"Old man" I'm gonna stand behind you no matter where you go. You take pride in family, your religion, and racing. Those are the things I have been taught to stand behind down south.
@@theoldmansgarage hey ol' man, you ever listen to Rabbits 🐇 used cars 🚗? Y'all both make me smile and takes me back to the shit I got into before my accident...đã wõõķìëë in Silver Valley NC....if I'm ever able to again, I'd definitely love to see y'all race and maybe shake your hand 👊...until we meet brother...
True I'm from Alabama and he is one of us.. I've been out of street racing for 6 years now but I still love cars and the people who build them this man has alot of knowledge up there about cars please share with the world
I'm 63 and your channel is a breath of fresh air. I'm still racing at Summit Motorsports park, have been since 1975. Currently building a 57 210 similar to your 55. Keep on truckin.
Billy and Tigger you have a great father, I lost my dad a year ago today, you all have a great channel and is a inspiration to a lot of people.My dad stock car raced and I wish I would of listen to the things he tried to teach me. Cherish the things you’re dad is teaching you.
Hey Bill, all will be good. Your son (son's) have grown into being their own men and needs to find there own way at present. Once they have done that bit and realise you are not competing with him them, all will evolve into an awesome team.. have faith brother.
I could not agree more!! that is one of the things that has made me a die hard fan and thats your values the way you have raised those boys is something so much of this world needs.thank you for that sir.
story tellers never run out of stories imo...ie: they got the gift of gab...do what your good at as long as its honest ...stoke the fire and never quit
These videos bring a sense of peace and originality to the world right now. I really look forward to your videos Old Man. Great family and blessed to have the opportunity to have you share everything with all of us friends and supporters. God Bless from Middletown Ohio.
I don't think people realize how smart our dads are. We all get smarter as we age but it just something about our fathers and their experience in life.
My pops about the same age as the ole man the amount of things i learned from him and still dont know half of what he knows .that 60s 70s generation they know
From one "Ole Man" to another, never let your dreams become fantasy! One is attainable, one is not. There are plenty of fans to go around, no house is strong without a good foundation and some of our best things came out of American "Garage"!
I'm hearing you say that you envision building a digital version of HotRod magazine from the 60's and 70's... Count me in! Just please don't let your show get commercialized, that's what drove many of us oldtimers away from HotRod and what turns me off with the digital offerings online today... Look at Motortrend and Powernation for what NOT to do.
@@theoldmansgarage hey Bill, not fer nothin', but I watch anything drag racing and I still have my piles of HOTROD mag dated up til last year when I got Motortrend...I've been a fan of Gray, Dave F., Mike F., Lucky, Tony and all the rest at HOTROD and CARCRAFT...I'm 85% bed ridden and I have to take what I can get...SRC n SRCG are now part of my favorite "garage" shows...thanks for your sharing of your life and family, especially June and Chevy...
@@theoldmansgarage thanks bro, been since '03...some months are really tough what's frustrating is that some mornings I can get up and feel great just go to stretch and have such pain that brings you to your knees(those aren't original parts either)...then it's back to bed and 25' foot "hikes" to the w/c...up until about 3 years I still used to go to the libraries local to me...then there was the racing...The Rock, Zmax, and a little country style strip that we could hear from my brothers front porch out near Mocksville N.C. I miss live music 🎶...I used to ride my '03 Ultra out to wherever there was good local bands...Currie Clayton is one of my favorites and I met him up north even though he was from down here...my bike AND my truck haven't been tagged in three years...I have a neurologist down here that thinks that he can do some good...trying not to get too stressed about it, but the last three doctors got my hopes up and then let me down...
I think he's left a big gap in content that you can fill up, a bunch on the table for you guys to co exist! Maybe some initial boundaries will help everything for the long run!!
One suggestion be careful talking about not being home and out of town , there are a lot of scum bags out there who might watch your channel and see a opening. Your channel is awesome, have a great day.
Being 72 years old; I'm kinda old school too. I was impressed as hell with that guys car in Owensboro 572 two fours and let it eat! No power adders that gets me fired up.
I love the whole hearted grassroots racing and the father son relationship! I used to work with my Dad and things got hard for us. But we still have an amazing relationship! I personally don't care where the channel goes, I will be seriously upset if it stops, but I just want you and your family to be happy. Period
Take Take Take? Man, if you only had a clue what you and your family GIVE to all of us. I'm almost 40 now, and I never had a father, and I lost my mother when I was a very young man. I for example do feel a bit lonely in life, and I miss having a close family like I used to. I know I probably won't ever have it again, but to see the way you and your family love each other, and work so hard to make your passions work is just inspiring, and hits me in a damn soft spot. I try to get all my car friends into the channels and I am always ranting about "How they are the coolest family on youtube" or "the coolest family in racing" and in my heart of hearts I believe that is true. As far as Billys single upload a week... it sucks for me as a fan lol. I understand him though, because I am sure it can be a bit overwhelming to work, have young love, racing cars, and vlogging/editing at the same time. You guys as a whole are the farthest thing from culture vultures.
