    Excellent video! Today we've got access to unlimited information at our fingertips, but back then people had to figure things out for themselves. Lots of perseverance and trial and error went into building those early racers. What's even more impressive is just how far Alberta is from the early hotbeds of racing/hot rodding in the USA. They had to rely on their own ingenuity and determination to get things done. Thanks for keeping history alive!

    A remarkable story from a remarkable time. The war which impacted everyone’s lives was over, there was hope for the future, if not a lot of money to be found. The massive postwar industrial boom was a couple of years away and people were trying to get back into a familiar way of life. Men who’d learned their trades, or honed their trades in the military had knowledge and enthusiasm, and turned tired cars which had only survived due to wartime shortages, into speed machines. The scrapping of war machines provided an unexpected bonus by way of parts and materials, especially lightweight seats as seen here!
    Thank you, Matt and Jim, for sharing such wonderful videos. As a proud patron of the channel, I’m glad to be able to offer a wee bit of support. Cheers from Australia!

    Alberta home to some of the best dinosaurs in the world and these model T racers fit right in modern auto racing owes a great debt of gratitude to the men who built and raced these awesome cars not only in Canada but worldwide great seeing them.

  • @thomas5714
    @thomas5714 Год назад +2

    That was awesome!!! As Matt said, as I was watching it I was thinking 'time tunnel' - - back to when men were men and women made sandwiches for them w/ a thermos of coffee.

    * Great Episode Gents. Younger folks aren't big on tradition. Which is a shame. People should respect the history as it's what got us to where we're at. Your channel stands for tradition and that's why I love it. Great cars and great history. You gents are so lucky to be able to work doing the things you love and respect. The watch is so special. What a present ! 👊😎👍

  • @johna1160
    @johna1160 Год назад +13

    Great trio of old Ford race cars. The fact that they all share local history on the track makes it even more special. Watching the race itself was a hoot. Think it's great that Matt gets into wearing period hat, helmet, coveralls, even the wristwatch! Still hoping to see Jim's Mark II getting some work done in the garage before long.
