You have to tow your own stuff on drag week. The only exception is if you have a chase car/ wife etc following you, they can bring fuel. I could be wrong about that, that might just be race week that allows that. But otherwise you have to move all your own parts and supplies with the car
Clearly people have different opinions on what a street car is. When some people think of a street car they think of a car you can take out on the weekends go to the movies with your girl maybe slap on that A.C. if it's hot stop by and grab some food and put your drinks in a cup holder. Drive this out here in LA make sure you call a buddy because you'll need a ride to the tow yard when the cops impound it for what seems to be a purpose built drag car. If not you'd definitely get pulled over pretty quick/consistently. I can drive a tank 1000 miles to the drag strip and blow everyone's car to pieces but that doesn't make it an all purpose street vehicle😂 Jokes aside no hate the car is insane if you think it's a "street" car hey that's on you like I said people clearly have different opinions on what a street car is.
These guys really engineered that monster motor. Oil cooling in the rocker covers, rocker changes between street and strip to reduce the valve spring torture any thing to ease the strain on the valve train. Probably bushed all the lifters even the wheels mounted on the fuel tank. Great to see some planning and common scene have a win rather than who can thrash hardest.. A well deserved win.
Yup. Attitude can actually change Reality. Mad pissed off road rangers Always get cut off , they think its the other drivers , but partly it is their attitude
I love how there are always these salty people in the comments who drive 13 second cars and are upset about a car that is street registered, car that runs 1000+ miles in 5 days, while completing 6 - 1/4 mile passes @ 5 different tracks and averaging a ~6.80 for the best 5 passes at the 5 tracks respectively, but "OH ITS NOT A STREET CAR" Shut up.
This is hands down my favorite video of yours, 1320. This guy is so humble and nice and MAN, WHAT A CAR! Awesome content and this guy deserved to win for sure!
Awesome new champ for this year Thx 1320 for your great coverage of Drag Week, they didn't come to my town this year so I really appreciate your hard work and great interviews with drivers and machines!
I the car has a VIN number, license plates, insurance, and all the necessary safety items (lights etc.) it's a street car. It doesn't matter what It looks like or what they do to prepare it for street driving. If these weren't "legal" streetcar's this event would not exist. The US is one of maybe a handful of countries that allow cars like these to be driven on the street. Most cops could care less and are really cool about it, so thank you law enforcement as well!
these kids these days think a car needs air conditioning and air bags to be a "streetcar" my first car was a 67 Chevy truck. a bench seat , 6cyl manual THAT'S IT! . just a body and a motor. the only difference in my old truck and this drag week car, is he has more hp, and a lot more safety equipment. long live dragweek, long live hotrods!
wally hikes in real racer eyes bieng able to drive it with out braking up from track to track thats a street car to them doesnt matter what n what it dont have for normal ppl to clasify it as a street car
Watching a man who loves what he's doing is a pure joy. Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life. I'm sure this is the same attitude he takes in his life. The kind of man that isn't trying to start a TH-cam channel or looking for prestige, and is racing because he loves what he's doing. Drag week could use a few more like him. After all isn't this about having fun? Because from what I saw he definatly was having a great time. Thanks for the ride along.
Sounded like by listening to the car on it's passes that was quoted slow and smooth, the car sounded like it could have used more gear for a higher top speed. Either some different gears in trans. for the last third of the track for a higher top-end charge on the finish line. Or a different trans. with another gear (meaning instead of a five-speed it might could use a sixth gear) that when the run is smooth without tire shake or having to lift for whatever reason, it could run on out for a higher top speed utilizing the smooth run for a lower ET.
