Absolutely awesome video I could watch this stuff all day long, I remember when I was very young and my dad towed a 32 Ford to a airport it had a flathead Offenhauser heads, Edelbrock manifold with three Stromberg 94's, when the sun went down people lined up down the runway and turned on their headlights to watch the races. Really the good old days
Another great video. Appreciate the variation of viewpoints in this one. Videography is spot on as always. I think 60s and 70s really is my favourite (sorry for the UK spelling, lol) era. Thanks again for your attention to detail. Regards from Wales UK.

Almost all of the super stocks of the early sixties had engines based around the nascar rules, a maximum of seven liters, 427 cu in. Chevy had a 409 rated 425 hp, but they enlarged that motor to the little-remembered z11 package of 427cu in, now still under-rated at 425hp. Mopar had maxwedges and hemis, both rated at 425hp, 426 cu in, ford had a 427 hi riser, and pontiac had a super duty 421, under rated at 415hp (if i remember right). All of those motors used dual quads and cast iron header-like exhaust manifolds, at least until they were replaced by true headers. All of those were also offered with lightweight frontends for their drag packages, either aluminum or fiberglass (ford). Those factory lightweights are now worth a fortune. What those engines ACTUALLY put out is open to conjecture.
At 3:57, why on earth would that guy drive that converted Indy car with no roll bar whatsoever? How long do you think his neck would last if he lost control?
i dont understand american dragracing events and the lack of firesafety staff.. not a singel one at the start area is dressed for fire rescue, no one is sitting in the pickup.. wtf???
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on....So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. :-(((
I will attempt to give you an answer. These racers want to race their cars, and run them hard, but, they don't want to be wreckin', and breakin' stuff... They get to run them, we get to watch them...all's good!
