I can’t get past the fantastic look on the face of this drag racer, it’s somewhere equidistant between horror and happiness.
Sonny Barger is, not even arguably, the most famous outlaw biker of all time. He was the main character in Hunter S.

The 1957 Daytona Beach Race was one of the truly classic early NASCAR events, the cars had to be showroom stock with only some minor safety additions. I think this sort of racing series would be incredible to see nowadays, totally stock sedans racing on circuits around the world would draw a lot of attention. Hell, I’d watch it.
The Iron And Resin Hooligan Derby is a race series that took part at the Ventura Raceway in California in April, May, June, September and November 2012. This video is a highlights reel of sorts, I just watched it twice and now I’m dying to go race with the guys next season.
