Seekonk Speedway Independence Day Thrill Show 2015 SPECTATOR DRAGS 

I've been binge watching the spectator drags for the last 8 hours 😁

Well it’s pretty much just gms or 4cylinders every time

I'm sorry, you are from the uk..

USA! USA! USA! 🇺🇸

This stuff beats NASCAR hands down. NASCAR is now a joke.

***** Thank you for taking your cars out there and putting on a show! I Hope to make it to a few more events this year.

Race that beast at beech ridge spec drags

This car is amazing man! Nice work I’m not sure if you remember, but back in 01-02 there was an eagle talon with a two tone color, black and green. That thing was nuts.

@@sessionnine546 That car was called "the green machine". It was owned by Leon Reitman out of NH. He still races from time to time with his awd mitsu swapped eagle summit.

That thing was mad! And so is the summit

Or really no the lines....

No shit

@@astroboy5456 Know shit.

You need to carry more speed and be a smooth experienced driver to run high. But it can be done and go real fast and win with the same HP as the guy running the low line

Gotta know how to drive

Camaro have the best stock front end geometry for circle track racing

That car was flying!

Well yeah when you put it up against cars with power adders like turbos sure. And something tells me the turbos out there are NOT running factory boost levels. But heck let me throw a turbo on a ‘insert any car here’ and I will run 25-30lbs of boost and see if I win against n/a cars.

I know... How the fuck did they even get a job announcing at a racetrack if they don't know shit about cars?

the chevelle nova though

The "camaro" Corvette

Best race of the day, there may have been a couple other good ones where the outside could hang on. 13:21

Pissed me off

I mean, the 3000GT is a Dodge Stealth.

Spectator Race, anyone can enter with what you drove in as long as it passes inspection and you sign the waiver.

No no, I don't want to drive in the races, I just want to sit in the stands and watch the races.

it would just make you spin out easy. you need the weight in the center and not on the ends that's why mid engine cars are so much better

Most people would say a straight line is where they shine brightest

The talon lined up at an angle to try to intimidate the other driver its an old trick

@@tomhutchins1046 no, the talon lined up at an angle for better acceleration against the hill he was sitting on.

@@tastegw I have been oval track racing for over 20 years if he thinks thats and advantage he's dreaming it will hurt his line into the first corner and make him slower. I agree with Tom hutchins

@@tastegw Yep that & a straighter trajectory into the first turn.

Its seekonk...

And that Lancer is apparently an Impreza.

@@danieldeaseweitzelwalker 😂

called the 71 chevelle a nova

Dude the black car in the thumbnail is a Chevy Nova 🤷🤷🤷

Dude the black car in the thumbnail is a Chevy Nova 🤷🤷🤷

Definitely a close one

Holy shit

That talon would win it it wad straight or they switched

The cars that won, they pointed towards the corner on a angle now, shoot them down hill of track if you noticed that also.

Lightning McQueen won from outside😂

Agreed

I know, I'm a little late but these things are addictive!!

Clark it’s crazy when they smash a nice car up

Seen in person once and very cool!!

Yeah it ain't stock.

Both Eagles, the Summit and the Talon!

shnrbtlle18 rustang rust in pieces

Cause Mustangs are geared for straight track not this they will put it in the wall. Also notice it's the Older 70s Camaros winning its cause they was build for GRANDAM racing. My brother drives daily Fords but racing's oval track his 76 Camaro.

You sound dumb as hell. You know dam well you would drive a mustang

@@shifthappens2446 Ah look mr goodwrench speaks

What’s it called

@@joshpreston6310 its a honda wagovan awd little hatch basicly, coolest car honda made that was never cool untill 25 years later

Original joke

It’s because they aren’t new mustangs.

@@nickfishback350 new edge mustangs spin out, I prefer older mustang's any day

It may be an old joke... but it's a proven joke Haha

It’s because there were no unprotected bystanders or opposing lines of traffic to confuse them. Typically the impact order is Spin tires, curb, grass, people. Or Spin tires, curb, median, oncoming cars at red light. I have a Ford and a Chevy. I haven’t hit anything in the Chevy yet.

yeah except that one orange camaro owned that outside lane.

I don't know. The Talon was doing pretty good with the outside. Did you notice how he'd set up sideways. Aiming for turn 1

Your actually better off ouside the guys I saw going on the inside where going WAY to far down. About a car width away from the inside line is the groove you want to be in. If done corrctly you steer it out with as much throttle as you can without it getting to loose so that you end up closer to the wall about halfway down the track then in a gear that has your rpms up slowly start to come into the corner so by the time your at about half way threw your at the lowest point and your momentum start pushing you towards the top of the track near the wall. only a couple of these drivers knew how to run a circle track, not to mention you dont want to be shifting either, you want enough gear to take you from turn 2 to 3. The rpms and the drag from high rpms letting off the throttle is what keeps you in the corner. Its hard to explain I guess, but thats the basic idea.

