This brings back American drag racing to what it was before NHRA turned it into an unaffordable sport for people. Bring back the picnic style racing of the 60s !

The early USA drag racing influence is striking. Takes me back to my early years. The only thing it lacks for me is Olivia Newton John.

Yes that is correct, if you watch the incar footage facing forward you may notice a safety device is installed on the throttle lever to limit its action and opening. Many cars had traction issues that day

@@musclecars.universe we've built two gassers. A 61 Ford F100 unibody. It has a small block with tunnel ram and a quick change rear end. Gathered parts to make it. Correct. The Fairlane is a big block with mechanical injection. Both built with period correct parts where possible. Both of them look like they came out of the past and we're always race cars. We're also building a land speed former NASCAR. And a turbocharged small block pinto. We have our hands full. Plenty of stuff to make content from