I love the channel. I was Billy at one point working hand-in-hand with my father and I was a little stubborn thought I knew more. And unfortunately the older I got the more I realized my old man was right I’m now 40 years old and my dad‘s in his mid-60s not saying he was right 100% of the time but he was damn right 95% of the time Billy will come around it may not be right now but in time
My life has been a shit show hear lately, and yours and Billy’s videos and just drag racing in general is the only way I’ve found that I can escape my reality and relax. Keep your faith and keep workin, you can make it happen.
I know you call yourself the Ole man I’m 10 years older and I think you should do some racing as I’m in to it big time have always loved old cars since my dad sold them in the 60s and 70s love your story’s and those two love hounds you carry with you everywhere they are funny till I meet you keep up the story’s and the tech thanks
I own a small family owned and operated mechanic shop. The struggle is real but I find similarities with my life and your channel. I think you guys have the best channel hands down. I look forward to every video.
Pop's, you are a damn good father,don't ever think any different. Keep your hopes up. I love your videos, I'm not young and not old but 48. I'm from old school thinking and not so much new age stuff. Keep it coming. I ask only one thing, make shirt's and ball Caps with your American flag logo. I love it.
Also want to say I love every story but I enjoy watching you and now that I understand how and why the channel came about I really can appreciate the whole deal I mean I have always loved the channel but this week I have went through almost every video and the 1 where you explained why u started the channel and you did talk about some times you were not proud of. The truth is I came up about the same way and racing saved me as well, I am not as big as you guys heck I only have a 10 sec truck that I do bracket race in Maryland but, It did save my life and I wish my dad was half as bright as you were to see where this were going I had help from a the gut next door I will leave out his name he has pass since but he pulled my from the gutter and I had to work for it but I now understand why he sent me this route and I am greatful for it
We will be right behind you. Make it more than a channel,make it a lifestyle. Hopefully the kids will join you on the trip because it would be great for all of you. Possibly open their eyes to what's possible.
The reason you guys have so many followers and success is because you and your family are genuine people that shows the care and appreciation through your videos, and your daily life encounters whether they are caught on camera or not. It’s rare to find people like you and your family. Though I can’t speak for everyone, I however greatly appreciate what you guys do and watch all of yours and Billy’s videos. Thank you for the entertainment and great content.
I understand how you feel. I am almost your age and my son is 27 married,with and daughter now. When they grow up we are not priority anymore and it’s normal. That doesn’t make it suck any less. He is all about ls and turbo and I am old school small block, carb, and nitrous. I love your channel and look forward to what you have coming.
I'm a young man and I watch your channel every night. I enjoy your sons channel and I respect how fast both your boys trucks are. I like them old skool. Smelly, big cam, big carb, lots of gear.. before I got deep into racing dirt sprint cars I was a HUGE street racer and I was making 9 second 1/4 mile passes on the street back in 2008-2009. Street racing around here died so I had to move on but I still cruise my car everywhere. I love your channel and content keep it coming!
Old man nothing old school about you but that 55 screens something else DONT EVER STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING OR WHO YOU ARE FANTASTIC AND HUMBLE I KNOW OF NO OTHER CHANNEL THAT IS. CAPABLE OF YOUR HUMBLENESS YOU THANK THOSE AROUND YOU SO FREEKING GREAT
Imagine waking up at 3 am to get the day started, and this pops up. So I had my coffee with you, and I'll get started soon. You take me back to the days when, yes, it was illegal to race on the streets, but not nearly as bad as it is now. I'm old now, and can't get out there and race anymore, but I still love it. And you're providing smiles for us, to remember old friends and cars we had. I think you could put out episodes about how much the grass grew this past weekend. You're a real guy, with the experience that it takes to be a leader in the industry. So go lead. You take your channel wherever you want it to go, and we'll be here waiting for the next one...
dont let your sons lack of drive hold you back form achieving great things with your channel. i love what you do and believe you can really make something out of this and in my opinion they can help or take a back seat if you start taking their "customers" with views or merchandise. its the boys choice dont let it hinder what you can achieve
There is absolutely no problem you might be looking into it too deep All of your channels together with merchandise do great Your son is a smart innovative man who is in with The Times hes gonna succeed no matter what!
Sorry again I don't comment and have not much ever but in my eyes you have earned it old man you set you your sons up ,You have raised your family and from what you said the way you set out too you have help Billy with that truck not taking from him he is awasome and he is way younger than myself but not to ramble on you but in the time you also have another s10 for Tommy and have earned your spot from young guys and old and I pray these guys step up and let you know I wish my dad was half the man you are sir
One old man to another(I'm 60), there is plenty of stuff for all of you. And it's all good! BTW, you get down to Texas, you will have to come by my shop. Building acouple of old Fords I think you would enjoy. Later!
I don't know anyone else on here you are living my dream,I am 67 yrs old an a disabled combat yet.i was in involove in drag racing started in 1969,I have ran modified elim.,super stock elim.had my own machine shop twice in different states.What you do for me in let my experience thing i yeared over the years again .And it feels good.You keep Billys feet to the fire because I know,you only have once to do it.I couldn't do it with my son because he has MS an is bed fast. So keep up the good work you do I enjoy the culure,PS you ain't no vulure
Go for it I will definitely watch! I met you and your family at English Mountain Dragway. Super nice people!! I’m a Ford guy but I will always support FAMILY!! Because that is what life is all about!! You put the good LORD first and it will all work out!! Best of luck to you and your family!!!
