THE TIME MACHINES

Originally produced by Fram Corp. 30min

This film is shot with very advanced camera angles and techniques not usually seen in documentaries of this era– in-car cameras and slow-motion photography, incredible!

Labor day Indianapolis Raceway Park 1969

This film starts with an interview with Charley Alan and also Dick Landy super stock class, Don Prudhomme, Don Garlets.

Cars seen in first segment are Ron Ellis, Bounty Hunter of Connie Kalitta-70 Mustang, Mickey Thompson’s Mach 1, Big John Mazmanian.

Ed Pink plugs Fram Filter.

Unbelievable footage of 2 rails burning out, shot at 1000 frames per second. You can see every pulse of the engine as it strains to launch the car.

Ronny Sox in a Barracuda wins when  Dave Renn blows a drive shaft.

Also a segment on Super eliminators and Gassers.

VAROOM 30min

The Original sound track of this film makes it a time capsule of 70’s Drag racing, when it was a family sport.

Great interview with Shirley Muldowney (The boys were all with me until I started winning.)

Don Garlits (I am a target like the gun fighters of the old west.) Don speaks of the origins of drag racing back on old abandoned airport runways. This is followed by a great segment showing ’50s drag racing old cars and hotrods of the era, complete with really corny music! Jet car runs 280mph.

Don Schumacher, Soapy Sales, Rat Trap.

Shot at the Pomona Winter National. This films closes with one of the most outrageous slow motion segments I have seen. Shot on 16mm, the slow motion on this film is excellent!! Not like the video slow-mo you see today.

The last Drags at LACR/ Dry Lakes 25min

A mini documentary about the last drag race at Los Angeles County Raceway. Also in this video is an outing with the boys from the Los Angeles Shelby Club as they go out to the dry Lakes to see what it’s all about–great footage of high-speed runs.