Instead of complaining that it's not a street car why don't we enjoy the fact that we can register and drive stuff like this on the street with reasonable safety mandates. I mean this dude has to come from Canada to drive that car on the street. So if your complaining it means that you don't want to see events or cars like this on the street. I for one would be sad if we become so regulated we can't do stuff like this. And I do understand cars need to be safe but think about what this really means to be able to do this. It's freedom
i completely MISS the states and canada - here in Germany NOTHING is allowed - a simple drivers license is 3000 bucks no lie - here in Munich plus 6 months driving theory school - for a NORMAL car ....... a commercial truck is 12,000. your not allowed to put ANY after market parts on a car or in its engine etc the German car factorys OWN the government and had everything regulated out. yeah you DO see some OLDER stuff before they regulated it all out. and soon no gas or diesel cars allowed on the road - germany is mandating electric cars
@@nukarr German cars are more often than not the technological leaders in automotive industry. They’re based in Germany, they make it expensive to keep advancing. Move next door to Moscow lol
@@youtubesbichasspolicys5888 I love cars but I would prefer a 2nd amendment or equivalent rather than driving a pro mod on the street. It's a much more important right to have. A fast car isn't gonna keep your family safe or make it harder for the Gov't to do whatever they want. That's why I love my home, Texas, God bless it. Great gun laws and only the big city-counties have emissions testing, which I agree with because pollution will get out of hand in the big cities without it. Like LA now or especially 30 years ago.
We used to have a Canadian that came to Minnesota for the yearly car show at the state fair. It was a Corvette Funny Car. He'd place all of his tickets under the fake windshield wipers when he parked at Montgomery Ward's.
He is the nicest guy/racer's I've ever seen on all 1320 video.. so humble/ very friendly.. it makes the race fun like the old times.. its so great to watch till the end🙂👍🏽👍🏽
this car races at our local TMP CAYUGA dragway too- they are very nice and friendly to all of us-car looks mean as hell and runs everywhere it goes just great- CONGRATS FELLOW CANUCKS!
Wow who ever is the mechanic is a genius. Driving between races pulling a trailer. And wow super strait passes. Excellent driver and crew. Incredible dedication
My new favorite Canadian! I’d love to see you compete in Baytown Tx. at Raceway Park. Just 2 miles from where I usually just listen to what I wish I could afford to do for a living. I have no doubt you would leave with a smile. Thank you 1320 for making my passion easily accessible! I am overwhelmed with envy for what you do, and admire you’re dedication.
A reminder that power & speed is BUILT NOT BOUGHT!!! Glad to see a nitrous car win against what seams to be the norm these days! Everyone throwing an air pump onto their vehicle & I am glad to see that someone with the knowhow in engine building & flow dynamics won the whole event! Hard to beat a Chevrolet!!!!!!
Wow guy knows how to build a motor that's for sure he drives it to every race event the car still runs like a top wow unreal you deserve to win nice ride thumbs up
Great information on the car and what it takes to travel 1000 miles and race on 5 tracks with a 6 second car.....that's just crazy!!! I was at my first Drag race in 1964 and remember when Funny Cars were invented and were not as fast as Dave.... Thanks for your whole Drag Week Videos, I have watched all of them twice OK 3 times :-)
Dave is a real life badass in ever sense of the word. He races some of the fastest street cars in the world, that he builds! And he is chill as all get out.
no turbos......no blowers........just motorhead--ing it down the track....with a LITTLE spray some people have huge engines, a turbo or 4, AND SPRAY! and to the "this isnt a street car"....... no shit, its not PRACTICAL......but it drove 1500 miles between 5 different drag strips if i could afford the gas..... this would be my daily driver
8:02 i have a soft spot for 73 to 79/80 chevy fleetsides.....love the chrome on the sides i love my 77 chevy silveraudo, heavy half ton, short box with a 400 SB and a np203 full time 4 6200 pounds GVWR.....and does not get stuck with that full time 4 with limited slip front and rear MEAN machine, that old girl stock as the day she left the factory......but i am going to stick a SM465 4 speed and a np205 part time 4 in it id like to do a SM465/NP203 combo..... but i also would like to drive it more......and full time 4 uses a LOT of gas with that 400 small block and the 465/205 combo is IN-DESTRUCTIBLE gear driven everything
10 mpg..... thats about what my truck gets use to get 8.....when the "heat riser" flap in the passigner side exhaust pipe was stuck CLOSED picked up a lot of power and like 4 mpg when i zip cut that useless thing out......
kain hall he said it’s real 60s corvette which in my book earned respect ( not that orange copycat gm 60s Camero Bailey drives ) and he won this one by being different ( I have to wonder if some of the previous winners could beat him time 1/4 slip 6:05 ish ) As for a bigger size engine mopars came with 440ci displacements if you knew the right person at the factory/corporate offices I’ve even thought of using a stroker kit ( adding more than 200 ci ) on mine but I’m not sure how much it effects gas mileage
I would love to do this! Go from track to track taking videos of the races. Keep the videos coming, i always look forward to the next ones with high anticipation.
