Not many dragsters older than these, shows why they were called "rail jobs" for years. This was Saugus, which opened around '53 and closed shortly after San Fernando opened in '56. While both cars have roll bars (well, sort of), it looks like helmets were optional.

This 1956 effort of Brent Tyler and Warren Welsh was without a doubt one of trickiest setups of drag racing's first decade. It had a Cord front wheel drive differential turned around and the ring gear flopped to use as a rear end. Swing axles, Morris Minor torsion bars, 392 Chrysler with a torque converter, Novi blower, home made fuel injector, twin I beam front end, etc, etc. Brent was somewhat of a mad scientist with Warren the test pilot. Brent never, never built a conventional car or boat.
