Great close ups (movies) taken in the pits and along the return road of many of the great competitors of the 60's.

@57Custom406 Thank you--it's comments like yours that makes the capturing, digitizing, editing, enhancing, etc. of those old 8mm home movies all worthwhile. But once again, the real credit goes to those (Mike Taylor in this case) who took the time and effort to preserve those great times on those clunky old 8mm movie camera's.

@IamZardoz The title is 65 Winternationals, but there may be some footage from 64. You can see the black Stone Woods and Cook Willys as well as the blue one. Great film

This is definitely 1965. All of the top fuel dragsters have zoomie headers, which they did not have in 1964. That, along with the fact that there are 1965 model doorslammers in the film would indicate a February, 1965 date.