I’m 37 and I can tell you the knowledge to the sport and the cars is absolutely great and helpful your videos are the only ones I can watch all the way through with out skipping ahead keep up the great work god bless you and the family
Just wanted to let you know your for sure giving back and doing what you said you wanted to to. It’s greatly appreciated. Been watching you awhile now and am going back and watching the old videos. Thank you!!!
Yes, ur correct, ive been in this game since i was 14, im 50 now, lol, from a fathers view point ur 100% correct on ur views, wish my 2 boys would take interest, im still wrenching, even after a bad crash in my outlaw car in 2009, told i would never walk again, but im walking, no pain meds, u guys and what ur doing keeps me positive to keep moving forward, i do miss racing, i would race tomorrow if my wife would let me, but i made a promise to her, so i live through u guys, street racing, no prep, so thank u guys.
Hey Mr. Billy "Old Man"! I've been watching on your sons channels alot, and now I'm watching yours as well. Life is too short, i understand everyone need to get along and wish them the best of all times. My dad and I get along, we have some ups and downs like everyone does, but I'm glad he give an advice of what not and what to do. Im 37 years old, never to old to learn and you're gonna learn everyday till time is up. I understand what you're say, Mr. Old man, and I wish you the best and your family as well. Don't take it hard, just keep moving forward, and enjoy it while you're at it. If you ever come down in Louisiana, I would like to meet ya. Have a safe trip and go get them tiger! God bless yall!
Its gotta be real and you've gotta be feeling it in your soul. It's the only way it works. Billy and you have earned the right to do what's right. Great content
That dog maybe crazy, but it loves the hell out of all of you. She is such a sweetheart and if I'm right she maybe a little spoiled also. Great channel, videos and great guys you have there. You are right it takes more than one person to do what you want to do and alot of time. Take it one step at a time.
At some stage in the future I would like to see the ol man outlay some coin and start his own project. Don’t get me wrong I love what you are doin (can’t fault it) if the opportunity arises I’d love to see you build a car possibly another s10. Of course I understand that money doesn’t grow on trees. But this would be exciting. All in good time.
Which ever way your channel goes I will keep watching. Enjoy the family time with your boys. You are a good man and you always give of your time to other racers. Just make sure you take time for yourself. Hi June Pup.
Love your channel love everything about you guys I love seeing how your family sticks together when it comes to racing and anything else me and my son have father-son time sitting down watching you and your son do y'all's thing and I street race too my son's interested in it and now he really wants to do it from me and him sitting down watching you guys thanks for what you're doing keep up the good work.
Just sayin that in January and February there are still tracks open in Florida Texas, and California. I love what you're doin. I've been a big drag racing fan forever, and have built a couple of cars. Now I'm finally building my truck, and am using a lot of the info I've learned from you to make it as fast as I possibly can. I thank you for every bit of knowledge that you have given out. I am working on getting videos to put up on my channel to lay out the build, and if nothing else give people the chance to watch me screw things up, and learn what not to do.
I just love how real you are. You tell it how it is and what it is with no bullshit. Above all else genuine. I love your channel sir because of what you give to us people watching it. You get a little but of everything and thatd including Billy's channel. Thanks for these 👍
Gotta come up to Alberta, Canada. The drag racing scene here is bred into almost every family and in a place where we are forced with limitation via tracks constantly closing, weather, our dollar value, getting parts. We have to work twice as hard as some of yall down south in the us.
This video right here.... This explains why I fell in love with this channel. Hard working people.... That's how we get from nothing to something. This country desperately needs more men with work ethic. More men with overalls and tools and less man buns and mocha lattes'
Don't worry pops, mine are just a few years older than yours now and almost as fast as their gone they come back to us but in a different way. Their lives may be much different than ours but the love and respect that they show as they get a little older and the work ethic/drive kicks in and its beautiful to watch. And very satisfying knowing that we did a good job. Love your channel and look forward to seeing a new video every day. But take a break every once in awhile and enjoy with miss Vicky.
I think its a great idea. Go chase it. I think giving the real deal street racers some light is awesome. Show the public what some of these people do for a living to have a little fun. Lots of cool people to interview. Heck can run over to a few smaller shops/performance industries and show people what the company does and makes.
Hi my name is Artie and I’ve just started watching and subscribed to your channel. I’m up here on Long Island NY and I’m a retired. Aircraft mechanic. When I was a youngster in the 60’s we all had cars like you are driving now. We had 57, 55 chevys and fords that we always worked on and you and I are old school in fact I’m probably older than dirt but still love the old cars like your driving. They mean so much to me. I had a 68 mustang brand new but Vietnam came along and when I returned marriage and kids and dogs. Came along and the mustang had to go.I hated that but what are you gonna do. Keep that 55 going it sounds great and I miss it. Even Long Islands drag strips are long gone. well thanks for listening I’ll get back to the video think your done at the bank. This pandemic is driving me nuts thanks for your channel. I busted my ass my whole life and now we’re living through this. Anyway stay safe and well 😊🏁🇺🇸 your in central Ohio my daughter and grand kids live in Loveland Ohio. Long story if we ever meet I’d need days to get through it. I know what your talking about
Its a pleasure you and your kids take us a long in your everyday life! I can't say this for everyone but it's great to watch and travel to watch you guys race and to get the chance to meet and visit. You all are just as great in person as you are in the videos! Keep up the great work and we will keep watching!
