Hauling Drag cars in the 60's
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79br00IHXVc

This video shows how race cars were transported to and from the race tracks back in the '60s. Most of the race cars, even some of touring professionals were carried on open trailers, ramp trucks, or pulled with tow bars. Today, 90% of drag cars are transported in enclosed trailers. Gone are the days of seeing beautiful race cars being towed down the highway.

This is really drag racing at its best. How I used to haul mine was open trailer and the car I used was my daily driver. Eveybody could relate and buy the stuff at the dealer on Monday and build there race cars. We had more money in the drag car then the trailer and tow vehicle put together 2 or 3 times as much in the drag car then the trailer and tow vehicle. To day you can't relate to it much anymore. This is why drag racing is dying a slow death.If I could go back in time I love to be in the late 50s and 60s. Even with not much money back then you could have fun. Today unless you are rich its pretty much over for the general public. To day they have 10 times more in the trailer and motorhome then the car.Beem me back to the 50s and 60s anyday.