That's 'cause we Canucks have been drag racing almost as long as you 'Muricans and the fact that half of the muscle cars back then and today were and are built here in Canada 😎 Drag week is awesome. And so is 1320Video
The Organic Mechanic totally agree..I bought my first brand new muscle car straight from the factory a 1972 Dodge Challenger 318,cost me $3,400 cdn🇨🇦 dollars..dropped a 400-6pack & 727...been wrenching since then ..I'm still working as a heavy equipment diesel mechanic during the week and dragging on the weekend .. Got 2 Hummers and a jeep and yes still got my Challenger tucked away in the barn Cheers from ThunderBay,Ontario🇨🇦
Tommy 3v jajajaj jajajaj I did the math and that's like 14.5 litters men that's insane is like you saying that's like a dealership showroom worth of Hondas. 😂😂😂
I dunno. Registered & insured... Drove 1000 miles & broke down less than a lot of the slower cars. I mean... I wouldn't cruise it down the street to pick up a pizza, but I'm not sure how you could say it isn't a street car at that point.
That magnificent car , because any other word would not be enough for this Corvette Stingray , was so stable on most runs felt like a normal car was accelerating , just in fast forward , others are way more clumsy , way more jumpy , but not this one ! Beautiful car , consistent car and a helluva driver with great spirit !
14:19 it pisses me off so much when you guys cut it off and dont show the whole pass from the GoPro video, just from a fan prospective of 1320, i like to see the full pass from a few angles. awesome video though regardless
VEHICLE RULES FOR ALL CLASSES •The event is open to four-wheel vehicles of any year, make, or model, except where limited by individual class rules. Motorcycle-based vehicles are not allowed. •All entries must have current and legal vehicle registration and insurance with paperwork that matches the VIN and license plate on the car. No dealer or manufacturer plates are allowed. •No rental cars allowed. •Vehicles in competition must have functional headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, horn, and a rearview mirror. Headlights must be of OE-type design. •Equipment rules apply to both the street and track portions of the event. •All tire rules apply only on the drag strip and not for the street drive. •All entries are required to use purpose-built drag-race drive tires on the track, including slicks, DOT-approved slicks (examples: Mickey Thompson ET Street, Hoosier Quick Time D.O.T), or drag radials (examples: Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial, Hoosier D.O.T Drag Radial, BFG Drag Radial, Nitto NT05R). No conventional treaded street tires. •All vehicles must meet NHRA safety rules for the e.t. and speed they are capable of, and drivers must be IHRA or NHRA licensed if required. Drag Week officials will not accept time slips that are quicker or faster than the car or driver’s tech’d legal e.t. and mph. Running quicker than the safety equipment or driver’s race license allows is cause for disqualification at the discretion of the race director. •Swapping engines so that one is used for the dragstrip and another for the on-road drives is not allowed. One long-block is to be used for the entire competition, barring the need for impromptu repairs. •Beam breakers are not allowed. Beam breakers are defined as protrusions from the front of the vehicle that extend past the profile silhouette of the body. •Lettering or decals with letters more than 1-inch tall must be removed or covered if they are deemed by the race director to be offensive. •Lettering or logos greater than 6 inches tall on the side or front of the car are limited to a single sponsor, company, or name. We are trying to prevent Drag Week cars from looking like professionally sponsored race cars. Any retro lettering on Gasser class cars is allowed. •Vehicles in all classes other than Unlimited must be primarily fueled by gasoline, diesel, or E85 (“E85” includes similar ethanol blends available at local gas stations on the Drag Week route, or Rockett Brand E85 race fuel). •Vehicles may use supplemental methanol injection but may never have more than 2.5 gallons of methanol or a methanol/water mix on board. •In Naturally Aspirated classes, the engine may not use power adders of any kind. •In Power Adder classes, the engine must use a