I'm glad I grew up in the 50s, 60s, 70s. My oldest brother raced cars in the early 50s. My middle brother had a number of hot rods in the 60s. In 1967 & 68 I belonged to a street racing car club. In 69, I joined the Army. In 1971, I got out of the Army. I was a 19 year old disabled veteran. In 1972, I bought a 1965 Pontiac Catalina custom order car from a friend. It had a high performance motor & a heavy duty suspension with a manual 3 speed transmission. Of course, I raced it. Lol As the years rolled by, there were more hot cars, more races. I remember the Hot Rod magazines. Everybody had stacks of them. Those were the good old days. We could work on our own cars and there were no computers or other junk. Just pure machines. Friday & Saturday nights. Cruising the drive-ins, listening to Rock n roll looking for girls & races. Simple days.

I don't know what you're #'s were in the Catalina (I always like Pontiacs) but when I came up in the 80s the GN's really laid a strip, mid 13's. So the guys with the mustangs had to do gear swaps, 2.93 to 3.55s, home-made ram air, cheater slicks, H pipes to eliminate the cats, hi flow exhaust and all that with a good launch and reaction time could get you in the mid 13s like a Buick GN.

"Dragnet" began on radio as a summer replacement in June, 1949, and was considered a big risk for NBC Radio, as network executives weren't sure if listeners were ready for a realistic police drama. The show became an instant success, running on radio until 1957, and arrived on television in January, 1952. It had two successful runs on TV, from 1952-59 (7-1/2 seasons) and again from 1967-70 with new episodes (3-1/2 seasons).

Take a good look at the doctor. A few years later he became the "control voice" for The Outer Limits!

Slap on the wrist sentence. With George Gascon as the current D.A. he wouldn’t have even been charged.

One real name was used in this episode outside of law enforcement. Wally Parks who was big in the National Hot Rod Association and getting drag racing a real sport. I wish it had said in the credits if Parks was playing himself.

Yes he was still around when I belonged in the early '60s. I think he died around 2005 or so. Boy $1200 bucks in that rod, that injection downdraft system worth 4-5 k now. Like to have the '40 Ford the kid drove. I recognized Michael Ansara right away, played native American Indians in the day.He was also in some Star Trek shows or movies.

It was probably him. But since he didn't have a speaking part in this episode, he wasn't credited.

That wasn't Wally Parks. Parks was much taller and quite a bit thinner.