You are such a good man. Its good to see there are more of us out there. God bless you and your family. I hope every grand dream you have comes true. You have been a somebody all your life but now you're making a voice for yourself and we would be proud to see you achieve your goal in this. Some of us will be forever under the rock. Just please dont forget us.
Yep we are still out there. Us ol'guys. Listening to you I've thought about building a new truck to do some drag racing for fun. And your Ideas are spot on.
I understand everything you are saying Bill. I'm 50 with 2 sons. We did everything together when they were young. I thought that closeness would last forever. And it's painful when you realize it won't. I can tell the pain you are feeling about distance growing between you. I'm old school too. You and I are very much alike. I think we'd get along good
I would love to see some in depth interviews and some shop tours and whatnot. I think that kinda stuff would be huge for SRC 💯 agreed also 2-3 uploads a week with some more personal/day to day stuff would be awesome too. Keep up the good work old man 👌🏽
There’s something to be said about a dad and son relationship. It will come around for ya someday. My dad was never right when I was 25 either. I’m sure your dad thought the same? This generation needs more help than ever. But you are a good influence for US all
It’s definitely doable because there’s plenty that are doing it. It absolutely requires 3-4 uploads weekly. Billy will see soon and the family will keep growing I’ve got faith
One of the best things ive noticed in your videos and from meeting you is you always tell them you love them. Thats one of the best things ever Bill. Thats one of the things they will always remember. Much love and God bless!!!
I just wish I had a dad like you are with billy. I’m building my own project with no help, But I’m learning a lot by watching you guys. An I wouldn’t be able to accomplish a lot of it without you guys.
I just want to add that I'm a young guy and like carburetors and hearing a small block rowing through the gears. I love your channel because I don't want to just watch other people drag race I want to do it myself one day with a s10(my first truck). You have already saved me alot of time and money with just the front suspension setup alone. Thanks for channel and keep it coming.
I met you and your family at KD Dragway and Owensboro, it was a great to meet and talk to all of you!!! I say do what makes you happy even if you step on a few toes or ruffle a few feathers, shit HAPPENS!!! Like Big Chief says “Real Recognizes Real” DO IT!!!!!
This is what I’ve learned in my 40 years of being on this earth. Now I’m not disrespecting anyone at all but this is what I’ve learned. When a person comes up living a life where he has to earn every penny he has, he appreciates everything he learns and buys all long the way. For those that where handed things to them to start their life or parents feel bad because they understand the hard life and they don’t want that for there kids are the ones that don’t understand that certain drive. Now everyone has a drive but that certain drive puts everything second in life when trying to achieve a certain goal is the drive not to many have anymore. I’ve made that mistake with my kids and not saying that’s what you did but this is my opinion on my life. You drill that into your kids because we only have one chance in life to do it right. Wish you the best of luck brother and if you need anything please let me know. I’ll help you anyway I can
good luck OLD MAN you are a winner and your channel is awesome I hope Billy understands that this is a good plan but he needs to know this is hard work and he is not much on hard work and is the least he can due since you are the one who helped him get where he is now YOU EARNED IT do not kid yourself
As a parent of a 28 year old son myself I get where your coming from Bill, we share a lot my son and me but there are some things we see entirely differently.
Oh how I hope Billy will see how much a dad will see how much he loves his son. I went through the same with my son. The generation difference is mind blowing. The darn phones need smashed until the graduate...lol. It has ruined the generation as far as I'm concerned. No one communicates face to face. I'm all for you man.
Love the content you provide, not only are you showing what it take's to race an maintance the car. You are teaching all the safety, an all the realistic goal's to expect when you put your time into the sport you love. If this lifestyle doesn't put back into the community you wouldn't be doing an sharing like you are. You've taught everyone what this lifestyle consists of. Really appreciate what you are doing it's not easy, the cost is insane. Think what your doing is awesome. Love watching street racing, building the car's is a thrill. Alway's going watch your content.
I didn’t realize this was your own channel, I follow SRC on Facebook, and just looked y’all up on here. I thought these were just videos I haven’t seen on Facebook. I’m glad I found your channel though, I’m really enjoying it. I haven’t spoken to my father in years (he’s not worth speaking too) it is nice to see there are good fathers out there.
Pops I would love to see that happen. I could watch ur videos and interviews all day long. U like to teach and educate people about street racing. The magazine or website would be absolutely awesome.
Seriously love your channel and your thought process. I work 40+hrs a week, had my car for 20yrs and finally getting to work ok her more and more. Been my passion for a long long time. Keep it up. Would love to be involved in such a great idea like you have!
