8mm Home Movie of the Week: A Day at the Drags

Here’s another slick clip that is worth your time! Enjoy this color, 8mm silent home movie film of the gents in their ’34 Ford 5W coupe heading off for a day at the drags. I’m gonna guess this was shot around 1954 or ’55, and by the yellow license plates, I’ll say this is somewhere between Ohio and Pennsylvania, but that’s just a wild guess (please chime in if you recognize anything). Lots of cool cars in this one, and plenty of side-by-side racing including hot rods vs. motorcycles!