@@Punk-Jw That is true at some tracks. Usually ones with a consistent radios turns and equal banking. There called handling tracks. horse power tracks are different its basically drag race down the straight brake hard (Glowing rotors) And dive for the bottom first. Altamont speedway in Ca was a track like your describing about a car width from the bottom was the fast line. Ukia and Carson city were drag race tracks HP and brakes. stockton 99 you would drag race down the straight brake hard aiming at the center of the outer wall between turn 3 and 4 then rotate last second and come back down the hill into the front straight. one and two are more of a standard shape like the one in the video. Remember these are not set up race cars on race tires there probably better off staying away from the wall so when they spin there is more space to avoid backing into the wall and wrecking there street car.

@@Punk-Jw turn 3?

Oui, that I too did notice, mon ami. BTW, are these contests 'stand-alone' events...or do they take place after other multi-laps conventional races ? 💋 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iBlC7PIJdNI.html

Its a wonder the crowd wasnt taken out....

I love watching these mustangs gets smoked... By a Japanese station wagon!

Why

@@gabrielvieira6529 why what. Which part

Guythesquid, Why because you hate Fords? Maybe a little jealous cause you can't afford a Mustang?

+MrNelsonButterscotch wouldnt the outside be able to carry more speed since its line isnt as sharp a turn as the inside line? seems like its really up to the skill of the driver.

True, and honestly there were only a couple of drivers who could even drive worth a damn. You probably noticed 90% of them overcooked it in turn one.

They should have the start line a little farther back to give the outside car time to slide into the groove.

@@danvetor1365 Make it at least 3 Laps

except for when the WS6 ate the Audi alive but yeah go on

@@relco9825 big deal, that's an exception not the the rule. If you put two comparable cars and drivers together and one has AWD, the AWD car will smoke him every time.

@@therobert9521 for sure it's an advantage, all other things being equal. But since these are pretty much all modified, I'd guess the 2wd cars have stickier tires and other things to help with traction (or attempt to compensate with greater hp for the straights)

@@nthgth there's no amount of modification that can overcome a RWD car to a AWD car short of throwing slicks on it when they start from a dead stop in a one or two lap race. If the AWD car is any good at all, he'll have a 5 car advantage before the RWD car can get going.

@@therobert9521 What are u talking about, there is plenty of good RWD cars that would launch at cloesly the same speed these AWD did it in. + RWD are faster on the strip for a reason. Maybe 2 car advantage at best worst 3 and a half unless the RWD is running on stock tires from the 80's. + who even runs with 300whp+ on shit tires.

All u need is turbo,chip,exhaust, and downpipe and I got a badass tsi

Lol genius is pushing it... none of these cars performed well except the older 2nd maro on sawblade vette wheels

@@travisfowler8345 wym... That subie svx was dominating and so was that little kei car

@@imnottellinudontwannaknow3188 That wasn't a kei car, that was just an older 80s Civic. Kei cars were waaaay smaller.

No Problem! I've got to get back to this track at some point.

I was more amazed with the blue Trans Am that managed to keep up with him at 31:05 lol

Unless they have a Ls motor or maybe a Coyote. Lol

@Shaggie Rydez in the talon...4g63 turbo most likely.

I think that was the Eagle Premier

Ramsay R/C Yea it would have been wild I'm thinking. Grats to the Camaro on 2nd, reliability is a factor too.

Oh hell ya. Just wayched the whole thing. Id say muscle lost in this one. Damnit!! Lol

+B. Bok yea imports dominated this one.

The talon cheated all the way to the win damn

Old saying you have to finish to win the import van and talon BROKE (to much boost? you could hear that turbo screaming ) American muscle wins!

Thats life! lol

I was wondering how is it determined who gets the inside?

blipco5 I feel the same way it’s unfair

Its just a bit of fun man

If u watched some of them did win on the outside line but yes most had the inside which gave them the win

Lol I agree. Freakin stupid! At least give them 3 laps.

Carlos C. Same here! Looks just like my nova I'm trying find out the drivers name

Carlos C. You meant that two door grandma boat caprice right?

dptkaos420 Thank you!

And cant even line up straight

you mean like the subaru 31:05 yeah for sure.

Being a gm product, junk

I mean, those guys might've lost but they had a ton of fun

Except that a turbo awd got beat in this video
