    Thank you for these Great Videos! Thanks too for not putting in any dumb music. A gasser makes its own music. And thank you for not having anyone running their dumb mouth. These sights and sounds remind me of when I was a kid and my Pop used to race his roadrunner at Island dragway. Not many gassers but lots of super stock action. DRAG STRIP RIOT #1.

    This video is absolutely awesome angles with gray the gases are the best I wish there was some slingshots in here but that's okay there's nothing like nostalgic and I think I liked the silver Corvette the best but every car was awesome everybody put their own personality into these cause and everyone is a work of art

    Wow...............best film footage......multiple angles even!!! Great job!!! Very period correct cars!!! NHRA wants to know how to revive..........they should look at this video and cars that people still love 50 years later!!!!! No one can relate to a stretched plastic body / tube frame even if it does go 300 mph!!!

    • @DragStripRiot
      @DragStripRiot  7 лет назад +1

      Could not agree more with the sentiments. Thank you very much for the kind words, and for watching. You should check these recent videos out of more multi-angle and nostalgia classes.

      I am a huge early gasser fan having competed with a national record holding B/Gasser in the '60's. But judging by the few fans in the stands at this event, I am not sure the general public agrees with you.

    • @edwardalamo2507
      @edwardalamo2507 5 лет назад

      Sport taken over by high dollar corporate sponsors, everyday little guys started drag racing by each driver building his own car, real hot rodding

  • @FloydLarck
    @FloydLarck 4 года назад +1

    Great camera work, glad you didn't waste time on the burnouts. Showing the finish is spot on, too many 'racing' videos never show the end of the race.

    I miss Byron! Started going there when it was known as Rockford as I lived less than an hour away (from Great Lakes also) and now that I've moved to CA, there are no drag strips close by. So I have to watch videos.....not the same!

    • @DragStripRiot
      @DragStripRiot  7 лет назад

      Thank you! At this point in time, it's unlikely we'll ever see regular 1/4 mile racing from them. Too many unfortunate incidents, even to the 1/8. These cars are running much faster than their predecessors of the 60s.

    • @DragStripRiot
      @DragStripRiot  6 лет назад

      The Meltdown Drags is by far the best nostalgia event around. So much cool vintage iron in one place. You've got that right about NHRA.

      Some classes only run 1/8 mile...and the track forgot to set the scoreboards to reflect that.

    • @Convoycrazy
      @Convoycrazy 7 лет назад

      Yeah usually no matter what exhibition event you go to, blown gassers and nitro cars run 1/8 mile. Sad, you know- I think we all want them to stay in it... but sadly that's the way it is

    Gotta tell ya that sounds great! And I love it very much!!! Can't get enough of the sound of a Gasser!!! You betcha!!! But how can they keep wasting their tires like that? Isn't that a little bit expensive??? All in the name of a " Great burnout"!!?? Dumbasses! Right that's how I feel about it now because I wouldn't be doing this if I were racing there! Not bloody likely! Too Damn expensive and it's just a waste of money and time!
