...hard to believe this was 1950...Paul Harris managed 131mph with his flathead powered Deuce Roadster...not enough to haul metal but darn quick nonetheless...quite the Tracknose and the side pipes look quite modern for the time...

I think both of these Hotrods fall into the theme of the Thread even though the lower of the two is more of a venture into the wild zone...kind of has a Sebastian Rubbo Roadster lean to it...

... @GEBHARD for what it's worth I found the image I was thinking of shared by @Murphy32...just a wild Hotrod any way you slice it...I'm thinking the B x W image is perhaps the late 40s early 50s...

Those are a bit more full and stylish but i cant stand the small cylce fenders.
I wonder what happened to this roadster i really like the front end treatment.

I really like this just needs to lose the front fenders...

 

Quite the story on that Hotrod...Sebastian built that way back in 45/46

​

 

...Cool Cars and Square Roll Bars...

Wild Pipes and Flames...great job Hotrodders...you done good real good...

Anybody know of this a period pic or Inspired as in Edited...Coupster?...just curious...I like the look...flames sorta look Watson'ish in a good way...but are they real...is that a smallblock...definitely altered/setback...funny I have the book introduced to me by @mike bowling...I really admire the regions influence in Hotrod/Custom...do you know of this ride Mike? hows the Coupe? Hope all is well your way...

A lot of the cars in this thread seem too have made it into the little pages.

 

This one made it into a couple different magazines back in the day, and in a 8mm film i've seen here on the H.A.M.B.

 

Awesome stuff @Speed Gems...I think that heavily channeled T is Canadian perhaps BC or Alberta...

The Little Pages...Hotrod Gold...​

 

...Harleys weren't the only kidney shakers......those ole 34's hugged the Track very well...

That must have been one of those special protected classes for Ford only like the special classes at Bonneville.
This is an amazing video but brutal:

 

Historic and certainly paints the less glamorous side of the hobby...I remember that one...I was recently on one of those racing sites and the loss of life back in the day was moving very much like watching this incredible footage...

...One of these lucky Hoodlums gets to take it home...I know!...the one with the foot on the tire...

Tweety Pie.

 

It takes big balls to hang outside of the body on those turns.

 

I appreciate but also struggle with videos like this. Mainly because it is exceptional footage and I’m glad it is there for the viewing, but at the same time there’s lots of pain and loss. I just can’t bring myself to hit the “like” button

 

I agree and as someone who attended races where these kinds of scenes played out, though thankfully no often, I sense the horror. As a teenager through my uncle's bar I had access to a group of older sprint car and midget racers. Their stories were sometime gory and gruesome but they still raced. In the video it astonished me at how many of those guys walked or ran away. The advance in safety now is a very good thing. Many more of these would have walked away. I've seen guys killed at the local drags. low ball circle track races, and in 2008 I saw a guy die at Bonneville. I have seen a lot more survive because new safety equipment and rules that actually prevented wrecks. View this as an add for safety and a lesson for why rules were made.
The A A Bondy song is great!

 

As brutal as these are not all were fatal...but yes some unquestionably were...and the safety barricading of the Racers evolved on that carnage...it was a long haul for sure...

Again reading the stories on these early racers they were very vulnerable to the lack of safety...it's usually the less glamorous lesser reported side of things...

I know I'd love to hop in a Roaring Roadster and blast around a track without the true competition as it is dangerous as hell...it was damn near a blood sport...I'm sure there were a few California Kid Sheriffs racing in the pack and putting one over the wall was just collateral damage...

 

Yes, Dangerous!

 

...Note that lower one is a plated Hotrod...

I guess the drive home is gonna suck a little IF he was even alive to do so...
