I received 67 emails or private messages about this video yesterday. As such, I figured I had better post it to please the masses regardless of the fact that it's already been posted on the H.A.M.B. And really, this video is worth a feature simply be...

Saw it yesterday and your right, it is the best footage I have seen of track roadsters..

-Brent- · 03-21-2012, 10:28 AM

Those 1915-22 Ts looked so right out there.

I could not believe the film shot from the rear of the camera car, he stayed out there for a lap or two, With Jack and Manny in the front row it was quite a show!

Nice picking on the guitar Ryan.

The roadsters were great and it was good to see it that it was shot with a tripod mounted camera giving steady shots. But for me it was also checking out the infield; the pile of jalopy sedans, the support vehicles, and the people watching.
And Ryan, the music worked.

Sweet!!

Great movie. Music was cool, probably not what they were listening to at that time, but a great break from some of the BS at work. Doesn't Rathmann live up to his reputation...look at that expression!

**JeffreyJames** · 03-21-2012, 11:00 AM

I knew you'd add some tunes to it I for one think it's just that much better with the soundtrack. Glad to know I'm not the only moron that bombards you with PMs. Haha!!!

oneyellowtub · 03-21-2012, 11:47 AM

Incredible!

Now I am daydreaming about where I can "race" my "tub" after I cut it apart and rebuild it into a roundy-rounder.

**HOTRODPRIMER** · 03-21-2012, 11:54 AM

I gotta admit I liked it better with the tunes.

Yeah by the look on his face you'd think he was gonna upchuck.

BOMONSTER · 03-21-2012, 12:05 PM

So PURE on so many levels.

Multiple threads on this video. But that No. 53 pick up might be Yam Oka. Or Fred Ryness. Or Colby Scroggins. I've seen those names associated with that number.

**SUHRsc** · 03-21-2012, 12:41 PM

I've dreamed about a video like this for years..... and there it is... I've watched it more times then I care to admit over the past couple days.....

3wLarry · 03-21-2012, 01:49 PM

Asphalt Outlaw Hero · 03-21-2012, 02:44 PM

batt69nova · 03-21-2012, 03:04 PM

Couldn't help but notice the "rollbar" on this one.

Sometimes, when I see the way folks lived before "safety everything" I am amazed. Totally bad ass video!
