Re: Hot Rod Speedsters
I absolutely loved that. I'd never seen any of it before. The spin dizzies I thought were cool sitting on the shelf but to see them in action is awesome! The El Mirage footage was great, especially the in car footage. It's good to see the hero always gets the girl. Thanks fo that!

Re: Hot Rod Speedsters
"these old cars may look like the familiar old jalopy, but there innards have been streamlined and given a shot of motorized adrenaline."
just confirms i was born in the wrong decade. thanks for the footage from those of us who never got to see this stuff when it actually happened. |

Aww shucks, who needs those Squirrels and their "GOOP WAGONS" anyways?
My new favorite short movie right now form the awesome one cylinder engined cars to the lake footage I watched twice so far. "Ol Henry's V8 with fouw-er Car-Beu-Ratas" I love the commentary!!!! |
