  1. I wonder if he wouldn't be a car length back, if the pipes were bigger?

    For one thing he is racing a dragster with a sports car and secondly it has early Cadillac power and they did not have very large exhaust ports.

    upload_2019-7-16_3-17-11.png 1960 Bakersfield Smokers March Meet
    Al Hirshfield vs an Austin Healy Afternoon Eliminations

    Hello,

    We were following most of the So Cal drag racers that made the trip to Bakersfield for the difficult, Bakersfield Smokers March Meet in 1960. One of the top Gas Coupe and Sedan racers from our local Lions Dragstrip went up against a V8 powered Austin Healy in the eliminations. We all know that the combination of a lightweight sports car and powerful V8 motor causes havoc at the drag strip.

    It was short lived and decided at the start. The Studebaker sedan was very fast off of the line.

    The Austin Healy did not have a chance. The Howard Cam equipped Studebaker Sedan was no match for the Healy, leaving the sports car in the dust.
    Al Hirshfield total
