You could do a frame by frame stop action of the red primered RP and use as a build sheet for something really cool!

 

I don't think all of that is Detroit Dragway. Some looks like Milan to me. And the Freight Train sure looks like it was at IRP. That might make sense sense with the footage of the Indy 500. But all of it is cool!

 

thanx for some cool memories, this was my era of drag racing

 

thanks for posting! looking for footage of the car in my avatar. it ran detriot in 59 with a flathead, 61 went hemi. ran detriot. martin ,indy, us 30. anybody runs across any footage would appreciate a heads up!

 

Great memories of that place..spent many a Saturday there wandering the pits and watching the cars run..goal was to be able to take my car there and be able to drive home and cruise graph with my number and dial in on the window..by the time I got a car worth going in the place closed down..still drive by it on my way to Flat Rock Assembly...would be great to have a place like that again.

 

I know a guy that has a bunch of old Detroit dragway footage.

 

There's a promotional video from NHRA called Ingenuity in action which was professionally shot and I believe it is of the 1959 Detroit nationals.