supercharger, turbocharger, nitrous oxide, or some combination thereof. •In Small-Block classes, engine displacement must be 430 ci and below, and the engine may not be a Mopar 426-based Hemi, a Chrysler early Hemi, a big-block Mopar, a big-block Chevy, a big-block Ford, or an FE Ford. •In Big-Block classes, engine displacement must be 431 ci and above. All Mopar 426-based Hemis, Chrysler early Hemis, big-block Mopars, big-block Chevys, big-block Fords, and FE Fords will run in Big-Block classes regardless of displacement. •Winners’ engines may be pumped to verify displacement. •It’s the responsibility of the racer to know and comply with the rules; passing tech inspection does not constitute a right to remain in competition if rules violations are discovered later. •Vehicles must compete in the lowest class in which they are eligible, not including Street Machine Eliminator. •Vehicles with rule variations may be classified at the race director’s discretion. •Entries that are disqualified from competition are not eligible for a refund of registration fees. UNLIMITED CATEGORY Unlimited is Drag Week’s most radical class and has no restrictions on modifications except for those listed in “Vehicle Rules For All Classes” above
Exactly, is this a car you are going to drive to work every day? No.. however, it just did 1000 miles!! And all those trips down the track. It is certainly more od a street car than any of those "street outlaws".
Good for the Canadiens got to see them win. Great video good job interviewing great coverage of the of the trip on the road and and the races keep up the good work
He does. Ontario gets no respect when it comes to street racing. He’s probably tip of the iceberg. Nice choice with the vette also. Rock n roll son!!!!
6 sec car. Street legal. Tows his own gear. Love it.
You have to tow your own stuff on drag week. The only exception is if you have a chase car/ wife etc following you, they can bring fuel. I could be wrong about that, that might just be race week that allows that. But otherwise you have to move all your own parts and supplies with the car
The scale of difficulty to make a car do this is off the charts, much respect, no need to get held up with semantics.
If his car can drive 1,000 miles in the summer heat and run mid-6's at over 210 mph, he deserves to call it a street car.
Sean C no
yes
😂
Agreed
Clearly people have different opinions on what a street car is. When some people think of a street car they think of a car you can take out on the weekends go to the movies with your girl maybe slap on that A.C. if it's hot stop by and grab some food and put your drinks in a cup holder.
Drive this out here in LA make sure you call a buddy because you'll need a ride to the tow yard when the cops impound it for what seems to be a purpose built drag car. If not you'd definitely get pulled over pretty quick/consistently.

William Wallace its not a street car
Most people's 13 second Hondas couldnt complete drag week.
Lol y it gotta be a Honda need I remind u of k24 swapped 72mm turbo civics that an do this lol
The valve spring oiling system is awesome. Epic car.

Thx 1320 for your great coverage of Drag Week, they didn't come to my town this year so I really appreciate your hard work and great interviews with drivers and machines!

As for a bigger size engine mopars came with 440ci displacements if you knew the right person at the factory/corporate offices I’ve even thought of using a stroker kit ( adding more than 200 ci ) on mine but I’m not sure how much it effects gas mileage
The best part aboutdrag week is these cars proving they drive on the road to each event.
10 mpg and in the 6s my work truck gets 10 mpg and probably high teens.lol.Thats it,I need a bottle fed work Vette.
Yes, you do. So do we all.
Do a collage of the most chill people that you've ever encountered that would be a major inspiring video
They should make a TV series out of Drag Week !!!
Not only did these guys build the most badass racecar, they are the NICEST guys you would ever meet.
That classic Vette is awesome racing it and drive it Coast to Coast 👍👍👍👍👍
I would love to do this! Go from track to track taking videos of the races. Keep the videos coming, i always look forward to the next ones with high anticipation.
This thing is a fucking monster. beautiful car and it's got the numbers to back it up.
