    I don't quite know what to say. Top-notch footage, exceptionally clear, with the actual sounds of the machines, but that French dialogue puts a wet blanket on it. I tried putting it on 'mute', with the Beachboys playing on the stereo, and that helped some --- no offense, but when did you say Ryan will be back?

    Judging from the chutes it looks like a pretty strong crosswind was blowing that day.

    That was fantastic footage! I love the pit shots. The term "clean footage" above is right on par. Thanks for sharing the film.

    Great video...especially nice to see Pete Millar and his "Chicken Coupe"...RIP....great guy who wrote "CARtoons" magazine.
    Pete would have been 81 tomorrow!!!

    I went to LIONS constantly from 1960 on...took my first two photos at the drags at Lions...here they are. I was 11, and was hooked on the drags, especially at Lions....the best of the best....

    Great footage, thanks for posting Jay. Ryan actually posted this one earlier this year (http://www.jalopyjournal.com/?p=7938), but I didn't get to see it due to my previous computer's inability to load films.

    Thanks for the trip back in time, sure do miss the days of real drag racing. Drag racing will never be the same.
