Is the dragster audio from the late '60s early '70s, too? What a gorgeous sound, Lord have mercy! Would love to know the equipment used to record it.

Thanks for your interest and the kind words.

Regarding the dates of, and the equipment used for the audio recordings: A few years ago attended a 3 day Nostalgia Drag Racing event at Thompson Drag-raceway, Thompson, Ohio. I loved seeing all the old vintage racers (just like the old days) and I recorded the audio at that meet. I used a digital recorder (M-AUDIO microtrack II - with its stereo mic), a fantastic piece of field equipment which fits nicely in one hand.

Rock on,

Charles

Coolest video EVER...and great song selection from Jeff Beck !

[wheelsupz28]

i like the video itself...but why does most people that download these vids always have "head banging" "acid rock" crap as back ground music?

3:23 WTF?

I would have never guessed this Charles. I would have thought you would have been sitting in Japanese Tea Gardens pondering the depths of the Cosmos at that time. It's nice to see you are also a man of the world who likes beautiful women and big breasts and a nice tight ass in a bikini! That is some of the most sacred geometry on this planet. Thanks for the view, brought some great memories of how cool life was in the 70's. Love Jeff Beck and have also used his music in vids Many Blessings Rob
