It's great to see these cars preserved in near original condition. I love the multi-carb engined cars if for no other reason, it took more effort to keep the carbs tuned (2 or 3) as opposed to just one. The sound and performance made the aggravation worth it. Anyone can stick slicks on a car and get traction, but it takes a master to get traction out of stock tires. In the old days, we had a guy who molded wider rubber (and softer) on a stock tire for stock looks but much better traction (the original "cheater slick"). We also took the chevy fuel injestion plenum, cut it appart, ported it, welded it back together and then bead blasted it for stock looks. Oops, I revealed one of my speed (cheater) secrets.
Great video, thanks for posting. There’s just not enough coverage of this great racing out there. Hope you’ll do it again in September for us out here in the west! lol
Some of them are nice restorations and others are nice restorations with suspension tweaks set up for the strip. Put some old shocks in front to transfer weight

RA4 aint a joke. got a RA3 myself to go in a 78 TA
You know how many guys dont believe firebirds ever cam with a 428.
Royal Pontiac etc. would put them in Firebirds - GTO's if you so desired > Royal Bobcat Pontiacs :)
Not down the assembly line but dealer installed
I don’t remember these cars going this fast back then
They seem to be about a second faster compared to the 'stock' versions back then. I'm sure these have been tweaked for top performance.
50 year evolution in tire technology will get ya a better ET
Camera guy 👍💯
NHRA or IHRA pure stock, ie quicker than what you came home from the dealer with . Beautiful sunny day with beautiful cars.
It is awesome to watch these old American Muscle Cars just saying
I grew up in the 60s a d 70s Ford put out very few street racers. GM had them by the dozen and Mopar.
Would have been nice if the ETs were posted, cant read the big board at the end of the track.
For 2021 it appears they did some work to the signs to make them more readable.
what engine did the blue 69 dart have? 383, 426, 440 ?
I think that was the first year for the 340.
