1947 Thrillcar Races Connecticut

An old 8mm home movie that will make you laugh and cringe at what these old classics were subjected too. Enjoy !

Reminds me of a show that came to my little Alabama town in the mid-60's that was headlined by a guy named "Crash Brown". It had the same stunts as the ones in the video and prompted my fellow neighborhood kids to build ramps that we jumped with our bicycles. A different day and age........  :)

 

Well.....a bit of internet sleuthing:
