I seen pics of that some time back.... I'll pass, those
pillars look pretty close



I've been to some dragstrips were you stand behind a guardrail that's VERY close to the cars at the starting line.
If I had a 9 second car that left real hard and out of control I would agree, but what are these heavy street/strip cars running back in the early 60's?
Probably not too many cars were wheelstanding and hitting the guardrails back then.
