Every other car/drag channel needs to take note of this video, this is how they should all be done....no intro, no voice overs, and most importantly no shitty music playing overtop of the sound of the cars. Well done.
Wow! Great video! My neighbor had an early Falcon gasser he drove on the street around 1965. He was nuts and would run around driving over stop signs until he punctured his oil pan at the end of our road. The trail of oil lead right to his parents' house. The cops got him. Those days were wild!
@@HotRodHoarder thanks for watching. I have in the past filmed nearly every category but that is a long day at SEGA with leaving storylines of the people on the cutting room floor. Decided to just focus on A/Gas this time and got to go in the pits and get the scoop. I didn't get to any last year with the CHOAS and NHRA schedule but I think this year I'll be able to get a few more in.
@@HotRodHoarder they certainly do! One of the best show in drag racing for sure. It was nice to have the time to get a corndog though. If you ever want to come to a CHAOS race let me know. There's some interesting cars and stories there as well.
We go and support SEGA at every track we can, they are a family until they get to the start line we love each of them and support all newbies to. Real old school racing with old school technology it's amazing
That Red thames panel wagon is beautiful I been in love with those for over 50 years I bought 2 models as a kid and built them along with my 33 willys still my favorite gassers
Me , My Son an Grandson Was at This Event at Brainerd Optimist Dragstrip in Ringgold Ga. an It Was Awesome Beings How I'd Rather Watch a Straight Shift Car Every Last One of Them Were Straight Shifts and it Was Awesome What a Sight To Behold ! My 5 Year Old Grandson Said Hay Pawpaw When We Going Back ! That Little Feller Loves Drag Raceing Now ! Lol l Love it When a Plan Comes Together ! 😉👍🏻
Gassers and Fuel Altereds, sometimes I wonder if they're drag racing or playing a high-speed game of "Who can get the closest to the wall without hitting! Love the back-up ladies that show up in the period correct short dresses and Go-Go boots! Outstanding!
I Shure happy to see the gassers are back I'm from San Antonio TX you don't see that down here I wish they did we don't even have a track anymore somebody help us damnit boy
Ive been thinking alot about building a period correct Oldsmobile powered Gasser, since the Olds 455 is my go to engine for the past 50+ years. I wonder if it would be within the spirt of the rules to build something like a 55 Olds gasser powered by a 425/455 combo with a 6-71 backed by a modern 4 speed dog box and a 9in out back? What i have in mind should be a solid 9.50s performer, and i doubt it would be very competitive but sure does sound fun!
Tommy how can I get more info/ pics on harriman dragway From 1956 to 1960?..I live in rockwood & building an similar Era drag racing t bucket...thanks for any help in advance??
Tommy , how can I get photos or info on harriman dragway from 1956- 1960....I live in rockwood tn & am building a drag inspired t bucket from that era..any & all help appreciated
It's a combination of things, but yes, the straight front axle is a little less forgiving than regular independent front suspension. The antiquated rear suspension design (no 4 links allowed), high center of gravity and big horsepower makes these cars ill handling. They were definitely on the ragged edge.
The Idea of the straight axle came about because when the early cars with independent front ends would launch, the nose came up and the steering geometry went out the door .If you think it loos wild now, imagine what it was like in something like a 56 chevy....
Brainerd track was hooking! Shew we were there and everyone was hooking some did wheel stands that had never done them and didn't have wheelie bars lol let's just say after that 1st race of the season they put them on, it was amazing
@@SaneCayneThey run under the 1967 IHRA rule book. They stick strictly to that era specific look and the parts that were available back then. There are a few safety exceptions but they are hidden very well. Anyway at that time most strips didn’t have timing lights or even a tree. I’m sure time slipsare available for drivers but as far as the show goes it’s just first to the line wins. Besides the cars aren’t that fast by today’s standards and they know it. That’s not the point. It’s all about the old school show.
@@Brownguy342 A lot of tracks had some form of e.t. boards by the late 60s. But I figured this series has gone the way of the N/T game because the competitive owners/drivers don't want each other knowing just how fast they're going. You say they're not fast, but there's some very solid 6 second (maybe even high 5s on a good pass?) players in the top half of the series. Anyhoo, e.t.s make the world go round for drag racing spectators. We can't tell MOV from the grandstands back on the starting line. So knowing the e.t.s is nearly half the fun of watching a series like this. Wish they would bring them back.
@@SaneCayne I get what you’re saying. That’s just why they do it. Not fast is relative. You could put these engines in a modern era drag car and they would be faster. Am I saying these cars are slow? Heck no! They are fast, barely under control, and extremely fun to watch.
@@MondayMorningRacer Well you make it The Rule and they have to go along with it. The fact remains that I Cannot Boast of SEGA Runs because I have No Numbers 🧐

AMEN to that. Well done is right!

