Guys that was awesome. It is not every day that we get to see history being re-created as it was back then. Thank you so much for taking us back in time.
Gotta admire the engineers whose automobiles are alive and strong after 100years
Excellent video! Today we've got access to unlimited information at our fingertips, but back then people had to figure things out for themselves. Lots of perseverance and trial and error went into building those early racers. What's even more impressive is just how far Alberta is from the early hotbeds of racing/hot rodding in the USA. They had to rely on their own ingenuity and determination to get things done. Thanks for keeping history alive!
A remarkable story from a remarkable time. The war which impacted everyone’s lives was over, there was hope for the future, if not a lot of money to be found. The massive postwar industrial boom was a couple of years away and people were trying to get back into a familiar way of life. Men who’d learned their trades, or honed their trades in the military had knowledge and enthusiasm, and turned tired cars which had only survived due to wartime shortages, into speed machines. The scrapping of war machines provided an unexpected bonus by way of parts and materials, especially lightweight seats as seen here!
Thank you, Matt and Jim, for sharing such wonderful videos. As a proud patron of the channel, I’m glad to be able to offer a wee bit of support. Cheers from Australia!
As a guy who races a Model A jalopy, I can attest to the fact that there's nothing like tossing old Henry steel around a dirt track! Love the episode!
How do I get in?
The look on Jim's face when number 19 nearly rolled off the axle lift !
Dear camneilsen
😱 It was definitely a scary and very dangerous moment!
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
A brown pants moment for sure . They didn't think to chock the front wheels after that though .
Yeah, I might have gone looking for a chock 🧀
The speedsters should all have a Strong's Garage logo on them somewhere!😎
How cool is the famous Canadian sign painter! Fantastic job on that car. ❤😮
* Great Episode Gents. Younger folks aren't big on tradition. Which is a shame. People should respect the history as it's what got us to where we're at. Your channel stands for tradition and that's why I love it. Great cars and great history. You gents are so lucky to be able to work doing the things you love and respect. The watch is so special. What a present ! 👊😎👍
Flames coming out of the exhaust is the coolest!
Alberta home to some of the best dinosaurs in the world and these model T racers fit right in modern auto racing owes a great debt of gratitude to the men who built and raced these awesome cars not only in Canada but worldwide great seeing them.
I'd love to see a teardown of Scott Newstead's old T motor to see what ails it.
This is so much more interesting than any Nascar race to Me. Seeing these fine machines get around this track is like watching history in motion. Very good content Guy's. This and CWM's are two of the best content creators on The Lube Tube. 👏👏👏👏👏 Keep up the great work.
Like hearing and watching history in action. So glad that somebody had the foresight and cared enough to preserve these amazing time capsules!
Great trio of old Ford race cars. The fact that they all share local history on the track makes it even more special. Watching the race itself was a hoot. Think it's great that Matt gets into wearing period hat, helmet, coveralls, even the wristwatch! Still hoping to see Jim's Mark II getting some work done in the garage before long.
I wish there was a way to give this a triple thumbs up! Great episode!
Seeing those double maple leaf red&white’s flapping in the wind was pretty kick-a$$ ! Who needs T.R.O.G when we have you guys lol that sprint case is sweet too, cant wait to see what else you have in score. Hey Scott@coldwarmotors, you neeeeeed to get working on the 5 $ roadster buddy.
That was awesome!!! As Matt said, as I was watching it I was thinking 'time tunnel' - - back to when men were men and women made sandwiches for them w/ a thermos of coffee.
What a great show this morning. Keep doing what your doing it’s fantastic
Racing history at its finest. Cheers lads 👍
Love this. The hand painted advertising really sets them off! Thank you guys for making these videos.
That was fantastic, fellas! Thanks so much for taking us to the races. More fun than anyone could imagine. Freedom at its height, before the regulators and outside money killed the fun.
Wonderful to see the T's out racing!!!
SUPER COOL to go back in time with the Model T racing.Thank You Jim & Matt CHEERS
That Power Wagon is looking great.
Thanks everyone for the great video 👍
Holy cow what a treat again model T racing epic look through time with authentic cars. Very cool to see 🎉❤😂
I love the exhaust manifold on number 18. whoops, 19
Absolutely OUTSTANDING! Send it to the Cannes Film Festival!
Great video Gents!
All of the history and wonderful cars always bring a smile to this old face. You guys are doing a superb job at keeping all of the automotive history in your area alive and well. My hats off to you. Thank you all for making these videos and sharing them with us.
I can't wait to see more of the next installment of Alberta racing history!
Absolutely 💯 loved 💖 this auto racing 🏁 heritage !!!!
Thank you for sharing it with us
Btw , thanks for helping Scott rebuilt his Model T & 37 Chevy
Fire-Breathing-Monster-Machines! That exhaust looks like an old German buzzbomb from the Blitz! 22:00
When I saw it belching fire, I thought "who's got the marshmallows?".
Auto racing history flashback to a more meaningful time when money was tight and drivers were loose.👀🇨🇦
Great episode!
Always glad to hear from y'all! The shop is looking great, too. Thanks for sharing!
Those old T's rock & the flames out of the exhaust on startup were just mesmerising, great job getting these old gals back where they belong 🎉 😎
#19's a fire breathing dragon!
Do Canadians throw anything away????? Unbelievable you can dig up those original cars. What a treat to see them.
WOW that #4 is awesome.
Awesome video! Man I would have loved to hear all 3 running at the same time sitting in front of the shop. Keep up the good work!
