Those glorious fuel altered race cars vary much a part of my American history, and of races , thank youfr🎉the vlogs glorious machines lolthanks BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen amen 🙏
If I am not mistaken that is Beech Bend park in Bowling Green Kentucky. It is quite the experience to be sitting in covered bleachers when those things launch! The whole structure shakes!!😊
Love the fuel altereds, Used to watch them at the old Irwindale racetrack in Southern California. Guys like Wild Willie Bourch, Pure Hell, Nanook, Pure Heaven, and lots of others. These are newer versions of course
My next door neighbor owned Pure Heaven ,I was part of the crew .One time at Irwindale we were racing Willie Borsch and we were pushing down to start when Willie veered over into the guard rail,he had that sleeping disorder narcolepsy,well that woke him up and he went ahead and ran the race.i don’t remember who won but I do remember the the in n out burgers in the pits,it was Harry the man who started in n out that flipping the burgers at tha t time
Watched one of these literally bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce down the track in Texas years ago. The announcer said the driver was definitely going to need a new, clean pair of drawers. There's a reason they don't run stuff like this anymore.
Whoever was the first person to say, "I think a 40's Fiat would make an awesome drag car," should be in the hall of fame. Probably got some strange looks from friends at first. Look them up in image.
Lived in Columbia Pa. all of my life...this is the home of CHARLIE HILL!! I watched him and Plamer build the BAD HABIT AA/FA the fasted Altered on the east coast. Can anyone tell what happened to that car??
Unfortunately these are the new school longer wheel base altereds, not the short wheel base hand fulls that Wild Willie and the boys drove back in the '60's.
I hear you....most are but some are pretty period correct but I know where your coming from as that same scenario holds true to nostalgia funny car and top fuel....that's not what was represented in the early nostalgia movement.....don't you just laugh at what a burnout is in our world vrs. the modern world defintion

Yes it is. I love going down there. I also love that you can be down by the fence and that you can walk around in the pits
I remember double engine dragster at Double Eagle drag strip in SanAntonio Texas. 😅
Good old days of 1/4 mile racing and wild crazy men driving..
Oh yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍

You must have a screw loose to drive one of those awesome
Sure do miss the breather masks
A 10,000 house power car.
Hemi with the distributor in the back? BBC with Hemi heads?
Early Hemis (331, 352 & 392)had the distributor in the rear. It moved to the front with the 426.
Fking badass
So what do you say about 50 year old technology on the engines I don't know about the clutch setups

I disagree these are pretty close to the original
