This is kind of neat.

Car, but not race related.
My 90 year old aunt sent me this off you tube. Because she knows I have a 1927 Chrysler.
That in it's self is a big shock to me.
It's kind of cool. Not much footage like this.

That is incredible! So the engine makes what, 50 HP? Then it must have something like 8.50 gearing to take on those mud roads.

This video has a racing connection...I know of some pit roads that come to mind as I watched this car make it's way to the "staging lanes". Cool video ...Thanks for sharing.
PS Get your car fixed for Brainerd!

I wish I could get it fixed
I'm sort of low on racing fun tickets right now.

Yeah! That reminded me of the sportsman pit area at Houston!

No mattrer how bad it gets out there, I guess it could be worse and we should be glad it's as good as it is. I guess it was a good thing that those old cars had a lot of ground clearance. I do think that, after the sideways 360, they should have tugged that right front fender away from the tire a bit.
