Bonneville Speed Week 2024 with the 7707 LSR Team
The 7707 Land Speed Racing Team has had a long road to get to Bonneville Speed Week. For the last 4 years just making a pass down the famous salt flat has been a challenge. this included 2 years of travel restrictions, you see Geoff Stilwell is a Brit as is his team and due to travel restriction post 2020 he couldn't even travel to the country, then the last 2 year weather made it nearly impossible to run the full 5 mile course. But this year, the excuses were over, and Geoff ran a best 277MPH, setting a record and personal best. But the journey isn't over and the goal is to elapse the 300MPH barrier.

Pasadena Roadster Club Annual Reliability Run
Просмотров 7553 месяца назад
Pasadena, a ritzy town north east of Los Angeles, was home to some of the earliest hot rod clubs including the Night Flyers and the Velociteers. In October 1945, the Flyers and the Velociteers joined forces to form the Pasadena Roadster Club and worked hard to counter the bad rap that hot rodders got. One of their main activities was their annual Reliability Run that started in 1947. We tagged ...

March Meet 2024

The March Meet attracts some 500 racers and despite some inclement weather this year, they put on a fantastic race between showers thanks to the SO-CAL Speed Shop-sponsored track crew who worked tirelessly to keep the track dry and safe. It may not be 1964 when the March Meet attracted more than 100 Top Fuel entries alone but the nitro fields included 13 Top Fuel dragsters, 23 Funny Cars and 10...

The forecast for the 74th O’Reilly Auto Parts Grand National Roadster Show presented by Meguiar’s was for an exceptional show, the weather forecast was equally exceptional calling for epic rain during move-in and move-out.

We are relative newbies. Our Editor in chief has only started going to Bonneville in 1975 but we don’t ever remember a string of bad luck such as we have endured over the past five years. However, despite another year of rain, many racers braved the conditions and thanks to the SCTA-BNI and their amazing team of volunteers were able to pull off the event. TorqTalk tagged along to observe the te...

Torq Talks Tony Thacker recently wrote a piece for Hot Rod Magazine about a ’34 coupe being built at Troy Ladd’s Hollywood Hot Rods in Burbank, California. The tin was being hammered by Marcio Luz who moved to the US from Curetiva, the hot rod capitol of Brazil. Who knew Brazil even had a hot rod capitol and who knew there was even a Brazilian Kustom Kulture beyond the ‘house of wax.’ There is,...

Awesome!! Beautiful vehicle!! Thank you. Roji
More Bonneville action!! ruclips.net/video/sWmih6AFbPw/видео.htmlsi=LgGjF3eURiHWQgyZ
Is that the old Chauvin Emmons car???
@@user-yk8li1kh8u No, this was a totally new build. The car Geoff bought and set the original record on was found to be unsafe and outdated so the crew at Mick’s Paint built this new car.
Is that Harry’s old car?

Awesome video, thanks so much. Ron
Man - no traction! Great fun.
Watch out for the Speed Demon!
We were there, fun days.
Nice vidéo, congratulations on your runs 👍 That Gran-Torino at the begining ❤
Awesome. Absolutely amazing. Love the driving in the flat plane. Looked like something from a dream.
a tenth of the biosphere is lost every 6 blocks of cruising
Nice runs!
How is the car doing? I want to run blown nitro again! Love it. What are the cars besy MPH at El Mirage and Bonneville? thanks
Salt is better than dirt
What a beautiful stretch of winding road to enjoy Shelby's creations!
Do you have to run those liberal tire's.
Awsome
I remember him but I never seem him in person
Luv-it! Thanx for sharing! Cheers!
Excellent
no radiator?
Bakersfield Natasha Rock a track.
Put wings on em they'll fly❤❤😊😊😊😊
Nice collection
FLATHEADS FORDS 💙 FOREVER 😊
I love that sound more please
Nothing like the smell sound and feel of a altered, and it's got nitro too. Nice job on the really good sounds thank you very much.
A real mad man new about him in 60s 70s or verry brave
those frontmotor oldies are freakin awesome🤩
I LOVE THE SMELL OF NITRO IN THE MORNING
Great video, grew up with these altered in 60s, awesome rods and so fast and unpredictable
I watched Pure Hell do it’s first test run at Fremont Drag Strip In 1970.195 mph in a 1/4 mile,Very impressive
There's Rich at the end.
I have heard of him doing this, I never seen it til this viedeo... it did not disappoint !
Awesome video 📹 thanks 👍👍
Enjoyed!!!!! 🤜🤛
Great To See Rich Back In The Saddle....
Didn’t I see him in a wheelchair in the group picture?
@@mike19640 Yes....Rich is recovering from back surgery....
@@robertmeadows2432 oh I see. I met him in 2008 at a Googuys car show in Des Moines Iowa. He was following the show and driving his Duece coupe. I think he said Colorado was the next stop. Nice guy and I wish him a quick recovery.
I'm not referring to real altereds like Wild Willies car....hell Garlits' had a wing mounted on top of his engine at the 63/64 Winternationals...I'm talking about keeping cars looking period correct and you can do that and still make them safe ....look at the difference between Gauscos Pure Hell and the witch doctor. You can also start with getting rid of the computers and throttle stops and doing Winged Express style burnouts like Mike Boyd did, a real showman and crowd pleaser....R.I.P Mike
A fuel altered is not simply a funny car chassis with a roadster body. Pure Hell is a fuel altered.
The only real fuel altered out there
I agree 100% with your comment and the fellow that replied first. AA/FA cars were big in @ Tucson Dragway and Beeline Dragway in what's now Paradise Valley. Cars Like Pure Hell, Pure Heaven, Dave Hough's Nanook, Yellow Submarine and, of course, The Famous "Wild Willie Borsch" in the "Winged Express." Many others as well. To me, when it came time for the "Fuel Altered Nationals" at Tucson Dragway Me and a whole bunch of my Gear Head buddies would always make it to those meets. They were so wild and unpredictable that it seemed like 2000 H/P Mechanized Brahma Bull Riding! Especially when the last few rounds took place after sunset. Header flames and cars with sooo much torque that they seemed to want to go any way but straight. My best friend Tom was a Drag Racer through and through. His Bible was the weekly "Drag News". Tom's been gone for a few years now but, I always wished (with some regrets) that we didn't make a "Buddy Road Trip" to Bakersfield Ca. for the March Meet at Famoso. That would have made for some Epic memories! Thanks for uploading this very cool video.
Love the video!
I agree!!
Awesome thanks for sharing 👍
Can smell the Meth
Looks like the weather reports kept the fans away.
Yeah, it was on and off but the die hards didn't let a little wet keep them from the action
I only see a few true period correct nostalgia fuel altereds without wings and my hats off to them.....the rest are nothing but funny cars without the bodies. It's a shame that more emphasis isn't on keeping with the period correct theme instead of just being posers....
It’s called safety my friend.
Yes indeed . I actually get bummed when I see anything other than rear - distributer hemi's for power in these .
Ummm, The Winged Express?
That was awesome! Fuel Altered's forever!
Yes it was!
Thank you!!
Welcome!
No way Joe you got to go 😭
They run 1/4 mile
Yes, the full 1320
