Vintage Drag Racing, 1959 AHRA Nationals (Part 1)
Footage of the 1959 AHRA Nationals. The very first car that appears in this video is a brown '33 Ford that was owned and driven by Herb Hoover of Kansas. It was the national champion of the A/Altered Class. It defeated "The Lemon," a yellow/gold '33 Ford Coupe owned and driven by Jerry Ross, Founder of Ross Chemical Inc." He finished runner-up, and went on to win the AHRA Nationals in 1960 at Kansas City. Ross Chemical is the industrial chemical division of Applied Chemical Specialties, manufacturer of HyperKuhl SuperCoolant.

The Gasser Wars At Indy
Pictures and movies that I took at the US Nationals at Indianapolis Raceway Park in the late 60s. The three pictures that are not mine, at 4:30, 4:35, and 5:13, are from gassermadness.com. Check it out, it's an awesome site!
For the soundtrack, I'm jammin' on "Shakin All Over", a song originally written and recorded by the British group Johnny Kidd and the Pirates in 1960 and covered by dozens of other groups over the years. Thanks for watching!
Sportsman Drag Racing in the '70s and '80s
The grass roots of Drag Racing, the weekend warriors, my old racin' buddies, as we were 25 or 30 years ago. Includes some exhibition cars too. These are pictures and video that I took at US 131 Dragway in Martin, MI, Central Michigan Dragway in Stanton MI, Brainerd International Raceway in Brainerd Minnesota, and Indianapolis Raceway Park in Indianapolis IN. The soundtrack is just me jammin' on some Foreigner and Police.
