Thanks for the memories. Saw that years ago, and had forgotten it. I was there the night that Detroit Dragway opened to the public. Car was a '53 Ford.

How great is it that these old clips are out there to see now, the "skullduggery" required to make stuff happen then is pure fun and awesome in it's own way at the same time.  If you couldn't noodle your way through a problem you were done, so you just did it.  Thanks for the link  :)
