- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- After I finished up at Sick Week in South Georgia, I was invited to check out a track in Northern Georgia just south of Chattanooga TN to discuss putting together an event later this season.
Plates & 28’s at Edgewater was a huge success… and the track owner at Brainerd Motorsports Park took notice.
Should I put together a drag & drive event with a street car shootout?
Well, if I’m going to do it… I need to get a feel for the area and check out some check points!
Plus, once I got home I picked up the Biscayne from @discodeanskarns !
Bill it was a pleasure meeting and talking to you sir! Thank you and thank you for the shout out, sir. It really means a lot to me. Kevin the Blind Luck Mechanic. 13:56
Hey was in the middle of watching Billy work on this carburetor and raise his son I paused that video to come here and congratulate you on being a successful father. This is what success looks like from one dad/gear head to another.
Thank you. ❤
@theoldmansgarage Hey Bill, what song is the one playing at 26:28?
Just when I thought the old man couldn't get any cooler, He's hanging out cutting up with the locals and even giving them rides in the Malibu!! What class act! I hope I get to meet you one of these days in this old pickup I'm building!! Way to bring some of the good old days to today's streetcar scene!👏🏼👏🏼
Bill I do believe you have out done yourself on this video, the music, the entertainment, the company you kept and most of to see miss Vicki look at you tells me she definitely loves the old man. God bless and as always be safe.
The world needs more people like you.
Dude! Vicki is so Awesome. I appreciate her so much. This Birthday package meant the world to me Bill. And those Chewy Chocolate Carmel Bars are absolute 🔥 You gotta Good One Old Man. Sure thankful and appreciative of Her. 😎🤙🇺🇲
Happy Birthday brother!!! 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎂
I sure hope you had a good day buddy! I sure am loving these extra bonus video’s from ‘Ol Bill every couple days right now, it’s the best entertainment on the
innerweb in 2025 by far!!
Take care out there buddy, be safe, and have a great getting older weekend!! Finish it off tomorrow evening with the game of the year and I’ll pray your favorite team pulls good enough shenanigans to get em the
“Big W”!! Good luck my friend!!
Happy birthday buddy
Oh yay!!! I was hoping it would arrive today for your birthday!!! Enjoy!! 🎉
Done had fun day
sweet video omg
I’m blown away! You’ve got a real talent for this.
Bill, you were 10 to 15 minutes away from Chickamauga GA. Where the battle of Chickamauga battle was with a larger park you drive through they do reenactments and there's a museum there also. There is lots of little cool place around north Ga and Chattanooga to see.
CHICKAMAUGA has also been taken over by the METH and FENTANYL junkies, LAB'S are everywhere across the county of WALKER 😔
Best part about this is can set on my back porch and listen to this track every weekend. I cut my teeth at BMP. Steven is doing great things for this facility.
Hey Bill! Just a fantastic video. Right up my ally. Your platform just makes you want to watch. Thanks so much sir. Being an 80 year old man that still loves drag racing enjoyed the content ever so much. Keep up the great work 😃😃❤️
For me, the content and racing are awesome, but why I really stay here is how amazing he is with the fans. All of you guys are great to the fans, and I love that. I hate to see ppl reach a certain echelon and then start to forget the ppl who supported them to get their. Love you guys, and I will always watch your videos.
Bill, thanks for showing Chattanooga that’s awesome. I too am a big history buff specially with the civil war.
Man Bill your content just keeps uppin the bar every time I love it have watched every one more than once thanks for everything you do for the car and racing community and just being a awesome man
Dean’s description of drag n drive was perfect, I love hearing people’s opinions of dnd when they do their 1st one… and I love the sections that are pretty much music video quality…. Appreciate your hard work Bill!
One of the best channel's on RUclips. Looking forward to the next one Bill!
This is the first give away on any channel ive seen that I would keep forever instead of selling it off. Love the channel!
What a great video! Your camera skills are outstanding! Really enjoyed this video so much!
Sir this was my favorite episode of all.I was raised in the North Georgia South Tennessee area not 30 miles from Chattanooga. I started out in Rossville Georgia and then Chickamauga Georgia. So growing up down South was the best.Thankyou for Sharing it.Very Beautiful
Thanks for cruising to Chattanooga and checking us out! Best folks in the world live round here! Gods country for sure... Come see us now... ya hear?!
