1946 Podracer

9,480 ValtTeck  3.4 years ago

During the post world war 2 years, the united states airforce would sell much of their surplus hardware to the civilian market. A hobby of buying old fuel pods and turning them into hot rods due to their aerodynamic characteristics would emerge. This is what inspired pod racing in star wars, as these races would occur in the Nevada desert, as it was close the the USAAF training grounds. AG-1 for headlights.
