Never seen this film before, not the 60 race but the 61 race.
Looks like only 2 Valiants, but still beat that pontiac!

Nice Stan, thanks for sharing!!!
a few things to Note:

- Lee Petty has some skookum Safety gear (just a T Shirt with short sleeves) :-o

- Fuel filler relocated up to the top of the Left rear 1/4 Panel.... for quicker fills??!?! maybe - To keep the fuel from sloshing outtta the tank and onto the track??? yes.


- I till love watching them go backwards / anti clockwise on the high bank - Puts the driver right into the wall..

- would the Saab's have had a 4 cylinder for this era?

I like watching this video..

Reminds me of the Toad racer @ NCM..

I like how they redid the file filler to the Top of the quarter panel just behind / Under the rear window.... LESS slosh out at that position.

Rod Builder Came in the mail today.
Very little detail, but does show aluminum drums and front suspension.
Also cam installation into the 170 block.
They don't even show the engine compartment.