Calm down there Jimbo, You know we are infested with METH LAB'S AND FENTANYL junkies!! I DON'T THINK THOSE ARE THE BEST FOLKS IN THE WORLD 🤔👍🇺🇸
That 73 Torino was awesome!!
Bill this is awesome it’s my home track even though I live in Hixson Tennessee,it’s right outside Chattanooga ,I can’t wait for you guys to come there because I’ve not had the chance to travel up north to where you are and it would be awesome to meet u all so keep us posted ✌️
I’ll be there too if they have an event, I’m in Cleveland, but my father raced at Brainerd for years back in the day until they swapped to 1/8 mile
Same. Pumped for this event
I wasnt able to make it down this time. But thank you for showing our local track some love. Steven and Amy have put alot of time and money into the track these past couple of years. I hope you come back and bring the whole family with you.
It was so great to finally get to meet you in person at Brainerd Motorsports Park last Sunday. Thanks for signing my OMG hat. I guess I’ll have to retire that one now and buy another one. lol. Bill you’re a super nice man. I loved you taking those youngsters for a ride in your Malibu. They’ll never forget that ! I can’t wait for you to come back and do something here in my hometown. Awesome video as usual and I can’t wait to win that Biscayne ! It’ll look nice beside my 1970 Impala.
I love how you take the time to get them B-roll shots. It really makes the video something to watch! 👏🏽
Appreciate the ride Bill! Can’t wait till yall come back down!
Bill better watch the "drag & drive" label. Someone has the trademark now.. 😂 don't even wanna mention his name
Man I couldn’t believe I got to see you down here! I’m so glad you liked it man this is incredible
your a blessed man. best damn channel on youtube. you relate with us old people. reminds me of illinois in the 1960s to 1990s . A lost time thats now city and more city.
Hey Bill it warms my heart seeing you and Miss Vicky going to Cracker Barrel one of my wife's favorite places also she's just like Vicky always picking up something from Cracker Barrel we just watched the video and she said they got great prices LOL love you guys❤
My hometown! There's definitely a reason why Chattanooga, TN was voted the most beautiful city in America at one point!!
I found you, Gen 2 Garage, and Jess AKA Miss midnight maverick all because of sick week and have been happily binge watching all the content from the past year on all the channels! Happy to be aboard and cannot wait to see what the road ahead brings!
Thank you!
Bill thanks for another great video! The old track definitely has some character to it. You definitely had a great time with the local crowd and they certainly appreciated your company. Some great sightseeing in that area of the country. Thanks again for sharing your adventures with us
Bill, this has to be one of the best videos you have posted! The coverage of your travels was very enjoyable. Thank you! Oh, the music is such a compliment to the video you have put out . Please, please, no jungle music! This is Ohio, not the Hood. The smile on the Mrs was priceless. I'm glad you had a memorable holiday.
Bill I'm surprised that you never been to BMP Brainerd, This Content is Appreciated from 1 of your oldest Subscribers
Thanx for sharing your Great Work and Content
It was Great that they invited you to be part of the BMP Experience
Miss Mrs Vicky's Smiles and Great Content
Have a Safe Trip Home
God Bless You and your Family 🙏
God Bless America 🇺🇸 🙏 🇺🇸
Wow. You showed us a very lighter side of yourself in the last video. But this one was spectacular! Seeing you not so serious and reclusive and very outgoing in this video was AWESOME Bill! As a fan I, can tell you how much just few moments with you means to us. Love this side of you man. Cant wait for the next video. P..S. I also wanted to mention how great you are at editing your content and the music is spot on ea time. By far my favorite channel any where on any platform. You really deserve your own TV show Bill, with the qualities you possess. As always keep it up!
Can’t wait to see what all you do to the Biscayne! My Dad had a 64 Biscayne and it had 3 buttons one for the fan one for the temp the other worked the defrost and floor heat.😂 but it was the best riding car I ever rode in! I can’t wait to enter up for a chance at this one! Thanks for the great content Bill!
Thanks so much for taking us along ! !
Billiam, another fine video, I've been a subscriber to OMG since the very first upload, the quality of your story line, photography, narration, and subject matter has improved 100% and are second to none, digging the Biscayne project, a blast from my childhood , Grandpa had one of these I was 9 when he bought it new and drove it into the ground in Chicago. Keep up the good work Young Man!
I love those old outlaw tracks. It's awesome that you have the opportunity to use your influence to help these tracks out. Thank you for helping these tracks out
Man Mr. Bill you have been putting in some work with all this editing. You've definitely found your calling in life for sure. I wish I would take the time to learn some of this. Can't wait for the next one.
