Great video, brought back a lot of great memories of ‘60’s & ‘70’s drag racing, which was the BEST era of drag racing! I really enjoyed watching this one.
i know im asking randomly but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Devin Dakota Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
4 A.M. and cant sleep , I ended up here and damn what an awesome movie . Great video work and the cars are so bitchin . I was born in 1962 so I grew up seeing cars like these at the drags at a young age . It is what made me a car guy now . I currently am running a 1964 dodge station wagon with a 440 , it is street legal but not really a street car . I love the idea of a stick in it , but I am not one to stay period correct, I would go jerico or something modern vs the old sticks . I have driven cars with factory stick transmissions and lots of autos with trans brakes etc , and even lenco transmissions . The most fun was the factory 4 speed cars with slicks and some lower rear gears , they were a blast to drive even if they were not the quickest of what I have driven . The quickest was a tube chassis car with a glide and brake and it went 8.90's at 150+ but was actually so boring because it went perfectly straight , did not lift the tires at all , and shifter by itself , i didn't even have to steer it was so perfectly set up . I preferred my old bracket cars that would lift the wheels and you had to shift them . Keep up the great work and congrats to all the car owners in the videos , they are awesome cars !
@@nitrovideoo I was always down in the drivers pit helping my boyfriend with his 67 GTO. He won alot of trophies and money with that beast. I lived on Flint Hill Church road, just in back of the strip. It's great that it's evolved into a major race track in the south.
Ran a "56 Vette in NHRA B/mp in '68 at Englishtown NJ. 283cuin, ram quads, 327 fuely heads P&P'd and milled for 13:1 cr. Vertex mag, 5:14 gears, Muncie 4spd. 8500rpm hole shots on 7" slicks (Bmp). Absolutely a blast, I just loved those hi-revin small blocks. At 76 I drive '14 Z51 stigray 7 spd . I'd honestly thought that this type of racing was gone for good. Nice to see that it still lives on.
Now that was a show! There are some beautiful cars in this video. I’m 58 now, but I remember my father takin me to Capital Raceway in the late 60’s & early 70’s and seeing gassers. Ahh the golden age of drag racing. 🤙✌️🤘🤙✌️🤘
David Johnston Maybe you remember a B altered Blue VW called the Mori Bros. Chev Wagon? They ran the Maryland tracks up until they sold it in 1972? 40 years later bought it back. Restored it back to the way it was, and now at 80 years old, racing again
I would say it's burnt piston rings on that side, engine oil is leaking in too the cylinder's. That or maybe the head gasket is leaking oil on to the hot engine block making it smoke like it is. Thanks for asking
Im only 46 but since I was a kid building glue together model cars I always liked building gassers. Like the more screwed up a car looks for a single purpose , it fascinated me. Wheelbase altered is kickass too. I tried to be a little funny there , probably didnt work.
This is 1/8th mile but it is meant to be as old-school racing before ET mattered. First to the finish line won. When the 50s and 60s street racing there were no scoreboards at the set finish line. Thanks for asking bud.
Some great old skool heads up drag racing. Glad you like the video clip Brian. I have hours of this type of racing on the YT channel and mush more will be posted.
Now that's my style like that Corvette winding that thing up tighttt most guys are shifting about two Grand before they should be ex 56 Chevy Gasser racer 427
Suddenly, I want to be friends...with everyone of those who own those cars!...hahahah....I WISH!!.. they had that group around here!!!.. Just like the old days!...Love it!..
I'm 56, love the drags..never had one of my own. My youngest is 13, I'm gonna get me another shop..we are gonna build a crazy ass gasser... It aint gonna be pretty, just loud and fast😁
nitroartvideo.com it’s kinda like the 60s and 70s pro stocks but in a 1/8 of a mile has to be naturally aspirated can have fiberglass nose doors and deck lid I’m gonna build a car for it at some point
This is the very best kinda drag racing! BUT, I PREFER 1/4 MILE! I'd rather see this than AA/Top fuel dragsters of Funny cars. I could watch this and 60s & 70s Super Stockers ALL DAY LONG! 😎👍👍👍
The E.T. and Speed for both lanes seem to be inop. Are they using The Force or some other kind of mental telepathy to let the competitors know this information?
@@nitrovideoo - I'll be darned. I was paying so much attention to the cars, I just didn't notice. That raises a different question. Those "W's" look kinda Jerry-rigged. Wouldn't it just be easier to use the signs that are in place... or are we returning to Flagmen (women), too? If all this sounds kinda ignorant, I'm a west-coaster, and these cars are suitably awesome, but the events are just run differently than I'm used to. Thank you.
There not showing ETs because way back when there was no real timing system at most small town tracks in the country. There is a big (W) in each lane at the finish line that lights up showing the winner
That's just the way it was done back in the day, first one to trip the beam moved on to the next round. This is real drag racing where times are irrelevant.
What's considered a gasser? Like what does a car have to have or do to be considered one? Very curious, I'm 24, always seen them and heard that name but never really knew what the definition was
Back in the day most rods were built at home or in private garages...Not much for safety though. It wouldn't take much for a car to go thru or over the concrete battier into the crowd.
There as original as possible to the old-style pre-1967 cars and parts from back then. They're all motor and real stick shift cars also. Thanks for commenting Jon
Don't ever build a 58 Chevy only 55 56 57 sedan with the post. Mine was a 56 Chevy 427 fuel injected straight axle centerline's 513 gears Dana rollbar fiberglass front end 600 horse and you've got to have either the four or five speed Lenco you've got to launch that thing about 85 to 9 grand Rocky Esterline I owned helter-skelter if you've heard of it Oceanside Escondido California

