This looks pretty much like the stock car races we had here in Sweden from the mid to late 50´s. The only major difference is that the wast majority of the cars were US made. Hate to think about all this beutiful cars getting detroyed, but they where not worth more than penneys back then.....I know my dad bought a really nice ´36 Dodge in 1957, he paid something like $20.00 for it...I still have the "Ram" hood ornament, and it´s nice condition. The car served him and his friends for a year...

This is great! My Aunt and Uncle used to take me to Arlingon Stadium to stock car racing around this time. It looks a bit slow by present day but it was real exciting....a shame you can't hear them....they were LOUD! I remember the same starter guy in the boot of the Jag and the winning driver standing in there with him for a lap of honour......Brilliant!

I wonder if the participants/spectators in this video know/knew how lucky they we/are to have been around at this time?
What state is this?