Another killer video. I live about 45 minutes from Brainerd dragstrip. It's been there forever plus a week or two. Very nice of you to drop in and check it out. I hope you can do an event here. If my junk is ready ill be there for sure. If you get a chance come back and take a ride around the area. It will ge easy to find a good drag and drive route. This whole area is a huge Civil War park. Thanks again!
I want to thank you so much for you supporting Brainerd drag strip. My family owned lots of land on the same road and family has raced there for as long as I can remember. I grew up there and at the historic Boyd speedway that was at the other end of Scruggs road. Unfortunately it is now being demolished. I’m sure you seen. It was the oldest dirt oval in the state of Georgia that will soon be more town homes instead 😢 In my teen years I raced motorcross at Chattanooga Mx which was next to the dirt track. We have lost so much of our Motorsports in our area having you shed light on our local track gives me hope for it!! The Farrows are great people and have really done a lot to improve and keep the heritage of our track alive! Sorry I missed you being here but if an event happens and you come back through I will be there!! I run a 94 mustang cause it has a ford mota in it!!! Thanks again!!
Thank you for letting us ride along with you and your family with kind of a birds-eye view of your life with racing
Really appreciate the videos Bill. Aside from the lodging issues looks like you still had a good time at sick week. And potentially have a lot of great things to come. Glad everything is going great for you and the boys. Your family dynamic is awesome and great to watch. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
I was born 03-25-1983. I just love this channel him and his sons channel are absolutely amazing and I can't wait till they come out you were one hell of a man Mr Bill I love you and everything you stand for
Bill you always got your wheels polished to perfection!! My hats off to you!
Really enjoyed the sick week trip cool little drag strip the scenery in Chattanooga, Tennessee breathtaking. Very cool you let Dean and his wife cruise the Biscayne. Great drag and drive car love y’all.
AWESOME !!! My wife and I plan on drag and drives for retirement we live 2 hours from SGMP you sure have inspired us and gave us some great knowledge 👍keep doing what your doing Bill 💪🙏
Best video ever Bill !!! Thanks for taking us along with you on your journey
You are the man Bill. I agree with many of the viewers the world need more people like yourself. PS I have a buddy with a 68 Biscayne very cool cars
You know I've watched every video you've put out Bill, and they keep getting better and better, and I think this is the best one yet, and you did it flying solo ! As I've said before, you guys and gals are livin' the dream man !!! And it's really cool you put the Cracker Barrel thing behind and took Vickie for her potroast ! I hope they still had some ? She's such a sweetheart !!
Another awesome video brother Bill! Can’t wait to see the next one. And I’m most definitely ready to buy some merch and try to win the “banana boat!”
HELL YEAH..My home Track and about have mine ready to run

and have fun out there.
Always makes my day to see a video bill thankyou
Bill you have the best automotive RUclips channel. I hope you do an event at the Chattanooga track.
This may be one of my favorite videos. The Chattanooga content was great. All about meeting people.
Cut my teeth in drag racing there back in 1999. A LOT of good memories there!!
I also built a few houses up on Lookout Mountain. Glad you got to see one of the coolest places in the South.
Another great video Bill. I especially enjoyed the time you got to talk with Dean. He and his wife seem like such down to earth people. Thanks again for sharing with us “couch” racers!!!
Bill you are a genuine guy. Love watching your videos. Definitely one of, if not my favorite channel on RUclips!!! Just good vibes all around!!!
I love your channel man. It's more than just the cars. Y'all are so blessed. Amen and enjoy what God is doing for y'all 🙏🏾
Your video editing is out of this world I really enjoy the content. I really appreciate you bringing us along your journeys it is so awesome to watch. y’all are a really great family
Brainerd is an awesome track. I took my mom there for her birthday a few years back to see the gassers. She had a blast.
That place is a very beautiful place to see and learn the history. I have been there many times.
When 42 ran the other way, I rented that house across from the starting line. Used to sit on the roof and consume oat sodas with my friends.
Bill, im telling you. That track BRINGS A CROWD! been there many times.
Bill you having too much fun! laughing meeting new people seeing new places and racing! Great watching!
Absolutely brilliant bill love your vids ..Jamie from 🏴🏴
Bill that’s my home track. I live just N of Chattanooga!! Definitely would be there if you did a drag and drive in my backyard!!!
