We have a petrol price hike at the moment down under. Price I paid per litre was $2.32 which equates to about $8.70 a gallon. Beautiful places there but we have some like that here as well. Should do a holiday trip down here in Australia one day.
Good to meet you at Samoa. You were just as gracious as I expected. I was standing next to you at the drivers meeting. You’re really capturing the “awesomeness”. What a cool event! I definitely want in next year in my Olds.
Wow I'm enjoying watching this video. If you want to stay a little more consistent on your launch off the line. You might consider using a idle up solenoid. If you can rig one up on there on your next event. It does a lot of things to help you stay consistent. You don't burn up your converter you don't have to worry about touching the gas pedal just rest your foot on it to get ready to move off the line. And if you have somebody taking a little more time on the staging you won't burn through your converter. It helped me my 60-foot swore the same I never has worried about anything but cutting a light. And then just turn the switch off as you're going through your gears
Hell Yeah! I LOVED this video! You are becoming my favorite channel! Your time slip was great too!! Almost in the 8s is fast! Faster than anything I've ever driven... I need to get a faster car and do a drag n drive... Looks like so much fun
Loving the trip. I live in New Zealand but love CA and Oregon and have done that drive up the coast and through the redwoods and the scenery is stunning ! Your eyes during the drags are intense, don't blink at all ! Danny is at one with nature and the slots, loving the humour, keep it up !
Ah, don't sweat the timeslips - Big Wave is still in the test-and-tune stage of his development!! What some people don't realize is that every drag-n-drive is a bit of a compromise. I mean, the 200-odd highway miles between tracks on this leg is equivalent to EIGHT HUNDRED passes on the strip. Unless you have deeper pockets than that Elon felller, you're gonna have to compensate for simple wear and tear six ways from Sunday, if nothing else. And highway wear and tear is a little bit different than track w&t. Add in the factor of you all being rookies at this sort of thing, and the big picture becomes much clearer. Oh yeah, and let's not forget the FABULOUS amount of content that you're so kindly sharing with us every day, over and above all the other 1001 capers surrounding your junket. IMHO, two things need to happen, here. The "fringe" of your fan base needs to clam up and cut you LOTS of slack. And you two need to develop a "kevlar skin" mindset, when it comes to dealing with the critics. Myself, I don't care if you have to time Big Wave with a calendar - I'm in this for the vicarious fun and surprises, period. I'm certain Big Wave will come into his own eventually, and I'm fully prepared to make like Job in the interim. It's the least I can do, dig? Stay safe, and keep having a blast. I'm raising my Colortini snifter to you both, in humble salute. 🍷 PROST!!!😎
I read every word and appreciate you so much!! Thank you for your constant support. Doing the absolute best we can with what we've got, and like you said. Just a rookie out here having fun!
@@GnarlySpeedShop Right back at ya, Luv!! Every gearhead needs a cool uncle to "have their backs," so I guess I'm yours. You and Daniel-San concentrate on having as good a time as possible, and I'll run interference when necessary. All shall be Well..........😎
Kind of looks like a before and after shot at 6:30 in the video what your car would look like after it got the paint and body work done don't get me wrong though I like the patina look
It takes time to get off line the way you want to. Once you get your reaction time right. Your times will improve. And some truly beautiful scenery. And hope you don’t loose too much!
Such a great time you guys are having! Thanks for sharing the journey. And man those gas prices! I paid 4.39 for 91 filling up my wife's car just the other day.
How does it feel you guys to be famous? I've always thought that would be cool to get recognize by people all over the world... might not be movie stars but y'all are still getting recognized.... good job... peace.... here in North Carolina gas is $3.36 and I thought that was high... geeze 😭
Really enjoying your trip. Have you seen the California Proposal to create zero emissions zones not allowing classic cars to drive? It's insane. End of an era.
Thanks this the Great Video & Channel ! I Have a Same Car Channel too , From Finland ! Have : American Car , Vintage Car , Muscle Car , Truck , Cruising ... #Retired4You
Could I ask what cam and improvements you did to the engine? I also saw at the chevron station the 87 octane was 6.79...here in N.C. its 3.38 per gal...what a difference.
Gary if You are interested in the details, the posted videos show the internals used in the engine build and other parts, components too. All The Best, Sincerely
I loved your launch, the drive thru the forest was picturesque, i know it's hard work getting the video's out, after a full day, but you're doing a great job.
A fair number of Pontiacs at the beach.
For the first time in my life I would like to go to California. The view of the drive was awesome!
❤😁👍 great job you too I want to see you swim over and climb upon that rock Danny 🤘
I appreciate each of your videos ❤
Give me som-oah! You make it look so fun and easy, but driving, racing and shooting and editing must be a load of work! Your work is appreciated.
Guys really really love your trip ,soak it all in and enjoy every minute of it, life is good.😊😊😊
Awesome views of the ocean. Big wave kicking some serious but on the drag strips. You guys have a good safe trip 🎉
build some pressure in the brake lines by pumping them before you stage and it will hold much better
thanks for the ride along and really cool adventure with just awesome video, you guys are great and the best car people on u tube

