All of a sudden I'm 13 again, watching Steve and Diamond P videos. Love them, MOAR.

I like the racing from the 5 second days it was way more entertaining then now. 1000 foot is garbage.

Yeah 1/8 mile racing is for people who can’t build a 1/4 mile car that won’t fall apart.

Denis MacFarlane The 1/4 mile format was much better.

@@denismacfarlane255 Its not 1/8 which is 200 meters its 300 meters or about 1000 foot these days, its a attempt to keep the top speed down.

Yeah, you may be cool, but you'll never be "Keeping your foot in it when your engine's on fire" cool.

Genuinely surprised Gordon Mineo’s crash with the Eddie Hill tow vehicle was not included in any of these videos. Great work on all 3 installments regardless! I find myself coming back to rewatch them all the time.

First, I love these videos. I have been a drag racing fan for a long time. I grew up watching the Diamond P videos and pretty much memorized all of them. You have a lot of footage that I have never seen before. Where are you finding all of these gems? Second, you seem a lot younger than me. What made you interested in all of these old drag racing videos? I hardly know anyone interested in drag racing and most that are interested are even older than me. Third, thanks for putting these together. I hope you continue making them. I’m really enjoying your work.

Thank you for the nice comment, I'm currently 19 years old and why I'm so into drag racing is because of my dad. My dad recorded on VHS the first half of the 1989 NHRA Season and I watched those tapes many many times. On top of that, we had a few Jackson Brothers drag racing tapes, and Drag Racing '91. My dad also in the summer would take us to Wednesday night drag races in Portland, Oregon; I grew up loving the sport. Unfortunately, just over seven years ago, my father passed away. Now most of my footage is from RU-vid at one time or another. However, it's not a perfect collection. I'm hopeful that more from the 1978 and 1984 NHRA seasons get released. Sorry for the life story but there you go!

the last race of the video, the commentator needs to get his eyes checked. the guy didnt cross the center line.
@CalvinWalker2000
@CalvinWalker2000 4 года назад
Mark hit some timing lights, that counts as crossing the center line.

4:00. This is like Karma for Kalida because the earlier video he was waiting then his car burst into flames. Then he had trouble and her car blew up and he was mad

So did they give Big Daddy the win even though the timing system was out to lunch?
@CalvinWalker2000
@CalvinWalker2000 4 года назад
Yes, "Big Daddy" was awarded the victory. I don't imagine Bill would have protested.
