Vintage Jalopy Stock Car Races-8mm FILM TRANSFER DEMO

Vintage 1950's film footage of Jalopy or Early Stock Car dirt track racing in the mid-west. This is the 3rd of a four video set. This film is featured for it's content, not the quality of the film stock. Some of the film was so dark we could barely make out an image, so it has been highly processed. Nonetheless, we hope you enjoy watching this wonderful old film!

Thanks for posting the jalopy racing videos. All of the action is from the Bryan, Ohio Speedway in 1963. I attended races there and took many color slides in the pits of the race cars seen in the video. Coupe # 83 in Ken Clady of Holgate, Ohio, the #35 is Roy Forbes of Bryan, Ohio, and the red, white, and blue #11 is Don Sattison from Waterloo, Indiana. I'll study it some more and see if I can ID any of the others in the "sportsman car' class.

@DayHeath Wow! Thank you for identifying this old footage. It was sent to me out here in Washington state from Ohio to transfer to DVD, which I did. But the footage was so wonderful I felt compelled to load it up here on YT for people such as yourself to enjoy. I am just thrilled you recognized the track and participants! If you id more please post up any more info you can. Thanks again!! Happy Holidays!

It is also referred to as "bump & run" here in the U.S. I just love the nostalgia of that period.

reminds me of Dick Lane's stock car races in Torrance Calif I used to watch on TV in the late 1950's. He used to call out ohh,ohh,ohh.. thanks for the memories

how did you digitize this. I have been asked to do so for a friend and I TOTALLY am a Digital video guy and don't know how to proceed.

My old dad ran a car in the1940's and 50's. This brings a tear to my eye. Love the music. Strauss?
