Here is a small highlight film of 1970s drag racing. You get some of the wild sounds and looks from drag racing's heyday. Pretty interesting!

  • @kenru2 That's frickkin' hilarious, Ken. Yeah, I guess it takes one to know one....haha. Thank God we're still alive. That alone proves miracles do happen.

  • WickedTornado, as the director of this film I must assure you that your assets are safe.

  • My God...whoever is responsible for the footage and the music should have gotten an award...as they blended the "feel" of the early 70's with the footage of the time. By this I mean, when this vid begins morphing into slo-mo...as does the music...and becomes all distorted visually with distorted audio too...it becomes much like an acid trip. which was all the rage at that time. I would bet all my assets that whoever made this was no stranger to psychedelics. Anybody else see it the same way?

  • @tommynacc I agree, I've been to both of them, i think there's some of the 1972 winternationals in there as well; for a split second at the very beginning, You see bill tidwell taking off in the Rossi, Lisa & Tidwell streamliner top fueler, Sad that the team didn't qualify.

  • The footage is from at least two different Winternationals: 1973 and 1974

  • You got the date wrong. This was from the 1973 Winternationals

    Great footage though! Thanks

  • If someone is interested... the music seems to be from Basil Poledouris. It says so in the credits, however his name is spelled incorrectly. So far I could not find the tune, any help welcome.

  • I like the music... andy idea where the music could be found??

  • Awesome video, the music though, kinda creepy..

  • NICE!!