@@rockyeasterline348 The '58 was definitely a style changer for sure. I think most of the car mfg. started doing that about '57 or '58.

I can spot a '55 and '56 Ford only from the front by the shape of the turn signals in the gríll but the '52-'54 have me stymied. Starting in 1957 you can see the difference from 10 miles away.

@@BackSeatHump it's not only did the 58 have that look hundreds of other cars have that same look I would have made the 55 56 57 maybe a couple inches smaller all the way around I do like the 66 and 67 Chevy II body also I had one with a 454 neutral balanced the car ran 1080s because I couldn't find that 427 LOL if I build another car which I plan some gay it will be a 32 Deuce Coupe 5 window 572 cubic inch Chevy probably with two 1150 strip dominators on top it will be street legal possibly running nines What I'm happy with 10:20 e t or so that fine if I could find a Chevy with that body style I think they make one close but would be really hard to find because I am a 100% All American Chevy person LOL my 56 was called Helter Skelter everyone knew it from Orange County to San Diego I was only running around 11:01 it was in Car Craft magazine 1979 and hot rod 1980 no big write-up
Well this class of cars are attempting to reproduce what racing was like pre clocks being at most smaller tracks. All classes are Pre 1967 cars and first one to the finish is the winner all heads up, no bracket crap, no power adders all motor and stick shift only. Thanks for watching Donald.
Great video, brought back a lot of great memories of ‘60’s & ‘70’s drag racing, which was the BEST era of drag racing! I really enjoyed watching this one.
Glad you enjoyed it
Dad and I went to the drags just about every weekend. Great memories!
Thanks for this video I can show my son how REAL DRAG RACERS DRIVE! AWESOME GASSERS!
Thank you, Katie and thanks for being a sub.
This here's a mighty fine video you done went and made, nitroart.
It was fun recording them also, Thanks Backseat
@@nitrovideoo I bet it was fun. Wish I could have been there! 😊

So glad you liked the video and thank you for commenting
This is so awesome. I'm sick of electronic everything, computers, Trans brakes, automatic trans. Shuffle them gears!!!
Yes theirs no real skill needed to drive other than hold on and some can not even do that very well.
Yeah me too...get out there and race!!!
You know back in my day ppl take out parents or gramps car and go hot rodding around , even modifying it and keeping quiet about it ..
Good camera position capturing all the important action & fun.
Thanks I like being at about the 330 foot mark. Get all the wheels up action and way less people in the way LOL Thanks for commenting.

