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.

I could just see myself back in the 60's and 70's. A hot Saturday night, the smell of burnt rubber and nitro, and the noise. Memories forever etched into the memory of this now 63 year old man. I'd give up the rest of my life to go back for just one of those Saturday nights when I was young. Thanks for the memories.

@@bigredc222 This may be all well and true BUT, today's drivers seem to have a self centered mentality and have no respect for others on the road. Along with distracted driving playing a factor.... i.e. cell phones, info-tainment center in the dash, etc. Turn signals and dimmer switches I THINK have become an option on vehicles built the past 20 years or so..... Sure the cars of today MAY be safer in regards to 'deaths' but I wonder how a lot of accident participants would fare IF none of the safety equipment, i.e. air bags, anti-lock brakes, skid control, traction control, collision avoidance systems etc. were on the vehicles?? It is of my opinion we are simply protecting the incapable people which don't ACTUALLY KNOW how to drive and are simply plopping into a vehicle to commute. Unfortunately actual drivers share the roads with these 'commuters' and have to drive for them also to AVOID getting into an accident.

Pretty soon here came a older black Dodge pickup pulling an open trailer with a tire rack on it. That was his transporter. If it didn't make it go fast, he didn't need it.

Going to local races today you still see bracket racers running open deck trailers, even a couple single axle setups, and occasional ramp truck or roll back tow truck. At test & tunes you often see daily drivers driven to the track, sometimes they do a tire change. Many are moving to the enclosed trailers and RVs or even larger setups. Toterhomes, stackers etc... Times change so does the equipment. Considering building a ramp truck for my car...

He sold it to a friend who had a construction company. The fellow who bought it sent an employee after the equipment trailer to haul a 450 Case dozer. As you can guess the Nimrodd loaded the dozer onto the car hauler.

Amazing how money, sponsors, and selection changes a really nice sport. As fun to look back and watch your video, it is already showing the signs of the aforementioned in how it was already changing. It is easy for me to look back and see those that drove their competition and those that pulled them by tow, and the exquisite that had the luxury of trailer, all headed to the strip. What was once a poor man's sport has certainly evolved. Back in the day, we actually used junkyard parts to revitalize worn out parts and honestly won money by doing so. (LOTSA NEW "TOTALED CARS" TO CHOOSE FROM)....LOL. It was very tough to by new parts UNLESS, ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Anyway, THANKS FOR SHARING

Here around Grapevine Tx. Around 1968 Dirt trackers which was my father's family side used Tow bars drug them behind car or pickups couldn't afford trailer's till later on. My mother's side drag racers Drove their cars there to tracks. The Vances were very well know around Yellow Belly speed way near Dallas Tx. Later on trailering as laws changed and their cars got more radical Like their 1957 Little Red Riding Hood Corvette which Gene Vance rode willie's all the way down the track with at start no willie bars lol

My Dad Towed his 1940 Chevy Coupe AA/Gasser across country with a tow bar. He didn’t have a trailer.

I remember my dad had these "handy man" encyclopidias mostly about home improvement but one of them was how to build a dragster and hauler

Tom Yeager cudos for saving some classic iron, especially one with some unique history as yours! Best of luck on your resto! I would most certainly take that baby back home to the track.

Tom Yeager I would love to see how it turned out there should be more people like you. I hope you still have it and enjoy it, or at least took it to Barrett -Jackson or Mecum and got some awesome amount of money for it.

Very cool project. Nice to see some appreciation for the overall history of racing,... not just the cars themselves.
