Most people can tolerate another image of this car. I'm sorry that I don't have sound with it.

That might have been the year Stainless and I towed Arnold to 90mph. The only time we saw him make a pass 1987. The girls sure looked good in Playgirl! |

These were shot in 1975 and magazines only wanted B/W then.
I have run into a problem getting the downloads to work.

Well, the foto wasn't done on the Salt but in a way it relates to the Salt.
These are Burt Munro's daughter and son, John, at the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in Pickerington, Ohio
in 2006. They accepted their fathers medal.

The current issue of Hot Rod Journal has a lot of old time lake racing photos and articles. The Old Crow belly tank is pictured.
One photo shows a 1940 Mercury pulling a roadster. There is no one in the roadster and it is being pulled directly behind the car. There is no dolly under the front wheels. The caption says it is being flat-towed.
This seems like a good idea, bur I have never seen it done. Why is this? Do they need to chain up the steering wheel so the towed car does not turn?

Up until the mid sixties it was pretty common. As long as the front end alignment is close to correct and a tow bar is used it works rather well most of the time. A trailer works a lot better and allows getting home no matter what problems may be incurred with the race car plus it allows carrying extra equipment without having to unload it unless necessary. Trailers were a big step forward.

Thanks Peter. My father talked about his "tow bar" but I was too young to know what it meant. Yes, if you crashed and could not pull it home, you would leave it there. Then the midnight vultures would do their work.

This will give you the idea. We used to use them when 4WDing to hitch two or three vehicles together to push through the bad bits.  Cheers, Rob |

Flat towing is commonly used today when towing something behind a motorhome.