The shifts are so violent, I'm watching the chassis flex and suspension dance on some of these cars ....it's awesome.

That's a fact.

Is this a 1/8 or 1/4 of a mile? For me it seem´s to fast for a 1/4 mile...

@@nitrovideoo it's just raw and basic man and machine , like back in the day
Why does the right bank of the black car with the red and white stripe smoke so bad?
I would say it's burnt piston rings on that side, engine oil is leaking in too the cylinder's. That or maybe the head gasket is leaking oil on to the hot engine block making it smoke like it is. Thanks for asking
Gassers Rock, I don’t care who you are...
Im only 46 but since I was a kid building glue together model cars I always liked building gassers.

I did the same thing as a kid, even added straws under the cars to jack them up even higher LOL I'm 64 now
Where is their ET and Top speed? Is this 1/4 or 1/8?

I always enjoyed the gassers and the altereds
Same with me, but i dont get to video very many altereds where I'm living now. Did some when i lived in Texas
I agree but the altereds looked unsafe and able to fall to pieces or blow apart in a good power-shift.
Luv the Ladies and Luv the Wheels Up
Nothing but cool old skool action.
So cool no nonsense cmputers / Rev limiters etc
All classes are all MOTOR also pure carbonator tuned LOL

Why some cars runnin solo ?
Odd number of cars in the round.
Some passes are testing and shake downs runs, I video the full day of racing action on the track.
S'watcha call a byrun. If thirteen cars are gonna' run well you can see they ain't no way all of 'em can be paired up.
Odd number will affect the ladder for paired runs.
Running truck nuts @6:50? Illegal at our track.
Whats illegal, not sure what your trying to say?
some pretty sweet cars lol.
There about as true to the era as it gets, the newest model is 1967 and older

Don't worry about the 58s, those and the 59s were such terrible rust-buckets compared to the earlier cars not as many survived. :)

@@BackSeatHump it's not only did the 58 have that look hundreds of other cars have that same look I would have made the 55 56 57 maybe a couple inches smaller all the way around I do like the 66 and 67 Chevy II body also I had one with a 454 neutral balanced the car ran 1080s because I couldn't find that 427 LOL if I build another car which I plan some gay it will be a 32 Deuce Coupe 5 window 572 cubic inch Chevy probably with two 1150 strip dominators on top it will be street legal possibly running nines What I'm happy with 10:20 e t or so that fine if I could find a Chevy with that body style I think they make one close but would be really hard to find because I am a 100% All American Chevy person LOL my 56 was called Helter Skelter everyone knew it from Orange County to San Diego I was only running around 11:01 it was in Car Craft magazine 1979 and hot rod 1980 no big write-up
Let's see some TIMES !!!
Well this class of cars are attempting to reproduce what racing was like pre clocks being at most smaller tracks. All classes are Pre 1967 cars and first one to the finish is the winner all heads up, no bracket crap, no power adders all motor and stick shift only. Thanks for watching Donald.
great racing but is it 1/4 mile,,i couldn't imagine racing anything less,,
It's 1/8th mile, first to the finish line wins
Me too this is real Drag Racing cars was simple
Yes real racing car and driver, no electronics and all carburetor tuning.
That white Anglia panel is something else!! And I hate Anglias lol.
I like them, no weight to speak of and all motor and rear-end LOL
1/4 mile please
1976 bronx this is quick 8s 1/8 of a mile drag racing
You go run something that high in the air with a solid front axle at 160mph and tell me how safe you feel... 1/8th is fine for these classics.
Most smaller tracks in the southeast US are 1/8th mile tracks.
Old skool in 2020 is fast for these cars on the 1/8 mile, Thanks for being a sub. Lee you are correct also.
The safety equipment is limited also, there as close to 60s era as parts will allow.
Cool!
Glad you like the video Eric
No good due to not showing the E.T.s
Look over the track at the 1/8th mile there is a BIG (W) for each lane that will light up showing the winning car.