I know this old man, I have not near the wisdom you do or experience. SIr, if you put your all in it, you got your heart and passion in it. You WILL succeed, and I will be watching and taking notes and trying to pay attention. Thank you for the detail behind your way of thinking.
Some people will Identify with you more than your son. Just a generations thing. I will support you both.
"Old man" I'm gonna stand behind you no matter where you go. You take pride in family, your religion, and racing. Those are the things I have been taught to stand behind down south.

Larry Larsen is a real down to earth stand up gentleman. His shop is open to the public. Be AWESOME to see an interview with him.
Larson is the Kyle Busch of drag racing. Aka entitled cry baby.
@@bendavis2652 You have a right to your opinion. Larry has never cried about anything to me. Always super nice to me
Larry Larson built my chassis on my Monte and he did my buddy Mike Roy's chassis on his multi drag week winning Monte.

Perfect intro brother! I love the 55 and going through the gears. It's old school and fits perfect!
Yep ,that rowing the gears part was perfect!!!
I don't think people realize how smart our dads are. We all get smarter as we age but it just something about our fathers and their experience in life.

Count me in!

I think he's left a big gap in content that you can fill up, a bunch on the table for you guys to co exist! Maybe some initial boundaries will help everything for the long run!!
I personally think you’ve proven yourself. And have everyone’s respect. You’re extremely humble.
Yep can’t sleep love your videos you and your family are hard working Americans that love God and country The intro is awesome
One suggestion be careful talking about not being home and out of town , there are a lot of scum bags out there who might watch your channel and see a opening. Your channel is awesome, have a great day.
Keith f,,,,i agree, never tell the scumbags your not home
Armed and insured by H.K
Trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again!!!
Agreed I thought the same when he said it
Shoot and kill trespasser #1,and those behind reconsider their next step.
Agreed 100%. I was thinking the same. Cant be too careful now days.
Being 72 years old; I'm kinda old school too. I was impressed as hell with that guys car in Owensboro 572 two fours and let it eat! No power adders that gets me fired up.
Yessir, that car was badass 👍🏽
I love the whole hearted grassroots racing and the father son relationship! I used to work with my Dad and things got hard for us. But we still have an amazing relationship! I personally don't care where the channel goes, I will be seriously upset if it stops, but I just want you and your family to be happy. Period
Take Take Take? Man, if you only had a clue what you and your family GIVE to all of us. I'm almost 40 now, and I never had a father, and I lost my mother when I was a very young man. I for example do feel a bit lonely in life, and I miss having a close family like I used to. I know I probably won't ever have it again, but to see the way you and your family love each other, and work so hard to make your passions work is just inspiring, and hits me in a damn soft spot. I try to get all my car friends into the channels and I am always ranting about "How they are the coolest family on youtube" or "the coolest family in racing" and in my heart of hearts I believe that is true. As far as Billys single upload a week... it sucks for me as a fan lol. I understand him though, because I am sure it can be a bit overwhelming to work, have young love, racing cars, and vlogging/editing at the same time.
You guys as a whole are the farthest thing from culture vultures.
I love the channel. I was Billy at one point working hand-in-hand with my father and I was a little stubborn thought I knew more. And unfortunately the older I got the more I realized my old man was right I’m now 40 years old and my dad‘s in his mid-60s not saying he was right 100% of the time but he was damn right 95% of the time Billy will come around it may not be right now but in time
My life has been a shit show hear lately, and yours and Billy’s videos and just drag racing in general is the only way I’ve found that I can escape my reality and relax. Keep your faith and keep workin, you can make it happen.
40 y/o here and your a great source of content once a week ain't enough. Man young men would kill to have a father figure like you.
I know you call yourself the Ole man I’m 10 years older and I think you should do some racing as I’m in to it big time have always loved old cars since my dad sold them in the 60s and 70s love your story’s and those two love hounds you carry with you everywhere they are funny till I meet you keep up the story’s and the tech thanks
I own a small family owned and operated mechanic shop. The struggle is real but I find similarities with my life and your channel. I think you guys have the best channel hands down. I look forward to every video.
Pop's, you are a damn good father,don't ever think any different. Keep your hopes up. I love your videos, I'm not young and not old but 48. I'm from old school thinking and not so much new age stuff. Keep it coming. I ask only one thing, make shirt's and ball Caps with your American flag logo. I love it.
Also want to say I love every story but I enjoy watching you and now that I understand how and why the channel came about I really can appreciate the whole deal I mean I have always loved the channel but this week I have went through almost every video and the 1 where you explained why u started the channel and you did talk about some times you were not proud of. The truth is I came up about the same way and racing saved me as well, I am not as big as you guys heck I only have a 10 sec truck that I do bracket race in Maryland but, It did save my life and I wish my dad was half as bright as you were to see where this were going I had help from a the gut next door I will leave out his name he has pass since but he pulled my from the gutter and I had to work for it but I now understand why he sent me this route and I am greatful for it
Your angle on all the motor sports is what I totally agree, is what us old school people live for.. looking forward to every new episode
We will be right behind you. Make it more than a channel,make it a lifestyle. Hopefully the kids will join you on the trip because it would be great for all of you. Possibly open their eyes to what's possible.
