Motion Pictures World's Fastest Hippie

I sent this video to Mike Mitchell son, He said it was upsetting but he
enjoyed seeing his Dad and has sent it to his Mum and sisters,

 

I wanted to buy that truck from Candace, but snoozed and loosed...

 

NITRO...well i believe he is the LAST hippie, so that would make mike the fastest! HA! yea mike it toke 30 yrs. but you finaly earned your title...POP.

 

Cool piece of film Al....too bad it stopped at the burnout!

"It's an all out maximum high performance mother f*$&%r..."

"...The great American way."

Just opened the latest National Dragster and that roadster vette is the photo page that will get torn out and put on my shop wall.

 

The true days of racing.

NITROFC, thanks, you always come up with interesting stuff. Way too many years ago, i did the round maintenance on a Crowerglide.Memories.....

 

Yup, those were the days allright.
Tied up tyedyed shirts,Olympia,serious lack-o-corporate sponsors.
I remember helping push the cars outta the pits and riding in the chase truck just because we werent afraid to talk to the teams. Man, those were the days.
The music was better too. .02

 

I thought I was going to open this thread to find a picture of an old acquaintance Jeff who put a Porsche engine in his Westfalia camper in a drug induced fit of creativity.
Although I was not present for the maiden voyage, two friends who were there for the ride corroborated on separate occasions that they hit 110 mph... blitzed out of their minds mind you ... and that the engine had a lot more to give, but the aerodynamics just said "No."

Wish I could have seen that. Not sure if he's still alive but he was always good for a laugh.
