You gotta hear this 1 MB wav file!

It is just an audio recording of the run but man does that thing sound chunky when it starts. It was taken at the Lions Dragway back in 1959 and was posted on this page at the standard1320 website.

Q: What sounds better than a racing Nailhead?
A: (obviously) 2 racing Nailheads strapped to each other.

Also note the launch technique. A few revs and then floor it. No stratoshperic rev limits - just pure grunt! I want one.

Wasn't that a great sound! I wish I was there in those days.

I hope you spent 20 minutes listening to it on loop and not 20 minutes downloading it. It was only 1 meg.

I listened to the loop 4times, then studied all of the pics. Great fun! I love the net....and DSL
