Vintage Ramp Truck Drag Car Haulers 

Everything used to be so much cooler and bad ass back in the day

Thanks for sharing those were some nice haulers

Great times, great sport, fun fun fun. Those of us that are old enough to have been there in person really relate to this stuff. Wish I had a time machine.

LOT OF GREAT MEMORIES....SUPER VIDEO !

I remember as a kid "T.V. Tommy Ivo's" hauler with the two rails and the corvette on top at Fremont....

This is so many levels of awesomeness! Thanks for gathering and sharing!!!

Now THESE are race cars, not the fiberglass fakes of today where one looks just like the other

So many different beautiful color schemes id settle just to have all these trucks and cars in toy size 🤗

Great video with some classy haulers. Mostly professionals tho. Wasn't too many little guys in the day that could afford those set-ups. We were always driving ours, then beating them, and hoping they wouldn't break, so we could get home. Love the twilight zone hauler, with the frt of the rail hanging over the cab. American ingenuity at its best. (LOL).

I remember (as a 10 year old) getting up early for some test n tune at Colton dragway on the Saturday before for the Winternationals . Then on the way from Colton to Pomona we sheared an axle hub on the trailer and sat on the side of the 10 fwy in Pomona for almost 8hrs. Finally got it fixed and we were lucky to make the show with only one Sunday morning pass. The first round we won but the diggers chute failed to open and ended up on the approach road to Bracket Field airport with too much frame damage to continue. My uncles spent all the time on the dragster and no time on the POS trailer. But I would not trade those days for anything in the world. I still dream of owning a ramp truck after seeing them pass us when we were sitting there on the side of the road with a broken trailer

0:34 and 2:19 Lagana's Twilight Zone top fuel on a budget, everyone else had eighteen wheelers they came on a ramp truck ...gotta love an underdog.

The sixth one is a neighbor of my cousins, great rig and good people!!

Every single one would make great model kit subjects... Are you listening model car companies! These would sell like hotcakes.

Snake and the mongoose are prob my two favorite funny cars I guess cause we had them as hot wheels wen kids

THANKS always had a interest in them 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🐺🏁🏁🏁🏁🇺🇸

@32 seconds that's the Lagana's family top fueler, "Twilight Zone". Look close. This is modern day. The 18 wheeler rig behind Lagana is the Werner team, with Clay Milican driving. I raced IHRA during that time and watched them come in with their fueler strapped to the ramp truck, motor covered with plastic, parking between 18 wheeler rigs with million dollar sponsors. Bobby Lagana Jr. wanted to be the first top fueler to run 4 seconds off a ramp truck. He was. 2003 at Martin Michigan...making his ramp truck famous...

Some teams need 4 semi's nowadays. This was the time that if you didn't win you might not have enough money to eat.

2:37 westborn chrysler plymouth grafting a van body to a semi cab''''''''ingenious! great vids count

Guess I'm old, remember seeing triple nickel and the hauler at the track

Now we’ve got dull colored crew cabs and dull colored aluminum enclosed trailer transporting our cars. I with it was the 70’s. 😔

I met Tommy Ivo when I was a kid, still got the signed picture, good looking trucks ! 👍

I remember passing them on the hiway as kid and learning to drive met maney at the tracks

Ya baby!..................THE complete package!

I grew up in the wrong years

Omg this is so freekin badazz!!!

Some innovative haulers back then,, Like everything else,, simpler & better. Now it's all BS same with NASCAR

Back when trucks weren't computerized crappy dumps

I was born in the wrong time period
