The 1960's were the golden era of NHRA & AHRA Drag Racing. The shear amount of different approaches to building these SP/Gassers really showed the individual owners/builders style and mechanical talents. This is a really fun look back at racing's "yesteryear!" Edit: I as well as you mentioned,, wanted a set of Hooker Headers for my lifted/off road Chevy Blazer but wound up installing Doug's Headers instead because the price was right. They turned out to be just right for my application. And, they really sounded cool.

Cars still look gorgeous as I'm looking at them at 62 years old is when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s looking at them. 😁👍👍

Finding info on these unique cars had to be quite the time-consuming project. Much appreciated!

Alot of people forget that sports cars were hot Rods to.I run a modified AlfaRomeo and get alot of frowns from traditional rodders.

Incredible! at 0:25, The High Heeled Sneaker has a shot. Ironic is that the car is from Wenatchee Wa. I'm in Wa State. Never seen it or that picture before. Amazing. A buddy has a 240Z with a 14:1 SBC1 283 and a 4 speed. He is doing the Gasser theme with a straight axle up front and big leafs in the back.

GOOD STUFF! (I've got a SBC MGB street car, see avatar) Baxter & Bronson Corvette was a SF Bay area car, seems like I saw it doin' wheelies/runnin' low 10s @ Fremont most of the 70s (BBC powered)

Around 1980 there was a touring show on the west coast with quite a few shoe-box chevys. With them was an RX3 powered by a wankel.

I got to see a Lot of these cars run as my Dad took me All Over the Midwest to Drag Strips . Back then , in the '60s , '70s and later. These cars depicted in this video Ruled on drag strips from West Coast to The Atlantic Shores. If it didn't click in Qualifying, they just stepped it up a " little more". I've said Publicly for more than 20 years , NHRA ruined drag racing and What it became Famous for. Real Hot Rods still exist and the People that build Them and Engineer Them , still exist. Yet , some of our efforts are Damn Near Illegal Anywhere.

I'm guessing the red Jag E-Type is a fiberglass recreation. Great video!

Doug's headers were half the price of a set of Hookers. I always wanted a pair of Stahl headers but...

My little Triumph feels kinda sketchy at 65 mph, I can only imagine running 9s in it

@robertklein1316 5 месяцев назад

You missed the US MULE, MGTD that ran at Dover, another trip down memory lane. Cars are still here, owners are gone or going fast.

'The Mongoose' Corvette is messed up looking. Like, WHY with those rear wheel arches???!!!

@robertbihn3005 4 месяца назад

That last photo is a killer, you can tell driver is not happy. I didn't laugh at it, it's not funny to me. I enjoyed other photos that show well know drag machines behind the unknown (to me) hot sports cars !
