"Ingenuity in action" 1958 Sid Davis film

So I found this website that has archieved old video and audio footage. I did a search for 'hot rod', and what do I find, 1958 color film from Sid Davis about the 1958 Hot Rod Nationals. Dragster action!! There's a little gasser action in there for you also. It's in two parts, here's the link to the link page. Scoll down to get to the 'Ingenuity in action' links.

Here's the description:

"Made for hot rod fans; explains how to prepare and enter a car show; also serves as an ethnographic account of the "nomadic tribe of hotrodders".

It plays, on my computer, with the Realtime player. It's not the best download, but it might just be my crappy video card.

 

Nothing says dragster action like an announcer with a unibrow!