That '65 Biscayne is killer!
Thanks for taking us along on your journey! I enjoy seeing new parts of the country.
You guys are awesome 😎 God bless
Great video!
This has to be the most awesome drag & drive in the country! WOW!
Thanks for letting us tag along! I appreciate it very much!
Great videos, thanks for posting…

Nice videos. My friend Jason in the light green 57 Chevy wagon is a friend of mine. If you get a chance to visit he is super nice.
Good to meet you at Samoa. You were just as gracious as I expected. I was standing next to you at the drivers meeting. You’re really capturing the “awesomeness”. What a cool event! I definitely want in next year in my Olds.
You're incredibly nice & supportive and I'm so glad we had the pleasure of meeting. Thank you for watching :)
Welcome to Northern California and Southern Oregon.
Great trip and great videos
Enjoying your travels. California is absolutely beautiful. I follow the EAST COAST area DRAG N DRIVE also. Great video

Awesome 👍😎

Those were some very kind cool words from you.
Kudos my man, you got a precious soul.
Bless ya!
Those ocean views are awesome. Thanks for all the hard work in making the video's. Cheers U 2.
It looks like you might have went through Orick California, where that elk was, and then maybe the Ave Of The Giants where that big tree was.
Beautiful country. The beach arch was amazing. Get some rest !!!!!!❤
Luv your show an car

Face down 😂 I've been there so many times.
Cool track! Great views on the drive! Glad to see it is a fun trip!
Thank you for allowing us to go on vac ca with you seeing all the fun

Cool Olivia and Danny
Outstanding video as always. Glad you guys got to enjoy some of the neighborhood. Today was a great day of racing with friends.
You're the MAN Kevin!!
Sounds SO SWEET ! 👍🏻
That was a great video, really enjoyed watching, have fun and be safe ❤❤
Looks like an excellent adventure.
Beautiful drive
Sounds like the trans is shifting out of 1st gear to early.
Agreed. Shift points need to be adjusted. 2-3 is pretty bad
Such a great time you guys are having! Thanks for sharing the journey. And man those gas prices! I paid 4.39 for 91 filling up my wife's car just the other day.
Great footage

I have to hit that next year's event.
Really enjoying your trip. Have you seen the California Proposal to create zero emissions zones not allowing classic cars to drive? It's insane. End of an era.
Nice
👍👍😎
Next year I’m going!
What a great trip but can't believe you haven't fitted modern seatbelts especially for the drag racing
Yeah. Its wet up there. So what's your 60,feet time off the line ? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎
Thanks this the Great Video & Channel !
I Have a Same Car Channel too , From Finland !
Have : American Car , Vintage Car , Muscle Car , Truck , Cruising ...

There are NEVER any good signs on a slot machine! They are designed to do one thing, and one thing only, TAKE YOUR MONEY!
Party pooper 😂
Truth teller 😊
First to second shifts too soon make it 1000 more rpm's. The third shift is too late by 300to500 rpm's.let some air out of the rear tires.
I was seeing the interior light is it side ways or is that how they came
👍🇨🇦
question is the track at sea level ? 😁
I like the Lopping of the Cam.
Maybe a different smaller steering wheel and a Rollback Tow truck.
Best Drag n’ Drive ever! Bucket list. So glad y’all are having such great fun, thanks for sharing it with us!!✌️🍻
I like Tennessee alot more don't get that vibe at all from the east myself looks more like a chore than fun to me

Please pull your visor down. Get a routine. Visor down, pre stage. Waite for opponent. Stage. Make the run.
So Crusin' the USA! I bet that Elk wanted to race an ELK,amino ,,,and did you see Bigfoot peeking around a tree?
What Kind of MPG is the Pancho getting ?
Can you post a map of the rally. Google has a map but no cities.
What compression ratio are you running. Does it warrant using 91 octane?
Yes, common misconception about required and beneficial fuel. :-)
I loved your launch, the drive thru the forest was picturesque, i know it's hard work getting the video's out, after a full day, but you're doing a great job.
I gunned it
How do they justify to the people of CA $7 a gallon gas?
No rain
The Elk were checking out your car. One said COOL.
A bit late at the late or the GTO jumped the light.
Always love driving hwy 101
You should try blinking a little when your racing 😅
Great ET 0.092
High gas prices - Thanks for the reminder, NEVER go to California.