The reason you guys have so many followers and success is because you and your family are genuine people that shows the care and appreciation through your videos, and your daily life encounters whether they are caught on camera or not. It’s rare to find people like you and your family. Though I can’t speak for everyone, I however greatly appreciate what you guys do and watch all of yours and Billy’s videos. Thank you for the entertainment and great content.
I understand how you feel. I am almost your age and my son is 27 married,with and daughter now. When they grow up we are not priority anymore and it’s normal. That doesn’t make it suck any less. He is all about ls and turbo and I am old school small block, carb, and nitrous. I love your channel and look forward to what you have coming.
I'm a young man and I watch your channel every night. I enjoy your sons channel and I respect how fast both your boys trucks are. I like them old skool. Smelly, big cam, big carb, lots of gear.. before I got deep into racing dirt sprint cars I was a HUGE street racer and I was making 9 second 1/4 mile passes on the street back in 2008-2009. Street racing around here died so I had to move on but I still cruise my car everywhere. I love your channel and content keep it coming!
Old man nothing old school about you but that 55 screens something else DONT EVER STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING OR WHO YOU ARE FANTASTIC AND HUMBLE I KNOW OF NO OTHER CHANNEL THAT IS. CAPABLE OF YOUR HUMBLENESS YOU THANK THOSE AROUND YOU SO FREEKING GREAT
You and June are why I really love this channel.
Old man here and appreciate your channel - more carburetor tuning and mechanical lessons you have learned over the years would be great
Imagine waking up at 3 am to get the day started, and this pops up. So I had my coffee with you, and I'll get started soon. You take me back to the days when, yes, it was illegal to race on the streets, but not nearly as bad as it is now. I'm old now, and can't get out there and race anymore, but I still love it. And you're providing smiles for us, to remember old friends and cars we had. I think you could put out episodes about how much the grass grew this past weekend. You're a real guy, with the experience that it takes to be a leader in the industry. So go lead. You take your channel wherever you want it to go, and we'll be here waiting for the next one...
dont let your sons lack of drive hold you back form achieving great things with your channel. i love what you do and believe you can really make something out of this and in my opinion they can help or take a back seat if you start taking their "customers" with views or merchandise. its the boys choice dont let it hinder what you can achieve
There is absolutely no problem you might be looking into it too deep All of your channels together with merchandise do great Your son is a smart innovative man who is in with The Times hes gonna succeed no matter what!
Sorry again I don't comment and have not much ever but in my eyes you have earned it old man you set you your sons up ,You have raised your family and from what you said the way you set out too you have help Billy with that truck not taking from him he is awasome and he is way younger than myself but not to ramble on you but in the time you also have another s10 for Tommy and have earned your spot from young guys and old and I pray these guys step up and let you know I wish my dad was half the man you are sir
One old man to another(I'm 60), there is plenty of stuff for all of you. And it's all good! BTW, you get down to Texas, you will have to come by my shop. Building acouple of old Fords I think you would enjoy. Later!
Love the intro, also love your character and respect level for every aspect of life. Tis the reason you sir are successful.
I don't know anyone else on here you are living my dream,I am 67 yrs old an a disabled combat yet.i was in involove in drag racing started in 1969,I have ran modified elim.,super stock elim.had my own machine shop twice in different states.What you do for me in let my experience thing i yeared over the years again .And it feels good.You keep Billys feet to the fire because I know,you only have once to do it.I couldn't do it with my son because he has MS an is bed fast. So keep up the good work you do I enjoy the culure,PS you ain't no vulure

Just wanted to let you know your for sure giving back and doing what you said you wanted to to. It’s greatly appreciated. Been watching you awhile now and am going back and watching the old videos. Thank you!!!
Yes, ur correct, ive been in this game since i was 14, im 50 now, lol, from a fathers view point ur 100% correct on ur views, wish my 2 boys would take interest, im still wrenching, even after a bad crash in my outlaw car in 2009, told i would never walk again, but im walking, no pain meds, u guys and what ur doing keeps me positive to keep moving forward, i do miss racing, i would race tomorrow if my wife would let me, but i made a promise to her, so i live through u guys, street racing, no prep, so thank u guys.
Hey Mr. Billy "Old Man"! I've been watching on your sons channels alot, and now I'm watching yours as well. Life is too short, i understand everyone need to get along and wish them the best of all times. My dad and I get along, we have some ups and downs like everyone does, but I'm glad he give an advice of what not and what to do. Im 37 years old, never to old to learn and you're gonna learn everyday till time is up. I understand what you're say, Mr. Old man, and I wish you the best and your family as well. Don't take it hard, just keep moving forward, and enjoy it while you're at it. If you ever come down in Louisiana, I would like to meet ya. Have a safe trip and go get them tiger! God bless yall!
Its gotta be real and you've gotta be feeling it in your soul. It's the only way it works. Billy and you have earned the right to do what's right. Great content
That dog maybe crazy, but it loves the hell out of all of you. She is such a sweetheart and if I'm right she maybe a little spoiled also. Great channel, videos and great guys you have there. You are right it takes more than one person to do what you want to do and alot of time. Take it one step at a time.
