    Love the Go-Go boots & flower power dress. It's like watching a re-run of Laugh In. The cars are cool too.

    What fantastic cars! That one '55 had the most stunning blue color. And the metal or gold flake work on some of them was just beautiful. These are the kind of cars I think of when I think 'drag racing'. Or the '64 Thunderbolt, '64 Comet A/FX, '63 Z11 Impala, '63 Catalina Lightweight, etc...

    That bright blue shoebox chevy at 8:45 is grabbin some gears and getting air on every gear change! Love it and this is how nostalgia gasser racing is done right. 3 pedals and balls out driving!

    Why were they jacked up so high in the front? Seems counter to keeping the front down during acceleration. Also aerodynamically poor as it lifts the fribt at high speeds

    • @ahoneyman

      It's for weight transfer to the rear so the tires wont just spin. That's the quick and dirty explanation.
