The grass on the other side of the fence, drag racing days gone by, and pre smog years are just some of the things we humans, and hot rodders always seem to long for. And so in the spirit of those yearnings, we bring you cool photos and video from the 1950s at Santa Ana Dragstrip in Southern California.
C.J. “Pappy” Hart started Santa Ana Drag Strip on what is now John Wayne Airport in South Orange County. Hart’s story is legendary, but we’ll let the videos speak for themselves. For more on Pappy, check out the gang at TheSelvedgeYard.com. They are completely BangShift.com approved.
