Movie of the Week Part 2: Dragway 42 in the 60s

More action from Dragway 42 located in West Salem, Ohio, this is the second half of the film that I shared earlier this week. Just to recap, this track opened in 1957, is still in operation, and the guess is that this film was shot around 1965 or so. What I love about this clear, color footage is the variety of cars running at the strip, every thing from stockers to rail jobs. It really is worth watching, and I leave you with the same caveat at last time: If you’re not a fan of ‘generic video dub’ music, then turn the sound off for minimum distraction, and enjoy!
