In less than 24 hours, BangShift.com’s live streaming broadcast of the 52nd Bakersfield March Meet will kick off, and to get you ready, here’s some vintage drag racing footage from 1963. The films were taken at Pacific Raceways in Kent, Washington.

Push trucks, dragsters, some sportsman action, it’s all here. You’ll need to make your own sound track, but watching slingshots haze the tires for the length of the track, even in silence is awesome.
