Top Fuel Vintage Drag Racing Bakersfield California 

Nothing like high rpm supercharger whine. Best sound in motorsports.

Yes, sir! Thank you!

Not necessarily, those cars were safe at the speeds and E.T. they were running. The reason for the changes were the guys with deep pockets pushing these cars beyond there limit. As speeds increased and E.T.'s decreases the deep pocket guys lobbied for rule changes and totally "F"d that class up. Then the NHRA Nazis got involved. They have even put restrictions on the cacklecars to the point they have there own event at Irwindale once a year. Whether or not they still show up or, at least in the numbers they use to, at the Hot rod reunions I don't as I quit going 1 year before they started roping off the areas where the cacklecars would their static start up. These cars had no computers and no throttle stops and were the definition of simple. Notice the lack of big ugly canard wings but the cars still went straight....

Not just old cars do that, a few years ago my brother got a video at Woodburn that wobbled so much you couldn’t see it at one point

Their cool but let's say the engine blows up all the fire just blows into your face not exactly safe at all

Go back to playing checkers dude....all forms of racing has risks. The biggest danger these drivers faced in the day were clutch explosions. With the clutches and safety equipment upgrades these cars had, this was the 90's don't forget, these were much safer than what they ran in the 60's early 70's. These cars in this video including the breather masks and top end supercharger whine completely brought back that vibe and era. The only thing missing were the push starts....like I said in my previous comment the guys with the deep pockets ruined it as well as the guys in nostalgia funny car....it's not old school anymore just a facade

YEP, THE NEW "OLD" CARS LOOK LIKE CRAP. WHY EVEN BOTHER ?

Agreed!

i mean it's not good to be pumping to much shit into our atmosphere but goddamn it is fun

well, think about it.. If they did , they would not go straight.

Yes 4 inches taller

You have no idea what your talking about, my father has two top fuel front engine nostalgia dragsters and we ran 75% to 85% we would mix accordingly every pass.
