The cover headline features Danny Ongais and the Carlsbad Raceway grand opening events, including early 200 MPH drag racing coverage during one of the most important periods in NHRA history.
This is an original 1964 publication — not a reproduction or modern reprint.
Vintage newsprint paper shows expected age-related wear including tanning/discoloration, fold wear, edge wear, creasing, and scattered tears/chips from age and handling. The paper has become somewhat brittle with age but remains readable and highly displayable overall. Please review all photographs carefully for exact cosmetic condition.
Tabloid newspaper format measures approximately 17 x 23 inches folded.
An excellent piece of early NHRA and Southern California drag racing history ideal for collectors of vintage motorsports memorabilia, hot rod culture, gasser racing, slingshot dragsters, and 1960s automotive ephemera.
