What fantastic cars! That one '55 had the most stunning blue color. And the metal or gold flake work on some of them was just beautiful. These are the kind of cars I think of when I think 'drag racing'. Or the '64 Thunderbolt, '64 Comet A/FX, '63 Z11 Impala, '63 Catalina Lightweight, etc...
That bright blue shoebox chevy at 8:45 is grabbin some gears and getting air on every gear change! Love it and this is how nostalgia gasser racing is done right. 3 pedals and balls out driving!
Ditch digger is a 55' chevy, note tail light, 56' is built shaped, also the front turn signal on the 55' is half a moon. Both years, same bodys. That kind of pastel green is a 61' chevy. If you care, 57'had the fin .
Another belting upload, this "type" of racing is the best, rpm, 4 speed, chassis action, as opposed to flat leaving, air shifted 2 speed auto junk, regards, UK
They're going to be at Wilkesboro Dragway this Saturday (May 6th) Unfortunately, according to the local weather forecast for our area of North Carolina (Wilkesboro and Western North Carolina) is for an 80% chance to rain for Saturday the 6th of May.
Why were they jacked up so high in the front? Seems counter to keeping the front down during acceleration. Also aerodynamically poor as it lifts the fribt at high speeds
Actual witts and comon knowledge is what it was about back then ,,,,now,,, it's ,,,,,POINT, LESS, HA HA ,,,GET IT ?PS. DON'T MEAN TO ,, DWELL,, ON IT THO 🤔😁
lol....I remember wayyyy back in the late 60's.....yes, 1960's in Tucson Az. You could get right up to the edge of the track and feel hot rubber fly on you when they left the line.
Love the Go-Go boots & flower power dress. It's like watching a re-run of Laugh In. The cars are cool too.
👍
Goldie Hawn look :) Such a cutie.
Say g'night Dick.
Hilarious comment! I was trying to come up with something but you nailed it.

Excellent AMC9L......A lot of new blood today. Those guys/gals were shredding those gears.....just listen to them leaving, hitting hard.....love it.

The best kind of drag racing 👍👍old school

Much more fun to watch these guys rev to the moon and start grabbing gears than an air-shifted powerglide.
Brings me back to when I was kid going out to Oswego drag strip, in Oswego Illinois.

How cool to see the manuals out there! I couldn't work out whether all the cars had 3 pedals or not.
Hi from NZ,
Anthony
All four speeds and I think a 10.5 wide slick. They put on a great show.
Awesome cars. Great racing!

The way everybody's dressed, it could be today.
Love the old school drag racing

That sure was fun!
It's about 7 hrs to this strip for us.
Looking forward to a day with the grandkids next time the stars aligned and I get a free weekend.
Yes, Throwitback, 1/8 mile racing is not like the good old days!!!😅
Pure. Core. Straight. Old school.

Some fool I knew in school had a brother with an ugly 56 .
Only thing ugly about it was the narrowed 12 , th400 and naturally aspirated big block .
Enjoyed!!!! 👍👍
👍
COOL👍🍺💯%
Thanks for watching!
Gassers: Now THAT'S drag racing! LOVE 'em! Any Gasser organizations/racing in the OK/AR/MO/KS region?
Back up girl is no "Jungle Pam"!
1:08 A car named "Dammit, Bob!" and then 1:27 ... Dammit, Bob!
👍
That girl in the go-go boots and short flowered dress is so dang hot! Oh, are they racing too?!!
Love that 4-speed shifti g!!
Hum, Made me feel 50 years younger, hang on and bang them gears. excellent job amc9l
I miss the quarter mile strip you can really wind them out and how many races are won on the last 30feet
I wonder how many of these cars are around today?
I'd definitely be using hearing protection around all that noise.
awesome
👍
God I I was there
Sorry I meant I wished I was there LoL. What a great day.
That little white chevy II had the motor
❤👍
5:15 best heads up run!!!!
👍
👏👏👏👏👍
👍
👍👍👍
💯💪
👍
Those are some very bad ass cars, just curious is that a NHRA sanctioned dragstrip 🤔 ?
No. It is at the time an IHRA sanctioned track. Most of its 60+ years of existence it was sanctioned at all.
👍🇺🇸
Never seen a 55 (hardtop) used for a gasser
is that 1/8 mile ???
55 chevy 4 ever
Left lane . . . . Loosey Goosey today
Alot of hot women there
Why were they jacked up so high in the front? Seems counter to keeping the front down during acceleration. Also aerodynamically poor as it lifts the fribt at high speeds
It's for weight transfer to the rear so the tires wont just spin. That's the quick and dirty explanation.
@@ahoneyman Ty. Its interesting because its the opposite of what we see now with the front end slammed to the ground.
@@Doncurrie000 the evolution of drag racing suspension is pretty interesting.
Imagine if it was all ev 😂
factory hot rods
Thumbnails work
Love the sound of gasses, and the look of hardbellied women staging them! Yeah, I'm sexist, if ya gotta go there...
try that with an EV !
Not much here for the Pontiac and mopar guys.
Actual witts and comon knowledge is what it was about back then ,,,,now,,, it's ,,,,,POINT, LESS, HA HA ,,,GET IT ?PS. DON'T MEAN TO ,, DWELL,, ON IT THO 🤔😁
Love the cars . . . HATE 1/8 tracks 😠
Track has been around since the 50s and has always been an 1/8th mile track.
who bakes yer stude yer studebaker
Give me 1/4 mile....
No way to do so at Shadyside with it's layout. It has been and 1/8th mile track since the 50s - when it was a dirt strip.
Drag racing the way it was meant to be not like these guys out there with Hondas and Toyotas and Nissans go somewhere else
👍
Great stuff thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Would be better if you didn't cutoff their ETs
Not something the content creator could show you. This series doesn't display elapsed time or MPH.
it's only 1/8th mile...
the track owner needs to ante up to a 1/4 mile UPGRADE
Track has been around since the 50s. Great place to race as it is. No more room to go any further.
Cute but no gassers had women backing them up in the day, it was for Funny Cars only
As much ss we all liked the gassers..they were slow.
No et's no point,
Win lights are what matters the most.
1/8 mile track? Give me a break.
I'd give $1,000 to see one of those cars flip over the jersey barrier and take out about 15 spectators with a few decapitations.
1/8 mile drag racing is for wimps.
The trach has been an 1/8th mile facility since the 50s. It was just a dirt strip for many years.
No insurance company would allow all those people standing around at the starting line..
lol....I remember wayyyy back in the late 60's.....yes, 1960's in Tucson Az. You could get right up to the edge of the track and feel hot rubber fly on you when they left the line.
Stay safe at home vax boy.
