Couldn't click quick enough. Like I said before I can sit down with a couple cups of coffee and watch your videos all day. Like the song Cher sings " If I could Turn Back Time " I would go back to Old School Drag Racing Days. 👍
@@JaredR1996 Hate to give away my age. But I'll tell you back in the late 60s and 70s I used to bleach the tires of the Boston Strangler when it was a dragster, then became a Funny Car. Up at New England Drag way, Epping, New Hampshire 😎
Love these videos! Grew up watching Drags as a kid at US 131 in Michigan. I always wondered what that corn tasted like after a couple of weekends of drags...LOL
Great video productions. Clear & coherent videography. Superior sound. My only suggestion would be to give a little more attention to the winner, his time and top speed. Right now they move across the screen too quickly - hard to pick up the details. Thanks, TED
I wish TH-cam would have a update like when you watch a video and you have to go some where and you get back home and get back on the video it saves where you stopped your video I want that to be the next new TH-cam update :D.
Being a 2nd generation drag racer myself in stock eliminator I remember the grove fondly when I was younger. My father had a 62 corvette and 55chevy campinged out of the hot rod shop. Ran modified eliminator against the likes of Tony Christian and pat musk and many others. You do very nice work
Thank you for posting it, my friend.. I like to body surf, I'm from Hawaii and I like to watch Drag Racing. On Oahu were I'm from Our Local Race Way Park was closed down do to Insurance. Mahalo.
In this video you can see two orange square blocks (aka cones) halfway down the track. The second block (cone) is the 1/8 mile (660ft) marker, the one before it is to calculate the speed between the two. Also the time it takes Pro Mod about 5.50 seconds in 1/4 mile (1320ft) versus about 3.50 seconds for the 1/8. Also 1/4 tracks are obviously twice as long. 1/4 tracks can be set up to run 1/8 mile events. But 1/8 tracks can't run 1/4 mile because they aren't long enough. Not sure if I did a good job explaining it but if you go to a track ask someone. I've never met a person at a drag race not willing to teach a new person about the sport.
Grew up 7 miles from this track, spent a lot of time here. Favorite car was the Chi town Hustler!
It's my number one place for racing events
My favorite was animal Jim furer

Same. I’m only 24 and I love these old race cars

Thanks for watching!
Oh yes , some good ol fashioned new age pro mods, oh yes Kool thanks BigAl California.
You bet
Very cool............................. 💪💪💪👍👍👍
Thanks!
I love the cars with names on them.
It's better for the viewers if the times are held on screen a couple more seconds after each race.
What is the class, top sportsman? Too slow for pro mod. All nice cars though
That cougar was a gorgeous.
Used to race a 69 impala700 hp. Miss that rush.
700hp impressive

Grocery Getters for very Hungry Meat Eaters
Man, some beautiful cars
They are! Thanks for watching!
This were the most cool
👍
They sound great
I wish TH-cam would have a update like when you watch a video and you have to go some where and you get back home and get back on the video it saves where you stopped your video I want that to be the next new TH-cam update :D.
Stands must be packed...To have that many people on the starting line and furthermore next too the guard rail top
It was packed I had hard time finding empty space

For a layman, how can you tell if the track it 1/4 mile or 1/8 mile? What to look for?
In this video you can see two orange square blocks (aka cones) halfway down the track. The second block (cone) is the 1/8 mile (660ft) marker, the one before it is to calculate the speed between the two. Also the time it takes Pro Mod about 5.50 seconds in 1/4 mile (1320ft) versus about 3.50 seconds for the 1/8.

Some beautiful blowahs. Love them😘
The best music!
@@AutoMotoCha9L
Absolutely. Nothing better than the whinning sound of a blower🤟
3:36 I want that bel air funny car chassis in the game so bad
Dennis the Menace Corvette needs a new driver. That was the car I really wanted to see go down the track, asleep on the tree both times.
so..when do the fast cars run ? : o
The nymphomaniac girlfriends favourite foreplay,,,this channels noise! 👍🚗✨✨
Still is ✨
Is this top sportsman or pro modifide ?
Cars with prochargers are promods
I wish they wouldn't slam the doors, it's hard on the door jams🙄
That vett is far from a door slammer
Do you show the times?
Come to the 2021 pdra watch the worlds fastest doorslammers 3:48 seconds at half track 219 mph record
They shld have a east coast vs midwest doorslammers
It would be fun to see
@@AutoMotoCha9L i know somtn different im from east coast not far from 3 dragstips
Nothing but a bunch of Pro Mods...Just because they have doors...is irrelavant
The best racing is at the grove.
No doubt!