Patreon would also be a good help in gaining support for the family, don't change your ways and words don't lose faith. Carey on with what you do.
Follow your dreams because we will watch !!
At some stage in the future I would like to see the ol man outlay some coin and start his own project. Don’t get me wrong I love what you are doin (can’t fault it) if the opportunity arises I’d love to see you build a car possibly another s10. Of course I understand that money doesn’t grow on trees. But this would be exciting. All in good time.
Which ever way your channel goes I will keep watching. Enjoy the family time with your boys. You are a good man and you always give of your time to other racers. Just make sure you take time for yourself. Hi June Pup.
Love your channel love everything about you guys I love seeing how your family sticks together when it comes to racing and anything else me and my son have father-son time sitting down watching you and your son do y'all's thing and I street race too my son's interested in it and now he really wants to do it from me and him sitting down watching you guys thanks for what you're doing keep up the good work.
Old school is GREAT school! Please keep the vids coming.
Just sayin that in January and February there are still tracks open in Florida Texas, and California.
I love what you're doin. I've been a big drag racing fan forever, and have built a couple of cars. Now I'm finally building my truck, and am using a lot of the info I've learned from you to make it as fast as I possibly can. I thank you for every bit of knowledge that you have given out. I am working on getting videos to put up on my channel to lay out the build, and if nothing else give people the chance to watch me screw things up, and learn what not to do.
I just love how real you are. You tell it how it is and what it is with no bullshit. Above all else genuine. I love your channel sir because of what you give to us people watching it. You get a little but of everything and thatd including Billy's channel. Thanks for these 👍
Gotta come up to Alberta, Canada. The drag racing scene here is bred into almost every family and in a place where we are forced with limitation via tracks constantly closing, weather, our dollar value, getting parts. We have to work twice as hard as some of yall down south in the us.
This video right here.... This explains why I fell in love with this channel. Hard working people.... That's how we get from nothing to something. This country desperately needs more men with work ethic. More men with overalls and tools and less man buns and mocha lattes'
Don't worry pops, mine are just a few years older than yours now and almost as fast as their gone they come back to us but in a different way. Their lives may be much different than ours but the love and respect that they show as they get a little older and the work ethic/drive kicks in and its beautiful to watch. And very satisfying knowing that we did a good job. Love your channel and look forward to seeing a new video every day. But take a break every once in awhile and enjoy with miss Vicky.
I love all of your channels they all meet a need or have a space. I am 57, I also worked with my father first and then with my son. I can relate.
Mr Bill you need to do what your heart tells you should do .I'm sure your son's will follow.god bless
I think its a great idea. Go chase it. I think giving the real deal street racers some light is awesome. Show the public what some of these people do for a living to have a little fun. Lots of cool people to interview. Heck can run over to a few smaller shops/performance industries and show people what the company does and makes.
And the followers will love it and tune in.
Hi my name is Artie and I’ve just started watching and subscribed to your channel. I’m up here on Long Island NY and I’m a retired. Aircraft mechanic. When I was a youngster in the 60’s we all had cars like you are driving now. We had 57, 55 chevys and fords that we always worked on and you and I are old school in fact I’m probably older than dirt but still love the old cars like your driving. They mean so much to me. I had a 68 mustang brand new but Vietnam came along and when I returned marriage and kids and dogs. Came along and the mustang had to go.I hated that but what are you gonna do. Keep that 55 going it sounds great and I miss it. Even Long Islands drag strips are long gone. well thanks for listening I’ll get back to the video think your done at the bank. This pandemic is driving me nuts thanks for your channel. I busted my ass my whole life and now we’re living through this. Anyway stay safe and well 😊🏁🇺🇸 your in central Ohio my daughter and grand kids live in Loveland Ohio. Long story if we ever meet I’d need days to get through it. I know what your talking about
Absolutely LUV this channel. Yessir, the intro is KILLAH! Just keep do'n what you're do'n 'ol Dad,, we're with ya!
Keep your eye on that dream. and don't get discouraged.
Its a pleasure you and your kids take us a long in your everyday life! I can't say this for everyone but it's great to watch and travel to watch you guys race and to get the chance to meet and visit. You all are just as great in person as you are in the videos! Keep up the great work and we will keep watching!
You are such a good man. Its good to see there are more of us out there. God bless you and your family. I hope every grand dream you have comes true. You have been a somebody all your life but now you're making a voice for yourself and we would be proud to see you achieve your goal in this. Some of us will be forever under the rock. Just please dont forget us.
Absolute respect to you Sir, great work keep your head held high
Yep we are still out there. Us ol'guys. Listening to you I've thought about building a new truck to do some drag racing for fun. And your Ideas are spot on.
