Brief video of 1966 Hurst Hairy Olds!

RARE VIDEO - 1966 BAKERSFIELD FUEL & GAS CHAMPIONSHIPS

I wasn't sure where to put this.
At about 1:05 there is a brief video of the Hurst Hairy Olds doing a run. Probably the best footage I've seen of the car......and it didn't wreck even though it was a handful and seemed to wreck a lot. Crazy piece of machinery!

Great post. I absolutely love those early drag race videos. So many big names in that video. Thanks for the post

Maybe this could be moved to the General Discussion forum so more will see it.

The Hurst actually launched straight that time.
I cant imagine what those slingshots must feel like to drive. Talk about a set of brass ballz.

Yeah, I can't believe I never ran into Hairy somewhere in that timeframe. It would have been neat to see. Joe had a handful to drive there from what I've read!

If the Moderators think it would be better moved to General Discussion, then go on and move it! I had trouble deciding where to post it.
