Early Hot Rod Footage

The Hot Rods of the Dry Lakes Era blog recently posted this neat film clip.  It is from a 1950 release called Hot Rod, and the footage below is from a 1946 Southern California Timing Association (SCTA) event.  The SCTA is the group that organizes top speed time trials, including those at the Bonneville Salt Flats.  The video provides an interesting look into the early days of hot rodding.
