- For the 1st time, the Southeast Gassers Association made their way to Farmington Dragway, located just outside of Winston Salem N.C., for an awesome day of old time drag racing. I hope you enjoy the footage, even though some of it is obviously out of sequence. Sorry for that. Enjoy!
And the cool thing is that these cars don't just sit there looking pretty, they get driven hard and hammered just the way it was meant to be! Love it!
Thanks! It's pretty awesome. Glad you enjoyed it.
The car and engine that changed cars and engines for ever.

I love the pix of the cars pre- race, but it was a total drag that your camera wasn't catching the winner/ loser after each race. Didn't mind the out of sequence photography so much as not being able to tell who won each race shown as well as who red- lighted.
The greatest car ever made in the history of the world in my opinion is the 55 Chevy 210 2 door post.
Pretty cool! You can tell those folks put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears in their cars. Some of the cars are truly a work of art.
And the girls in go-go boots are a nice touch! LOL!
I agree!
Great video, I am 8 minutes from Piedmont dragway. Would love to to these cars there. Thanks for the time it took to post video
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. I haven't been to Piedmont yet. I'll have to check it out sometime.

I always get this comment on every drag racing video. I use a gopro. It doesn't zoom so you wouldn't be able to see it anyways. Sorry. I just enjoy seeing the cars do burnouts and launch off the line. I could care less who wins. It's just good fun. Thanks for watching
Okay, I hear ya, and can't say as I blame you, I love those old gassers, AFX and superstocks ! Ride on Bro !!
Way Kool ! Whiskey-a-Go-Go girls working starting line ! Gassers/Babes. Dam, that rocks !
I am interested in the genesis of white boots :P
From here I can`t tell won or lost. Maybe i am missing something?
Excellent video.
Gassers Rule 👍🏻
Nice video but too bad you edited out the Mopars. Mopar or No car!
Thanks! Yes, unfortunately not all the cars made passes while I was there and I didn't film every moment anyway. No brand bias here. I love em all. I did get the Carolina Flash Barracuda at 26:33, 28:53, and 51:38 and the Quick and Dirty Dodge at 46:27 and 48:02. I think those are the only Mopars to run before we left.
This was a great video . When you started out you showed each car that was fantastic . You showed them Drag Racing that was great . You showed 3 different angles from the starting line . I wish you showed them who won at the end. I missed that part. But And all it was a great video thank you .👍👍👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇸
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
COOL VIDEO, BUT COULD YOU PLEASE SHOW THE END OF THE RACE SO WE CAN SEE WHICH CAR WON, W/THE "W" LIGHT?! THANKS
Hard to do with a gopro. They don't zoom, so you wouldn't be able to see it. Glad you liked it anyways.
Thanks so much for the video. I enjoyed it, It takes me back. GOD BLESS.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice !! Nice !! NAAAACCCEEE!!!! Can remember seeing Jim Kinett's car in Popular Hot Rodding magazine in 1979. Pretty sure he was running pro stock.
That's really cool! Thanks for watching.
44.10 just now
It`s 1/4 mile or 1/8 mile?
I believe 1/8 mile.
We were there. Good racing but it was hot as heck out there! Gassers are so cool. No power adders no computers just driver and machine.
Yeah you're right about the heat, but it's worth it to see those classic gassers. Hope they add Farmington to their schedule next year.
Why do Drag Racers choose 55 Chevys over most other cars❓
Tri-Five chevy's have always been very popular in hot rodding. But if I had to guess? I would say there are probably more of them still around and so there is a larger selection of companies making hi-performance parts for 55-57's out there than some of the less common cars like MOPAR's. Also, being more common means they are probably a little more affordable than some other cars. But that's just my guess. Plus there was American Graffiti and Two Lane Blacktop! That was a bitchin car!
Piss poor editing. None the less , really good show. Wish I had been there .
I'll work on my piss poor editing if you work on your piss poor comments.
Excellent pit vids. You might want to get shots of the timer displays for each race. Check some of Cleetus McFarlands vids.
Yeah they weren't displaying times just a W on the winning lane. My Gopro doesn't zoom so I wouldn't have been able to get it anyway. Thanks for watching!
SEGA doesn't use clocks for their races
It's on my bucket list to see y'all Oct 16 Huntsville Alabama! Much respect to the guys who run these cars with no computer on down track controls, These are real Race cars and Manual shifted cars turning the engines to the moon!! Thanks for sharing!!Love it when you announce the drivers during competition!,!
Thanks for the coverage , and the walk through the pits; nice to see close ups of the cars.
Thank you. I appreciate you watching.
Havent seen a Right lane win yet !!!
Love them man pedals.
how do i get to know were the racer are????
Very cool.............................. 😎
Thanks!
@@Carolinaishome 👍
Hey guys where can I buy two stickers,you guys are insane,kc lowe
Southeastgassers.com
@ 6:14 that must be for sale? and at 6:45 car called "pucker time" why the coverage of back tires? To keep them warm?
As I understand it, they cover the one that is on the sunny side to keep both tires at an even temperature for the run. Excessive heat can change the air pressure in that one tire and that my impact their run.
@@Carolinaishome wow, thank's , never thought of that precision of thinking
What's the air press in the rears
Not sure. I'm just a spectator.
Good Job...Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
question; in what gear do they make their burnouts? 4 speed manual. What would be typical used first and second gear and crown pinion size?
I would assume 1st gear. As for the rest, I don't know. A lot of their info is on their website.
I drive the green Homegrown 55 Chevy, I do my burnouts in high gear (4th). Most everyone there uses 3rd or 4th because there isn’t enough wheel speed in low or 2nd where we run 5.43-6.50 rear gears depending on combo, class, and ET.
@@zacharyhall3935 wheelsize and axle ratio , even if it is a short one, pulling burnout in 4th is huge. Lot of power needed. I can't do with just tiny hopped up 1600 cc LoL
@@zacharyhall3935 Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. I really enjoy watching you guys race.
@@zacharyhall3935 Thanks for sharing your information on the burn out I was wanting to know too !! Sounds like you're turning 7500 to 8000 rpms!! Can't wait to see you guys at the races!!
Thanks 👊🏁👊
Thank you for watching!
Some sweet rides
now how about shiftin' gears ya'll. To me it is the thing to do. No auto trans, just banging manual shifts Hell yeah. poor dog though with all that noise. Dont take animals to a race please
Iwish that they wood go to Norwalk ohio drag racing with all the best 👍 cars and drivers from the south east gas er
Thanks for the video...love the SGA format & philosophy. That said, I was saddened to see some crew "holding" cars during the burnout (a la Sesame Street Outlaws). This is an unnecessary and dangerous practice that will eventually result in injury and/or death, and lawsuits against the track and SGA itself. Personally, I feel if you don't know how to do a safe & adequate burnout, you don't belong on the dragstrip. If you think the practice is "old school", I would beg to differ. I've been attending drag races since 1965 (Irwindale, Lions, OCIR, Ontario Motor Speedway, Bakersfield, Fremont, Sears Point, etc), and racing since 1976 in a number of categories, and had never seen the practice till recently. I will say though...they still have sense not to jam up the burnout box/starting line with a bunch of people (or soft targets as we call em).
Yeah I agree. Seems pretty dangerous.
