@@bobbysanders7725 Burnouts are the most exciting part of drag racing? Say whut 😄 This style puts it all on the racers skills, not electronics or super sticky prepped tracks.
this was exactly how i remember drag racing in the early 60s and i enjoyed it more than watching top fuel. i made many runs down that strip in the mid 60s and this brought back many memories.
This is it! The Drag racing that got me in as a kid of the '60's. The spectacle of each car looking like it just rolled out from the Hot Rod show... gear changes , real gear changes! slippin' clutches and all, and the precarious first second or two getting away from the tree! Thanks guys... ' love it all. Keep it going!!
Brings a tear to the eye watching this for the better times back then. That ol 61 Impala must had a 409 in it, she was smoking them for the first 330ft+. Thank you for doing this video.
My brother and I would go to Numedia Dragway and watch shows just like this... That was in the later 60's. Nice to see them still around. Thanks for the memories victoryredcolorado!
So, how my dad & his buddy did it when they built and raced BB/GD's from scratch! I still remember riding in the push car/truck push starting it up the track. Good memories.
Wish we had tracks that put shows on like this track does here in Texas...awesome to see pie eating contest things to include the family....a family atmosphere not a bunch of drinking and fighting...looks like they take pride in their track and people it SHOWS.......I remember when families raced together and stayed together......the good ole days....
When we were kids, circa 1967 we'd spend Wednesday nights and all day Saturday/Sunday watching the cars run ..car after car and ..trying to pick the winner and when we got older, we ran everything with wheels on it. Buying a house three miles from Fremont drag strip was the best decision my folks ever made. ..that and buying my first motorcycle. I miss the stands and track food. sigh..
Awesome! Didn’t know anyone doing this. Man it really takes skill to get out there and get it done. Thanks for sharing. Hope it spreads down south. We got gassers and maybe the pie crust thing will catch on. Cool!
If I hit that power ball this weekend I am going to build a new drag strip at old I-70 Speedway and run these cars every Thursday night. Thanks for the video.
@@nzsaltflatsracer8054 yeah I just went back and checked it's at 13:58 it's an old K model. But they do kind of have these round deep heads on them that do sort of resemble a panhead from a distance.
Great to watch! A lot of very cool cars, something for everyone. Nice track in a scenic location, it's just a pity that there was no people in the stands. They missed a trip to Nostalgia USA.
For we nostalgia, American Graffitti buffs it would have been cool to see the Milner 5 window and tha black '55 we saw at 1:40 do a pass together even though the coupe was about 2 seconds quicker. I watched all and had some favs even if they were't the quickest, the Harly Sportster, the 63 Plymouth, the 66 Pontiac, the 65 GTO were among them. Thanks again, loved the video!
Awesome video . what a great afternoon. I did notice a couple of C-1 Vette roadsters that were allowed to run without roll bars...wish we had that up in the Puget Sound region.
I enjoyed that, some of the Cars looked relatively Stock, others were fairly well Butchered and looked like Serious Drag Cars, maybe they would've been quicker on a modern slick? I also like the fact that there were more Manual Gearboxes than Auto's. I liked the Black Compact Fairlane, and that Shabby Old Blue and Rust Plymouth or Chrysler towards the end was pretty quick. Overall Good Stuff, Thanks.
High quality coverage! Damn fine job, victoryedcolorado! Had to laugh @ 12:02, seeing the Catalina sedan brought back memories of my 1st speeding ticket! Milwaukee County Sheriff's Deputy cited me for 86 in a 55...lost half my license (6 points), only had my 1st car ('62 Impala coupe) 3 days! Good Times!
them was the days boys. It was about speed, but it was also about yer neighbors hotrod, about class and style, and it ddint cost a billion dollars a run
So many tri-fives. Love the nostalgia. (to be period correct tho, need to get a couple more ambers on the tree.) Wish there were some early 60s Ponchos there.
OH, there they are. just saw the rest of the video. A couple blue 65s. The goat has an ailment I think. Maybe a 326 Tempest automatic, in GTO clothing. Fun to see them out and running tho.
Does anyone know were to find that footage of that rail drag car doing a burnout an a wheelie at the same time i seen it in an old documentry about the early stages of drag racing
It's all about hooking up, not the horsepower. These cars seemed to be without a workable 4 link and suitable tires for the track. There are some 9-second car there, that can't put it to the ground.
That’s why you see old vids and photos with FEDs smoking the tires the whole way, slick technology didn’t get good until ‘68 or so. A lot of these cars run at the Meltdown Drag event(now called Glory Days), they can run better slicks at that event, Pie Eating Contest is all about the look of ‘66 drag racing.
Big question...what air pressure are you running in the Firestone Dragsters 10;00 x 15sAre you running bead screws? What about the air pressure on the Hurst/ Radar Pie crust 10:00 x 15s?.Anyone see tires slipping on the rims at low air pressure?Thanks, any responses are appreciated.
i get this now its period correct racing like when the old guard would have literally stopped at the lights on the street. Which as far as im aware is where the whole drag racing originated from? Arnt the lights in the US a quater mile apart or something? They wouldnt have gotten out the car and started sweeping up the crossroads
Not sure I'd drive a dragster where the top of my helmet is 6" taller than the roll bar setup. This is great racing. Many gasser races aren't really like it was back in 1965. But if you're gonna have Milner there racing @ 5:18 then at least have that black 55 up against him.
At 00:11 check out the tire. The pattern in the sidewall of the tire resembles the edge of a pie crust, it's just American slang, for those old period correct tires. They seem to be trying to re live the old days of drag racing, when things were a lot simpler.
No shit, I'm so sick of these "just for fun" events. Just for fun I'll go do burnouts in a parking lot for Christ's sake. This goes for you TROG dildos too. Either race to win or park your pos for the next "costume party". Oh, it's all about family.
The black Impala super stocker needs to get someone to paint his lettering on by hand. Graphic cut decals look too perfect for what he's trying to acheive.
They are shown at 36:40 - 36:50 of the video. Basically, the ribbing on the outer part of the sidewall resembles the outer part of a pie crust. It's what slicks looked like circa 1960 or so.