Well said David 🤘
Gotta be the best video on RUclips to date! Nothing like high rpm and gear jammin action!!! Absolutely love it
Absolutely my favorite class. Nothing like a 10,000 rpm clutch dump and real speed shifts.
I see it like this, sometimes you just gotta let the big kids have fun.👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I could watch this all day! Great old school drag racing.
Wow that's a great video!!! Love the old Gasser's!!!! Thanks.👍😎
continually impressed how high these motors rev, sounding great thanks for the video
The Morris Minor was a mad device! 😎😎
Some really strong cars. Thank you for sharing! Amazing ❤️
💯👊👍

Damn what a story thats crazy left a trail to his house oil gave it away
Thanks for the video there is nothing better then gassers racing i lovè it
11:32 what a beautiful scene and sound
☀️ 🇺🇸 🚗 🔊
Awesome video and nice cars! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent camera work and editing, gorgeous cars and ladies -- fun to watch! (good save @ 10:59 -- kudos!)
I personally think Gassers are some get down to it badass racers.
It was a great season opener for SEGA! Happy to see the turnout for the track as well.
Loved your A/Gas video...looking forward to more of your coverage.

@@MondayMorningRacer very cool. SEGA runs a fast program, which doesn't allow for much down time. Always makes for a busy day.

Yes it was even with the early rain and freezing winds lol
This is absolutely the BEST drag videos. Color, clarity and no BS in between. GASSERS FOREVER! 🌙👀
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it.
Low gears and 4 speeds were made for 1/8th mile. The lower the gearing and higher the revs the better. Great video! 10 stars! THANKS FOR POSTING!
Hi everyone! What a beautiful track this is. Love the Gassers! All of them. Cheers from Motown.
Real car and driver drag racing 👍
The Gassers kick assers 👍🇺🇸
Just like a page from drag racing past. This is my I love gassers! Falcon & ranchero were great. Thanks for the video

How many revs? "All of 'em.."
Wow. That's how it's done. Redline? What redline? Great video, awesome races!!!
Gassers and Fuel Altereds, sometimes I wonder if they're drag racing or playing a high-speed game of "Who can get the closest to the wall without hitting!
Love the back-up ladies that show up in the period correct short dresses and Go-Go boots! Outstanding!
Makes me feel at least 55 years younger, I would still be old enough to drive.
The most beautifulest music in the world to my ears
I was there had a great time lots of cool cars!!
Man some of those cars wanted to jump in your lap and say Howdy!
THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome !
Old school,love it!

Great video love hearing screaming 👍
Straight axle bang shift true badass racing
I Shure happy to see the gassers are back I'm from San Antonio TX you don't see that down here I wish they did we don't even have a track anymore somebody help us damnit boy
Awesome Video !!! We were going to go and something came up at the last minute.
This is my home track. They are putting on some awesome events since Steven took over.

Love the idea...no computers or chips, H-pattern 4-speeds and, anything modern within the rules has to be hidden
Very cool thanks 😊
Oh man - look how sticky that track is.
I LOVE THEM MY REGARDS FROM GUATEMALA CENTRAL AMÉRICA I'M MANUEL.
GOOD ONE. THANX
🏁 👍 🏁
Always enjoyed this class , let’s just hope someone doesn’t ruin it with some kind of ev gasser class
We’re did all the Angila’s go? You hardly see them in gasser events
Tommy how can I get more info/ pics on harriman dragway From 1956 to 1960?..I live in rockwood & building an similar Era drag racing t bucket...thanks for any help in advance??
If that doesn't get your blood pumping then you need to watch curling.

Does the straight axle the cause of most of the cars going all over the track

The antiquated rear suspension design (no 4 links allowed), high center of gravity and big horsepower makes these cars ill handling. They were definitely on the ragged edge.

That white 63 fairlane turned his wheels to the right when he wheelied. No wonder the car went into the center cones
Top fuel is boring. Too much money there.
Love the gassers and altereds
Enjoyed the video, but next time show just a little bit more of the pretty ladies guiding the cars back.
The B.U.G.'s are awesome I told them they need a calendar lol
Hell yeh.
Rather watch these guys than ANY pro class.
Lets GOOOO🤘😎🤘
It is amazing the pistons aren't shooting up though the hood.
Great video! Show the BUGs next time, please.
No times !!! I wouldnt even take it off the trailer!!!
Ossum!!
Ya tire smoking gear jamming on race gas
Some of those girls trying to emulate Jungle Pam need a reality check.
SEGA FOREVER
Sega, turn your clocks ON!!!
Wa that '65 Cuda a 6 cylinder?

Why no visible ET's?
Sorry, can't put up with No Timeclock anymore. These Drivers and Cars deserve the Credit! 🤔
The series itself doesn't show the times. The drivers agree with that and compete in the series.
@@MondayMorningRacer Well you make it The Rule and they have to go along with it. The fact remains that I Cannot Boast of SEGA Runs because I have No Numbers 🧐
Drivers get their time slips. Drivers agree to no times posted, last year the championship race showed the times at Shelby NC
You can ask the drivers their times, we have a few drivers we are friends with and they don't care a bit to show you if you ask....
@@michellerickard7771 But the Viewer is told nothing. How can I boast about the Race if I don't know how fast they are going? 🤔
as a kid me leaving my high school parking lot every day
❤🇺🇲
Has anything changed since Quain sold the organization?
Doesn't get any cooler then a gasser
WooooooWhoooooo!!!!😎🛞💨🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁 Beach Boys "Shut Down" plays
The track needs to put up confederate flags also [>
?? Time slips??, ETs, MPH, RTs, will make your channel much more interesting for racers, thank you.
Southeast Gassers does not display times so there is nothing to show.

@@HotRodHoarder Thanks, B.I.R. is a much larger venue, part of Division 5.
