A friend emailed this to me. ... Ok: is this an actual event or a joke done
in photoshop? and if it's real what was the point? If any of you know the
answer I'd appreciate it ... I just have to know.


This was real. Air crews would bring on junk cars and "Drag Race" with the
catapult. Not sure if there was any scoring or they just did it for the fun
of it. One of the custom car mag's did a piece about it back in the late
'60's. This is where this photo came from.