Its a flashback to the early days of the sport. Got to respect the effort that went in to this organizing this event, from correct era cars, performance parts, track surface and tires. Great job by the track and event staff.
@@RadRidesByCru I'm talking more street racing but Byron is my home track and you pick alot og junk up on tires coming back to pits and in pits, sometimes if busy your pitting in the grass. It's a 35 minute drive with trailer cause of route 2 or 20 minutes drive with no trailer. Rt2 is 2 lanes and is right along the river and super curvy..
At the track there's a multitude of reasons for a burnout, but, wouldn't it be nice if there was a tire that negated all those reasons? As far as burnouts on the street and not at the track, they are 100% for show. You're not going to have enough junk in the tire to make a difference in a street race, any heat you put into the tire is completely absorbed by the cold pavement which is thoroughly covered in oils that you drive right into as soon as you launch. All on a tire that is completely ill-suited to the surface you're running on. It is, literally... a smoke show.
@@RadRidesByCru The smoke show, the smell of rubber and sound are the best parts. But yes, a tire that you didn't have to burn out in, would be nice for keeping cost down. My street slicks pick up all kinds of junk. I'm not talking a 40 foot 8k rpm smokey burn out. I'm talking a little power brake, or 1st gear little burn out. You got to at least get the water off from the box. But yes tires suck, even when I raced shifter karts or dirt oval karts with my nephew's. Tires were alot and you had to have a lot of them for different stagger and different hardness/Softness, grooved/ not grooved. I always saran wrapped mine after little rubbing with acetone..

The old dark blue Plymouth was a bit of a sleeper.
Yeah probably a Max Wedge car!
These guys brought the game, other tracks better take notice. Record crowds at Byron during meltdown era.
Definitely they need to get them back. Heard it's in the works. 🤞🤟

I don't understand the no burn out deal. The burnouts would have helped the cars and added some excitement to the race.
Me neither, they used them back then.
They didn’t do burnouts in 66. This is a period correct event. The real slicks didn’t come out until ‘68/9.

Respect the time period. If your a true drag racer there's nothing to bitch about. Were you honestly expecting really fast cars?
“First 60 isn’t prepped, and you can’t do burnouts...but don’t wreck your car”. Stupid. I get why, but stupid.