This car is a work of art. Such a great dude too. Someone get this man some tapered roller bearings for the front end tho
That's 'cause we Canucks have been drag racing almost as long as you 'Muricans and the fact that half of the muscle cars back then and today were and are built here in Canada 😎
Drag week is awesome. And so is 1320Video
The Organic Mechanic totally agree..I bought my first brand new muscle car straight from the factory a 1972 Dodge Challenger 318,cost me $3,400 cdn🇨🇦 dollars..dropped a 400-6pack & 727...been wrenching since then ..I'm still working as a heavy equipment diesel mechanic during the week and dragging on the weekend ..
Got 2 Hummers and a jeep and yes still got my Challenger tucked away in the barn
Cheers from ThunderBay,Ontario🇨🇦

Organic Mechanic Bull shit
Awesome, Cheers from Whitby, Ont.
Wow just seems like the old days.. nice humble guy, fast car and loads of fun. Nice job guys...
OMG, 872ci and he was getting 10mpg on the highway? I've seen E70 X5 4.4L with lower MPG on the display at my dealership;-)
Incredibly modest guy, acts like a true Canadian.
for cars 1974 and older in America don't need smog. Therefor, this old corvette is absolutely legal haters
What haters?
He sure can drive. What a great sportsman and competitor.

I did the math and that's like 14.5 litters men that's insane is like you saying that's like a dealership showroom worth of Hondas. 😂😂😂
Tommy 3v oooot
i love this corvette, i love the paint job and the intake sticking out the bonnet paired to the 14.3L V8.
I dunno. Registered & insured... Drove 1000 miles & broke down less than a lot of the slower cars. I mean... I wouldn't cruise it down the street to pick up a pizza, but I'm not sure how you could say it isn't a street car at that point.
why not just walk for the pizza. i mean, its just down the street 🤪
Lol! Id DEFINITELY go pick up a pizza in this!
That magnificent car , because any other word would not be enough for this Corvette Stingray , was so stable on most runs felt like a normal car was accelerating , just in fast forward , others are way more clumsy , way more jumpy , but not this one ! Beautiful car , consistent car and a helluva driver with great spirit !
Nice enough feller. Course he's Canadian
We are nice!
He thrashes them politely.
Congrats Dave n John unbelievably smoke n 66 Vette! A true everyday drivers hot rod !
6.75 second 1/4
*”thought I forgot the nitrous”*
Canadian’s are so nice. This is wholesome.
BEER !
14:19 it pisses me off so much when you guys cut it off and dont show the whole pass from the GoPro video, just from a fan prospective of 1320, i like to see the full pass from a few angles. awesome video though regardless
The winner was a very patient guy, who probably in hindsight loves the fact you were filming him!
that thing is NASTY fast.
How can anyone not put a Like mash on this Vid.....
Class Act 100%
Great Coverage and Commentary.
i wanted to hear him play that guitar, if he plays like hes builds and drives, i bet its good.

Wow! Just saw this video. What a great trip and WIN! Awesome job Dave!
*HEEELLL YEEEEAAHH BROTHER*
This car is crazy as is, but just imagine If it did have a turbo. It would be terrifying
People are getting confused with daily car and steer car
I think it's more people getting confused with 'dragsters' and street cars.
VEHICLE RULES FOR ALL CLASSES
•The event is open to four-wheel vehicles of any year, make, or model, except where limited by individual class
rules. Motorcycle-based vehicles are not allowed.
•All entries must have current and legal vehicle registration and insurance with paperwork that matches the
VIN and license plate on the car. No dealer or manufacturer plates are allowed.
•No rental cars allowed.
•Vehicles in competition must have functional headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, horn, and a
rearview mirror. Headlights must be of OE-type design.
•Equipment rules apply to both the street and track portions of the event.
•All tire rules apply only on the drag strip and not for the street drive.
•All entries are required to use purpose-built drag-race drive tires on the track, including slicks, DOT-approved
slicks (examples: Mickey Thompson ET Street, Hoosier Quick Time D.O.T), or drag radials (examples: Mickey
Thompson ET Street Radial, Hoosier D.O.T Drag Radial, BFG Drag Radial, Nitto NT05R). No conventional
treaded street tires.
