A CHRISTMAS EVE VIDEO TREAT FOR THE ULTIMATE DRAG RACING FAN

 

You've done all your Christmas shopping, and the last thing you want to do is get out. It's Christmas Eve, and you've assembled the toys, bounced the kids (or grandkids) on your lap and fulfilled the family commitments. Yet you've still got some unspent energy.

It's time for you.

It's time to keep up your streak of 365 consecutive days of drag racing exposure.

We've got just the treat for you in the form of two rare videos.

The first is an episode of Adam-12 filmed at the legendary Lion's Drag Strip. There are some classic rides in there and to top off the plusses, a mention of B/ Modified Production. Yeah, it's worth the time.  

Then when that's finished, we found a two-part version of the Dave Despain "The Age of Drag Racing" documentary on YouTube.com. This documentary video features incredible footage from the 1971 NHRA SuperNationals in Ontario, Ca. There are neat interviews with Dick Landy and classic footage of Top Fuelers and Funny Cars.
