1970s New Martinsville Kilo Speed Record runs

Filmed at the New Martinsville, West Virginia Kilo Speed Record runs in the 1970s and narrated by Phil Kunz. This film has inboard hydros trying to set World Speed Records while running through a 1 kilometer straightaway course. To have an official speed record run, you would need to make 2 runs through the speed trap in both directions and within a certain time frame. Your speed and times were an average between the 2 runs through the straightaway course (1 kilometer in length). This would become your official speed. Plenty of fast old hydros running through the trap.