Yours and Billy’s Chanel so humble so dam refreshing thanks
I understand everything you are saying Bill. I'm 50 with 2 sons. We did everything together when they were young. I thought that closeness would last forever. And it's painful when you realize it won't. I can tell the pain you are feeling about distance growing between you. I'm old school too. You and I are very much alike. I think we'd get along good
I would love to see some in depth interviews and some shop tours and whatnot. I think that kinda stuff would be huge for SRC 💯 agreed also 2-3 uploads a week with some more personal/day to day stuff would be awesome too. Keep up the good work old man 👌🏽
Checking in from Kansas. From my perspective you are not hurting Billy's channel. I think you are building up a larger brand. Mutually beneficial.
There’s something to be said about a dad and son relationship. It will come around for ya someday. My dad was never right when I was 25 either. I’m sure your dad thought the same? This generation needs more help than ever. But you are a good influence for US all
It’s definitely doable because there’s plenty that are doing it. It absolutely requires 3-4 uploads weekly. Billy will see soon and the family will keep growing I’ve got faith
I look forward to these videos MORE than any other videos!! Please keep up the good work!!
I'm PUMPED for the next chapter! Keep it up! 💪🙏
Chase your dreams and goals we stand behind u old man big prayers to be very successful with all of what u wanna do
One of the best things ive noticed in your videos and from meeting you is you always tell them you love them. Thats one of the best things ever Bill. Thats one of the things they will always remember. Much love and God bless!!!
I just wish I had a dad like you are with billy. I’m building my own project with no help, But I’m learning a lot by watching you guys. An I wouldn’t be able to accomplish a lot of it without you guys.
I just want to add that I'm a young guy and like carburetors and hearing a small block rowing through the gears. I love your channel because I don't want to just watch other people drag race I want to do it myself one day with a s10(my first truck). You have already saved me alot of time and money with just the front suspension setup alone. Thanks for channel and keep it coming.
I met you and your family at KD Dragway and Owensboro, it was a great to meet and talk to all of you!!! I say do what makes you happy even if you step on a few toes or ruffle a few feathers, shit HAPPENS!!! Like Big Chief says “Real Recognizes Real” DO IT!!!!!
This is what I’ve learned in my 40 years of being on this earth. Now I’m not disrespecting anyone at all but this is what I’ve learned.
When a person comes up living a life where he has to earn every penny he has, he appreciates everything he learns and buys all long the way. For those that where handed things to them to start their life or parents feel bad because they understand the hard life and they don’t want that for there kids are the ones that don’t understand that certain drive. Now everyone has a drive but that certain drive puts everything second in life when trying to achieve a certain goal is the drive not to many have anymore.
I’ve made that mistake with my kids and not saying that’s what you did but this is my opinion on my life. You drill that into your kids because we only have one chance in life to do it right.
Wish you the best of luck brother and if you need anything please let me know. I’ll help you anyway I can
SRC channel is the best hands down entertainment it is hard to not keep checking my phone for the next one.
Love the hole family and the channels. I will be watching whatever you all do. Wish the best for you and God bless the hole family.
you aint gotta prove that your not a vulture. your one of the most honest genuine fellers on this platform. your very transparent in a good way.
Anything SRC does.....I LOVE IT!!!!!!😍😍😍😎😎😎💪💪💪👍👍👍👍✌✌✌
good luck OLD MAN you are a winner and your channel is awesome I hope Billy understands that this is a good plan but he needs to know this is hard work and he is not much on hard work and is the least he can due since you are the one who helped him get where he is now YOU EARNED IT do not kid yourself
As a parent of a 28 year old son myself I get where your coming from Bill, we share a lot my son and me but there are some things we see entirely differently.
Oh how I hope Billy will see how much a dad will see how much he loves his son. I went through the same with my son. The generation difference is mind blowing. The darn phones need smashed until the graduate...lol. It has ruined the generation as far as I'm concerned. No one communicates face to face. I'm all for you man.
Love the content you provide, not only are you showing what it take's to race an maintance the car. You are teaching all the safety, an all the realistic goal's to expect when you put your time into the sport you love. If this lifestyle doesn't put back into the community you wouldn't be doing an sharing like you are. You've taught everyone what this lifestyle consists of. Really appreciate what you are doing it's not easy, the cost is insane. Think what your doing is awesome. Love watching street racing, building the car's is a thrill. Alway's going watch your content.
No matter what endeavors you pursue I will support and follow your channel. I wish you luck.
I didn’t realize this was your own channel, I follow SRC on Facebook, and just looked y’all up on here. I thought these were just videos I haven’t seen on Facebook. I’m glad I found your channel though, I’m really enjoying it. I haven’t spoken to my father in years (he’s not worth speaking too) it is nice to see there are good fathers out there.
Same here sir, I'll back you both 100% on anything you choose
Pops I would love to see that happen. I could watch ur videos and interviews all day long. U like to teach and educate people about street racing. The magazine or website would be absolutely awesome.
Seriously love your channel and your thought process. I work 40+hrs a week, had my car for 20yrs and finally getting to work ok her more and more. Been my passion for a long long time. Keep it up. Would love to be involved in such a great idea like you have!
I know this old man, I have not near the wisdom you do or experience. SIr, if you put your all in it, you got your heart and passion in it. You WILL succeed, and I will be watching and taking notes and trying to pay attention. Thank you for the detail behind your way of thinking.
