Does anyone recognize which drag strip in Oklahoma they were running at in pt. 1? That was just a bit before my time as well but I think it was OKC... maybe the old Fairgrounds strip or Jimmy Nix's on Council Rd.? If the film was edited in chronological order then the track they showed definitely was West of Tulsa since they showed the Turner Turnpike after the Oklahoma racing. I'm going to watch it again and see if I can pick up any clues.
Also... anyone want to guess which BBQ joint they stopped at in Amarillo? I'll bet it was Sutphen's!

Now that was way cool. Fuel ban, no guard rails, front mounted blowers and how about that trick car hauler rig. The music reminded me of elemenatary school films/film strips. Are there anymore of these hidden somewhere?

I liked the announcer's intensity in #3. Not Steve by any stretch, but fun to watch.

Guess what! I've learned that Ingenuity in Action is available on a DVD along with other old footage. I haven't seen it yet, so I can't speak for it, but I did order two copies. I'd pay the price they're asking, even if only "Ingenuity in Action" were on the DVD.
If you're interested in the DVD which contains Ingenuity in Action, footage of the 59 Nationals from Detroit, here is the link.

The previous link is showing a different DVD now. Maybe they've sold out.
Try this site

Scroll down to Hot Rodding from the 50s. Ingenuity in Action is on that DVD.
