Cool beans Todd - had the pleasure of meeting Mr.Platt a few years ago at Barrett-Jackson - a legend for sure .As far as the clip - always liked doing those short hops behind the line ...............

Did you spot the wingtip shoes actually depressing the clutch?

Re: Cool video on You Tube
Hey Todd-
Hope that you are doing well. Perrone and I were talking about you this past weekend. Very cool old school video. I believe that was Bigg Stuff with the very early "on-car video" in the last scene banging 'em out! Shout out to Bigg still getting it done. |

Re: Cool video on You Tube
Did you see the packed grandstands! Do you think todays factory Drag Cars could bring in the crowds?

Re: Cool video on You Tube
The new cars would pack the stands too, if they were marketed right. Get the spectators interested in them.
