Thanks buddy, I love watching this stuff as well. Did you see the latest video I put out last night? It is over 2 hours long of Vintage Drag Racing. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/v5WqnMh1CPc/w-d-xo.html
I am thrilled to see Byron still open, I ran a big block camaro there in the 70s. Great times and memories from a simpler time. Makes this 68 years old hot rodder happy to see it. The guy in the Impala with the pipe reminded me of my uncle. Oh the memories!!!
Thanks Tom! That Panty Dropper altered just needs to have the shifter sticking up through the sunroof (with the drivers hand on it) to complete the ‘60’s Big Daddy Roth Rat Fink look.
Oh yeah that would be awesome. Did you see the drivers line of sight when sitting in that car. Between the blower and the roofline there might be a 1 inch gap he can look out. Crazy looking Model A Ford.
Great video , I noticed this was at Byron Dragway , They also host the " Wheel Stand Championships " ( that are awesome ) that I've watched before ... if I'm not mistaken , thanks for sharing 😎👍👍
Yes it is at Byron. The Wheelie Contest is on October 5th and 6th, coming up soon. I will be there, and have been going every year since 2012. Amazing show they put on! Thanks for watching Jeff!
@tomeighty are you going to post video of the wheel stand championship 🏆 ? .... I wonder if Brian Ambrosini will be there trying to turn his orange Gremlin over 🤔 🙃😳🙂

im not sure if they all do it but that guy in the steel in time 55 had his 5 way harness laying over his body like a dish rag maybe he doesnt know how violent those cars get once they start to roll over he would be ejected instantly so i think its the officials job to enforce rules and racers code
This is 1000 feet right? I wish they never changed it.I always raced a quarter mile Quarter mile is the real deal. The reason they change it because the government stepped in and said they were going too fast. And now they're going faster at 1000 feet, then they were at quarter mile.
My battery car will beat most to 1000’ or 1/4 mile. I do 1/4 mile in under 10 seconds @ around 150. What’s wrong with that? I agree that the government trying to force you to buy one is wrong. But if you step back and look at the Tesla S or Plaid objectively, its capabilities are amazing and it’s a bone stock daily driver. The old days are gone and I’m sad about that. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t positives out there. Some people still think carburetors are better than fuel injection. To each their own Cheers

@@tomeighty- Yeah, no way you would get me behind that wheel!
These cars were known as gassers
EXCELLENT AS ALWAYS. THANX A BUNCH
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
It's nice to them running a full quarter mile.
I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH MY GASSER FAMILY!!!
We miss tha "Blue by You" '55 Chev 🙂I liked that '59 Chev and '57 Ford long roof. Thanks TomEighty!

Thank You Tom
You are welcome, thanks for watching, I really appreciate it.
Just Imagine How Exciting it will be when all the Cars will be All Electric and we do not have to listen to this Beautiful Sound ! NOT!
Facts right there!
Like how you show the run times, thanks for sharing
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
When I was much younger, I had a short WB '69 Chevy van (@3:20). It didn't rock like this one, but I did roll it once.
The red window 55 is amazing
This is really good thank you..❤
LoL you oughta see wats in my garage right now..🤔😮
I love me some '59 Chevy, that is one gorgeous '59 Impala.
Anybody remember the odd rod stickers that came with bubble gum?
EXCRUCIATINGLY AWESOME YO!
I love that Crosley altered
3:37 Zoinks!
Pretty crazy right?
Haaaa!!!! Well done
55 Chevy Is a Beautiful Car
AWESOME!!! 🇺🇸
❤
My '69 GMC van did wheelies with the engine in the front, lol.
Little Falcon high life is nice.
Yeah that is one of my favorite cars to shoot video of.
IT reminds me of the days when my dad to me and my brother to us 30 dragstrip in the 80s good time's
LOVE IT!!
💪😎
All nifty cars for sure!. And where's my Phyordhh belt buckle? I'm warning you. I have Taco Bell pigeons on the payroll.

@@tomeighty So, you think that Mopar is the same as Ford, huh? OK, I'm making extra spicy burritos for the pigeons. Don't say I didn't warn you.
👍🏁🏁👍
Nice cars but the ones that are surging or scavenging at idle are obviously needing a fuel to air ratio fix
im not sure if they all do it but that guy in the steel in time 55 had his 5 way harness laying over his body like a dish rag maybe he doesnt know how violent those cars get once they start to roll over he would be ejected instantly so i think its the officials job to enforce rules and racers code
I can't understand people who like F1, they miss all of what's in this video.
57 wagon with Chevy motor. Sacrilege.
Why do we only see one lane? Kind of a let down to not be able to see the actual race until the very last part
Was a good show but the car count was down.
I'm thinking I'd prefer tornado....ok, I like AC.
👀👀
Okay, well the rest of the BUGs can stay home now.

Only Top Fuel NHRA tracks changed to 1000 feet because of the speeds over 300 mph. Not all the other cool tracks.
Is this 1/4 mile?
@@jimmyhawkins5357 Yes
Exactly why I will never watch Formula E.
This is AWESOME!
FJB and FKH with their stupid battery cars! 🇺🇸

😮 [ l did the same thing when I was younger, l had to get married. 😮 ]
Why does the back up girl still have panties on?
What are ripoff They didn't show none of the hot rod class
Pulling Wheelie at the Race track, Is dumb, You go there to Race, Unless its a side attraction.All that Hp for what.
I don't know, I like it
Goes back to the old days
@@brianbloom1799 I think it's cool 😎😎😎
I think some racers find a perfect balance between performance and wheelies, they're really cool and probably feel awesome too🔥
