Re: A Trip To The Track
What great footage. Thanks for sharing that clip.
CT was a crankshaft company (I always heard the CT stood for Clem Teboe, the owner). Maybe one of you left coast guys can verify that. Obviously, strokers was for stroked cranks. Mike

Re: A Trip To The Track
It appears to be the opening to the “Hot Rod Story” produced by Alex Xydias
I was thinking the same thing. I like how the very end morphs into the line drawing. Gotta did the DVD out and watch it again, if for no other reason than, "Just because." |

Re: A Trip To The Track
Wasn't there a stop-motion camera sequence in there somewhere, of prepping for the race?

Re: A Trip To The Track
Always like to see the in car footage from back in the day. For some reason it just seems like it is real kinda like Home Movies lol. Not edited like the stuff of today. And that music makes me think of the old Sid Caeser show-Hah Hah>>>>.