That was a really fun video to watch, several times I found myself laughing out loud with you. One of the parts I enjoyed was watching the interaction between you and your fans and the other people that were at the track that day. 😁😎
Bill, appreciate the videos buddy. Chattanooga is definitely a cool place! I got to experience it with my oldest daughter 7-8yrs ago when I moved her to Nc for her Air Force duty station. We made Chattanooga a stop and really enjoyed it. Wish I would’ve researched it a little more and known the civil war monument was up there! Looking forward to Biscayne content.
I like how you slipped in "I got a nitrous kit coming" right at the end... lol! Good one... nice! Can't wait to see it... nice sleeper looking 68!
Hell yeah Bill you were at my home track it's a good track I'd love to see you back here hosting a event glad you enjoyed being here
Thanks again for another great video 😊 should had him tint the windows when he had the car
So freakin awesome , Ol stinky pinky is a favorite of mine . Glad to see him and Mrs Disco having fun . I can’t believe you and Billy end up with 2 giant impalas haha . Great video and just keep having fun … one day I’ll be driving my pro street Elco .
DAMN OLD Man the Drone footage is Crazy Good i don't know how U do it
Hell of a video bill movie quality from a phone just blows me away keep it up your killing it old man .
Bill i just wanted to say thank you for your awesome videos and your families channels are by far my favorite on RUclips
I was in the very same place memoiral weekend last year!! Awesome place Bill. I for one would certainly encourage you do an event in this area but would make the 6 hour drive to take part. Great video man!!
Awesome video! Glad you liked our home track. I live 5 min from BMP and hope to see you there in the future.
Thanks Bill for sharing your stop at BMP. It brought back memories from a pass that we had back in the late 70's. we had a 64 Vette a civil war theme with a union and confederate soldier by the rear window. Due to me forgetting to unhook the wheelie bars the week before at Commerce we did .not notice that it bent the mounts. I hooked them up and they would not adjust. we ere goin to load up and go home but the previous owner was there and said he would drive it for us. Side note we had worked months getting this car to hook. he agreed just to just burp the tires. When he went around the water and burped the tires the front tires come up about 2 feet. we should have called it off But. The tree came down and the car stood on the back bumper. The fans went crazy and we went home with a broke drag car. Back then they broadcast the race on AM radio. We listened on the way home that night and they talked about the Vette standing straight up.
Bill I have to say this is one of the best videos ever that you have put out and you put out a bunch of great ones love of man keep up the great work God bless and be safe
You couldn't have been in a cooler place for a single day drag and drive! I went to high school in northern GA and there is no other area where you will find the hospitality any better!
Great video, great drone shots and great music and editing. This old man loves Old man's garage.
Chattanooga! My home town. I couldn’t get to BMP. But I have raced there many times. Love the content!
Lots of cool history in that little store on the way up the mountain you stopped in! Love visiting Chattanooga
Every gear heads dream vacation. Family, friends and drag racing..😊
I watched kye run a 4.01 there and he pedaled the car twice, Ole shocker did run dam good, great place with big shade trees
Thanks Bill awesome video 🤘always look forward.to.your.content,great job editing this video too 👍
I LOVE EVERY VIDEO YOU PUT OUT, Y'ALL ARE GREAT
Let's freaking go 💯 i like how you put drag and drive 🏁 i know its a big ordeal 🤔 about using the drag an drive name 🇺🇲🔥🇺🇲
It's so awesome to you and your family doing so good even though y'all were already famous thank so much keep doing what you do
Just when I thought your videos couldn’t get any better…you go ahead kick it up a couple notches!
One of your best videos yet. Awesome content, video quality and great music. THANKS!
You passed right by Paradise drag strip in Calhoun, Ga. Maybe you could incorporate that in the drag and drive. Open since 1961 and hasn't changed a bit. 🏁
Cool of Garrett to put you in that video he knew what he was doing. I can’t wait to see how much Billy gains from being in the AWD vs RWD deal he’s putting on. Can’t wait!
I loved this video. Totally entertaining!
Bill, I am always checking everyday for that next awesome video! We love the channel!
I'm beyond happy y'all finally came to my part of the states and hometown I've been waiting years for this
Best video of the year man!
If you do a drag n drive event in the Chattanooga area I'm 1000% in. I have a ton of pictures of my late mother at lookout mountain and would love to bring the race car im building in her memory down there!