•All vehicles must meet NHRA safety rules for the e.t. and speed they are capable of, and drivers must be
IHRA or NHRA licensed if required. Drag Week officials will not accept time slips that are quicker or faster than
the car or driver’s tech’d legal e.t. and mph. Running quicker than the safety equipment or driver’s race license
allows is cause for disqualification at the discretion of the race director.
•Swapping engines so that one is used for the dragstrip and another for the on-road drives is not allowed. One
long-block is to be used for the entire competition, barring the need for impromptu repairs.
•Beam breakers are not allowed. Beam breakers are defined as protrusions from the front of the vehicle that
extend past the profile silhouette of the body.
•Lettering or decals with letters more than 1-inch tall must be removed or covered if they are deemed by the
race director to be offensive.
•Lettering or logos greater than 6 inches tall on the side or front of the car are limited to a single sponsor,
company, or name. We are trying to prevent Drag Week cars from looking like professionally sponsored race
cars. Any retro lettering on Gasser class cars is allowed.
•Vehicles in all classes other than Unlimited must be primarily fueled by gasoline, diesel, or E85 (“E85”
includes similar ethanol blends available at local gas stations on the Drag Week route, or Rockett Brand E85
race fuel).
•Vehicles may use supplemental methanol injection but may never have more than 2.5 gallons of methanol or
a methanol/water mix on board.
•In Naturally Aspirated classes, the engine may not use power adders of any kind.
•In Power Adder classes, the engine must use a supercharger, turbocharger, nitrous oxide, or some
combination thereof.
•In Small-Block classes, engine displacement must be 430 ci and below, and the engine may not be a Mopar
426-based Hemi, a Chrysler early Hemi, a big-block Mopar, a big-block Chevy, a big-block Ford, or an FE
Ford.
•In Big-Block classes, engine displacement must be 431 ci and above. All Mopar 426-based Hemis, Chrysler
early Hemis, big-block Mopars, big-block Chevys, big-block Fords, and FE Fords will run in Big-Block classes
regardless of displacement.
•Winners’ engines may be pumped to verify displacement.
•It’s the responsibility of the racer to know and comply with the rules; passing tech inspection does not
constitute a right to remain in competition if rules violations are discovered later.
•Vehicles must compete in the lowest class in which they are eligible, not including Street Machine Eliminator.
•Vehicles with rule variations may be classified at the race director’s discretion.
•Entries that are disqualified from competition are not eligible for a refund of registration fees.
UNLIMITED CATEGORY
Unlimited is Drag Week’s most radical class and has no restrictions on modifications except for those listed in
“Vehicle Rules For All Classes” above
Exactly, is this a car you are going to drive to work every day? No.. however, it just did 1000 miles!! And all those trips down the track. It is certainly more od a street car than any of those "street outlaws".
Good for the Canadiens got to see them win. Great video good job interviewing great coverage of the of the trip on the road and and the races keep up the good work
14.2 letter engine..... I want one
Derek Anderson 14.29 to be exact lol otherwise known as fucking huge ...
I must say 1320 has come a long way too. Great job thanks you.
is it just me or does this guy seem like cooler version of Richard branson
That motor is really happy and the guy is really happy that event made me really happy happy happy happy LOL
Badass car and owner. Congrats.
steveww07 (
Thanks for putting up the awards ceremony clip!
did that track guy just taste the fluid on the track to make sure it was water? 11:36
Whats the matter, you never tasted oils, antifreeze, brakefluids? Never ate lunch with dirty hands under a car, at night? You've never lived.
Better safe than having a fire
Another rad story from you guys and a well deserved victory for those 2 guys.
My man looks like Michael Mcdonald
Reid Smith fr
Nah Kenny Rogers
Reid Smith michael mcdonald or kenny rogers couldnt afford one of them things.
He does. Ontario gets no respect when it comes to street racing. He’s probably tip of the iceberg. Nice choice with the vette also. Rock n roll son!!!!
A slim Santa, just add gin blossom nose and rosy cheeks.
Wow!! That engine is freaking huge! Thats wild
