Think street racing is a new problem? Think again. The youth of today have been ripping up the streets since they were the youth of yesterday. Your parent’s parents terrorized their towns in their beaters just as the neighbor’s kid in a clapped out Civic blasts down your street. Coffee can tailpipes? Grandpa did it with no muffler at all.
Back in 1952, The Man put together this wonderful little video aimed at getting the hooligans off the street and onto the strip. More specifically onto the salt.
A great video courtesy of Ryan at The Jalopy Journal. Be sure to watch in full screen to take advantage of the great quality copy.