That was stinkin' fantastic! Great racers! Great race! That was fun! What's with that Stove Pipe exhaust? That was wild! 🤣 Thanks!
I thought 19 was going to head out the door by itself, lol.
Great video, guys.
Looks like a lot of work, and what a blast you're having.
We have pig and ford races during our county fair in Tillamook oregon using model T since 1925.
that Power Wagon is so cool!
Good seeing those old races cars
Wonderful and informative video. You two always come up with some interesting ways to present this information. Loved the race and seeing the cars. Can't wait to see how you present the next era of racing. Love to see that #4 car run.
Boy, does this look like fun.
Model T racing looks like a lot of fun! It's too bad I don't live on the prairies, I'd come and watch in person.
Well done what a blast to see them on the track again.
Again, thank you both! I've always loved cars but, because of an accident about twenty years ago I don't see well enough to drive. So being able to watch the restorations and the care you give to all of your projects is a real treat. Cheers!
Here some bonus points
Such an informative and action packed video, thank you guys. It gives me continued enthusiasm to develop my T dirt track racer which for all the world looks like that red one you introduced. Great seat of the pants stuff!
Love the bus
The Model Ts are cool, and so is that old Dodge Crew Cab Truck in the background! :>)
Dad's right , you need electric stert. at 20:11. Love the old race cars they look awesome.
Jim's getting his catdio !!@
Watch is a piece of history. Dated. Wow I loved that race. What a blast it would be to drive one of those cars.
I love the header on number 19 that's really high tech for the time
What a beautiful backdrop at that track... gorgeous !
More racing please !!!
I started my career as a Ford mechanic. Fix Or Repair Daily. And no I wasn't working on new model T's
Fantastic race footage! Thank you.
Wow! What a cool piece of history! That guy with the T, that had the split exhaust, must have really been 'hopped up'. I'm surprised those old cast crankshafts would even stand up to a few minutes of that! He was lapping just about everyone there. Fun stuff.. thanks guys!😄👍
so cool. real cars. real mechanics. real badasses
Matt, Jim, love the show.
I've said this before but you guys are living the dream.
I saw model T racing in Ohio and was thrilled by it. Great fun.
Enjoyed the video and keep up the great work.
Cheers from Wisconsin
Hey Jim, if you haven`t already, check out the new Chip Foose clip doing a mild restyling on a `56 Continental but don`t tell Scott, he`ll show up with the angle grinder and a stack of cutting wheels, hell in his eye and his hat on backwards.
Racing one of those cars must be enormous fun. 😊👍
19 looks like a pulse jet!
The best channel on the internet!
wonderful!
That was really cool. Thanks for sharing.
I like the exhaust pipe on the number 19 car, a stove pipe
So neat !!
I didn't expect those old Ts to get up to such good speed. Congrats!
Looking forward to learning about the sprint car AND the stock car😎👍🍺
That was pretty cool! Having fun racing T's.
Awesome!🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧
Glad you are having me back!😊
Awesome racing... looks like it was on top of the hills of Drumheller, I was born there.
That was the "Bee's Knees" of auto racing! Thank you for sharing it with us.I hope we get to see more Peter Anderson in Canada soon too.
I will be praying that you are able to get them all in the institution that I call your garage. That's priceless history and just a great thing to get to see you guys and your awesome 😎 garage have and showcase those priceless pieces of history and running them is the icing on the cake 🎂
Great video. I love the nut spacers on the radiator surround bolt, dancing away @ 16:43
Ol’ race cars are quite interesting. The rear jack is cool. Thanks for the race 👍
Another fantastic video and a trip back in time to the world of the T. Those racers were simple but looked like a lot of fun. Thanks for posting
Just beatiful!
A great presentation of early race cars, I'm your newest subscriber!
Great video, thanks guys for doing these!
This was simply awesome and exactly as you put it, a time machine. This looks like so much fun. Next time you race these beauties we need some POV footage. ❤
Dear Matt and Jim.
👍👌👏 Your shop becomes more fantastic with every video. Congratulations 🎉 The very special watch is a super rare and beautiful item. Congrats again. 2) Free hand painting and pinstriping is simply a fantastic kind of artwork paired with great craftsmanship (and a steady hand plus good eyes). 3) The model T races look like really great fun but also pretty dangerous for the drivers. Absolutely no protective gear at all. Not much brakes too (if any). Pretty scary if such a vehicle would roll over.
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and especially health to all involved people.
Can't wait for model t races in bruderhiem Sept 2 !!
If I get up there, I should bring my uncle's Dyke's Automotive Encyclopedia. It's from 1926 and has a full section on the Model T and on racing Model T's. - It even shows you how to make a wooden torpedo body for a T race car.
Randahl from Shed by the Tracks needs a sponsorship deal so he could go there and race his T
Thanks boys! more racing history please!
That looks like a fun race.👍👍👍
Great show guys!
Don't forget, a video on the Rotary Lift guys...I believe more comments increases your algorithm with YT.
Awesome video Need to look back how the racing car started way back when Thank you for the video
Sweet sounding racer thanks guys 😊
Great video guys! Check out Model T Pig races in Tillamook OR. I hear the event is a real squealer of an event. Oink oink.😂. The car has to be stopped as the driver jumps out and grabs the piggie.
This is so cool
The Model T races are incredible wow that's really cool must have been really cool back then thanks for inspirational video Scott will want one of those he needs to build a t-racer maybe it's like you don't have anything else to do is my favorite TH-cam channel between you and Cold War Motors Shed by the tracks
