Big John Mazmanian enjoyed a highly successful career in American drag racing, progressing quickly through gassers and into funny cars. This particular Corvette is the first in his series of formidable drag racing cars, which were equally well known for their strong runs as for their stunning finishes and impeccable detailing. They truly looked every bit as good as they ran! This Corvette will be offered at RM Auctions Icons of Speed & Style event at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California on September 26th.

Vintage Drag Racing, looks like a 62-63 Chevy in the background so this was probably filmed around that time.
I think this was filmed in San Bernardino California.
The metal power lines look familiar though this area is probably all houses now.

I found a box of home movies at the Thrift Store, one of the reels contained this footage of a long ago drag race.
The cans of film are dated from 1957 to 1965 but the contents are mixed up so I don’t know when this was shot.
I found them in So. California, I don’t know where it was filmed.
One can has the name Bob Lehman written on it, I presume the original owner, one of the Dragsters has a name on it, you can’t see it in this video because it’s out of focus at first but it’s legible on the film.
I’ll have to look it up and see if I can find out any information on it.
At the very end there is some footage of kids playing some sort of game trying to knock each other out of a circle.
The video flickers badly, this is due to the difference between the frame rate of the film (16-24 fps) and the camera (29fps)
16FPS is correct for this silent film but about half way through I switched it to 24fps to reduce the flicker.
