So much awesomeness here, I don't even know where to start. (But, I think I'll start with exhaust pipes)

Nice pic...I luv old motorsports pics

I think there's some type of 'symbolic motivation' in those header designs.

LOOKS LIKE HOT WHEELS FRONT ENDS.... NO SPRINGS... ALSO NOTICE THE BALLZY GUY WITH THE WIDE WHITE WALLS, RUNNING A HOPPED UP FLATHEAD V8, ..... AGAINST HEMIS ?

I love how the early days of drag racing had and "anything Goes" mentality and it seems everybody's cars were unique.

Hey, check out the roll bar on the car w/whitewalls...its not tall enough to offer much protection and its directly in front of the driver's head!!

You hafta admit, motorsports safety today has come an awefully long way.
