Sheer genius - kids today cant figure out a hammer or screwdriver
Back when anybody could build and race a pipe rack.
Anyone have any idea what the lettering said on the right rear quarter panel?
Keith Jackson the voice of college football! Classic!
This is great thanks! Watched him race to.
Buick!
I believe he still lives in the same house in Burbank that he bought for his parents when he was a kid.
I'm drawing this car right now! I wish this video was hi-resolution!
Mickey Thompson, legend. Crazy story. RIP.
winga dinga
Legend 😊
wow man, that is really something. .an NoN EXPectable treat . . didn't even EXPect to ever hear Tommy, 'what to say' of him personally EXPlaining the FOUR ENGINE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE DRAGSTER!🏁🏁gFNM/FL 22.8.'23☮️
Uhhh…, no disrespect, but that’s four gallons to the mile Tommy. I remember when you did your first run in this car. I was a kid but knew enough about cars to appreciate your unusual and outstanding accomplishment. I rebuilt my first engine by myself, a Honda 50, honing it out for a ring job and hand lapping the valves with dual compounds. It was exhausting but I did it and never looked back! Thank you for being the inspiration and legend to us all!
What a true legend. Go Tommy Go!
Amazing car. But by the video resolution I can't see well. The engines are hock together with sprockets and a chain?
Tommy was pretty well dressed for building a car
tommy was a CLASS A driver first, to many accomplishments invested a lot into the sport, a true gearhead
Weren’t those Buick nailheads powering the original car ?
Yes, they were Buick 401 cubic inch "nail heads". If you're not familiar the "nail head" designation came from the small size of the intake and exhaust valves which I believe were designed that way for getting as much low end torque as possible. To compensate the cam was designed with a lot of lift and duration which gave them a characteristic lumpy idle. There was a larger 425 cubic inch version that was just a slightly larger bore. They were designated by Buick as the "Wildcat 445" and the "Wildcat 465" which was their torque numbers emblazened on the air cleaners. My dad had a 1966 Wildcat with the 401. I can't recall if it was the 401 or 425 cubic inch version that was used as starter motors for the SR-71 Blackbird.
Whut
I built a V-8 Pinto. I feel like it was a Tinkertoy compared to this one. Never got to see him run it, but I built the Revelle model! Wish I still had it.
So... whats the transmission setup??
Wow! I'm 62 now and remember going to Lions, Ascot, OCIR, etc, growing up, I saw Tommy Ivo run many many times and always thought he was the coolest, so glad to see he's still here, love ya!
TV Tommy Ivo...
the supercharger doesn't push in more fuel. it forces in more air.
And one more thing. Its got the Big Slicks Daddy.
wow i have so many questions...
I'm pretty sure that's the voice of Keith Jackson on narration. Those were the days when it didn't take a crew of 42 guys in 6 semis backed by an 8-figure budget to race top fuel.
I love that rail
Tommy you rock no kidd8ng
I remember seeing this car at the first drag race that I ever attended in the late seventies at PIR ( Portland Oregon) I was bummed that it was a rain out and it never made a run down the track.Dale pulled had the war eagle trans-am funny car there also
Way too cool!
In the late Sixties, we saw you (TV Tommy) run at Sanford, Maine. It is a GREAT memory. Thanks, Tommy!
It's hard to believe that coupling chain can hold that much horsepower!
That is the timing chain.
@@deathwrenchcustom No, the coupling chain between the engines, it would have to hold maybe 600-700hp from the motors out put, not the timing chain on the cam!
Very nice video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.
I remember these tire smoking beasts of the 60's. That was when they all had a different idea to get down the track first. Now if you take off the decals the cars are all the same.
Love the music and narration.
Too Cool I remember this car and Tommy from Hot Rod Magazine. Thanks for posting.
Woah Nellie!!!
I don't understand how bolting two engines together would work. I would think that one would run at least a little differently than the other (rpm, power level), and that the differing power outputs/rpm outputs would break something. Were they really synchronized that perfectly?
Easy enough to build identical engines. If they are in time and use one distributor to fire both engines, it just thinks it's a V16 .
They don't have to make identical power. The difference is just what's left after one engine has removed 100% of the load from the other engine.
i wrote a report about Tommy Ivo when i was in 3rd grade (maybe 4th?) after reading about him in Hot Rod Magazine or something like that. in the early 70s they had (in michigan) the Ludington Reading Rooms added to the school libraries where there was no 'checking out and returning' books or magazines. they were all given literally TONS of paperback materials and they were free to read/take/use as the students wanted. i then looked for more material on him in the card catalog at the local library and found a book that i used for reference. even my teacher was amazed to hear that he ran a 4-engine dragster...
I love the narration of these old classic videos. No drama and no sensationalizing. Just to the point and entertaining.
I believe that's Keith Jackson doing the narration.
Took shape on a shop floor, is more like it...🧐
I’d like to hear more stories from TV Tom.
Always wondered how the engines were coupled together.
Inconceivable !
Talked to TV T.O. many times at Bakersfield hotrod reunion..he walks around with the crowd ..good guy.. watch the movie "bikini beach" and that car does a good smokie burnout.. started by Don Rickles
Years ago on one of my first trips to Tri cities dragway in Saginaw Michigan, i gave my cold coke to Tommy's only crew guy 😊 he asked me if I could go in the push truck and help him push the dragster back to the start line ??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 what a blast !!!
Trailblazer to be sure, thanks for posting this. Cool stuff. 👍👍🏁🏁
Tommy Ivo was able to experience both of two exiting worlds, the first big decade of the "TV age" and the first big decade of organized drag racing, all in southern California, what a time and place.
I always wondered how that worked. Years ago Dad had the record Big Sounds Of The Drags. Tommy Ivo’s 4 engine dragster was on that record. So I never saw it, but I heard it.
