Depends on the track and the event. Many tracks allow no helmet if its a private rental. Also some tracks do not require a helmet if the car runs above a certain ET (like 14.0). A lot of the old 60's muscle cars were 14.0 or higher cars in stock form - especially with street tires.

OP - that was cool to watch. Thanks for posting. I love to watch guys slam those old four speeds down the track. Back in the 70's I had a 70 Mustang Mach 1 with a built 351 Windsor and a 4 speed top loader. That car was a blast to slam gears but it tried to kill me many times. I also love to rip on my 6MT SS although I still can't get the no lift shift down very well - too much old muscle memory to overcome.

Yep, and no fire jacket, no gloves, airbags, crumple zones and whatnot either. Grandpa does it like he used to back in the 60s-70s . And those shifts...

You can have more fun with a manual although the A10 is a special auto. Love the top video. You can see why we called rowing the gears. LOL

I’m with you SSDan as I can’t get the hang of no lift shifting either! I have been driving a manual 40 years and old habits are hard to break. Yeah the drag racing back then was archaic as compared to today but it’s a blast to me to see those old muscle cars run down the 1320!!

Yeah Fraxum in the day though an Auto would have been a disadvantage to a 4 speed especially a 2 speed Powerglide!
