hard to imagine any other activity that could make me so excited. thanks for the ride.

[@manuelmartin8890]

I love watching people grab gears like that as the car gains on the other lane .awesome .

[@k_a_6291]

That was cool. Never ridden in '50's or '60's cars. Used to go by a classic car consignment shop years ago. Happened to be looking around one day while the shop attendant was arranging the cars one day. He fired up one of the beast. 💨Dugga da Dugga da Dugga da 😲Like a big ol kid, "Can I ride wit ya?" 😮"Sure." 🤤 Climbed in🤪. Only exited the garage, 1/4 block, turned right and into a showroom but I enjoyed all 26 seconds of the ride. 💪👍🚗

[@thewolf3889]

More More More ! I'll watch every pass you show. Thanks.

Santa Pod Raceway in England going by the signage. Santa Pod runs, or ran, a drag racing series called "Outlaw Anglia" for Anglia bodied gasser.

[@prostreetpop]

Michael Halsall Outlaw Anglia is a wicked class. So many cool rides in that class and with some of then now knocking on the 6 second pass.

[@martinsmotorchannel]

Outlaw Anglia and Santa Pod are still alive and kicking 👍👍

[@martinsmotorchannel]

The stick is my Key extension unit. I can’t reach the ignition with my harness on. It’s normally stored in the door pocket but on this run it fell out onto the floor 😂😂

[@samday6621]

[@pizzasubs]

that pole at the beginning after you did your burnout really thought that was going to become a problem, cause right after the burnout it almost got stuck under the gas pedal....

[@martinsmotorchannel]

Andrew Silva it's a piece of plastic tube I use to reach the ignition key. When I have the safety harness on I just can't reach the key. I store it between the seats but it worked it's was loose after the burnout.

[@martinsmotorchannel]

Hi Bill I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. It's not the easiest car to drive being such short wheelbase with a blown big block but it is fun. They say you should do something every now and then that scares you. Well this is it. Thanks 👍

[@davefiasconaro5681]

[@MrArbutusify]

Thanks for the offer but I think I'm too old to do that anymore. Back in 1973 I had a couple of friends with stock Anglias and I had a stock 1948 Austin A40 Dorset (2 door). Long sold off. BUT I still have my Austin J40. If you're not familiar with J40's check them out on line. . Bill in B.C. Canada

[@TwoLaneBlacktopProd]

So you mean the English Anglia powered with a Chevy motor beat another Chevy powered with a Chevy motor that weighs 2X what the Anglia weighs....

That bloody rod had the whole car and rolled under the pedal lol

[@2-old-Forthischet]

I miss my three pedal cars!

[@af4od02]

The launch seemed soft not a violent hit/shock. Is that because you need to load out the blower? He was really gaining on the 55, did he win. Thanks excellent video.

[@martinsmotorchannel]

Thanks for your comment. The soft launch is for two reasons. 1: it wheel stands really easily 2: I’m not a great drag racer 😂😂

[@TheGreenmeeny]

Cool, 4 speed too.

[@xelphinx]

Cool Cabin & would look TWICE as cool with some interesting AngliA or 'POPLAR' Horn emblem on the Steering Wheel. What are the ets? I'd like to See the OUTSIDE of it. Thanks 🏁

[@martinsmotorchannel]

Thanks. To date I’ve run a best of 11.24 which isn’t great considering the Blown Big Block Motor. It should run in the mid to low tens But as you can clearly see in the video I ain’t the best drag racer 😂😂

What is with the stick on the floor rolling around ?

[@martinsmotorchannel]

It’s just a plastic tube with a slot in the end. When I have the harness on I use it to reach the ignition kit. On this run it fell out from where I store it. No big issue 👍

NeilLB7 That's my key extension unit. When I have the seat harness on I can't reach the ignition key in the centre of the dash. I cut a piece of plastic tube And put a slot in it which fits over the key. It just fell off the seat when I did the burn out 👍

[@TargaWheels]

What did you clock on this run?

[@martinsmotorchannel]

TargaWheels I can’t remember on this actual run but it normally runs in the 11.20s at around 122mph. It would run a second quicker with a glide but then all the fun would be gone. Cheers.

[@TargaWheels]

That's what I was thinking. The car I had ran mid 12's with a Muncie. The guy that bought it from me couldn't do much better, put a powerglide in and got it in the high 11's.

[@danielleighton2553]

Had a 70 bug in high school was driving one day and a baseball rolled from under the seat and got caught under the brake pedal thankfully I was in a mall parking lot and only going 10 mph

[@whatzittooyah644]

You’re supposed to keep your foot planted when you’re running through the gears. To each his own I suppose. On the plus side, you won’t have to replace the clutch, or driveline components as frequently.

[@finallyitsed2191]

I *used to* have a T5 where I always planted the right foot. The optimal words are "used to." I just installed a TKO600, but fully intend to keep that right foot planted , so I hope this one holds up! BTW, it will buy you a good 2 seconds.

[@finallyitsed2191]

You want to talk about someone not knowing what they are talking about? That would have to be you Matthew Fogarty. You know absolutely nothing about me, what I know, who I am, or anything else for that matter. I will tell you, on the other hand, what I know about you. You are an arrogant, rude, jerk. You write as though you are some sort of authority on this subject, which you may or may not be, but you felt some need to interject your ignorant sarcasm to show everyone how clever you are in comparison. It actually showed quite the opposite. How about this, instead of going around on KZbin spouting this garbage, you might want to reflect on what is causing you to use this method to make yourself feel better. I doubt that is working either.

[@finallyitsed2191]

Ok Matthew, I think I see where you are coming from and believe that I can now appreciate your “swift and harsh response” to my relatively pleasant comment on someone else’s video. You called it as you saw it, "drivel.” I also noted where you said, “I can read people real good so sue me!!” See? I can relate. Now, with my weakness and naivety aside, I would like to clarify a few things that we may both be on the same page. I’m not a kid. I won’t tell you my age because you’ll just tell me it’s time to take my Geritol and go to bed, but I think maybe you could appreciate what my “drivel” was based upon with a little more information; I designed and with my brother, built a state of the art 1/4 mile NHRA sanctioned facility that hosted NHRA Divisional events amongst hundreds of other events. This was with direct coordination with Wally Parks, NHRA President, Lex Dudas, Southeastern Division Director, and Bill Holt, NHRA’s Division 2 Manager for Gainesville, Florida, not to mention the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, other jurisdictional departments, and many others. Under construction, we did have general contractors, but I also was on a bulldozer or scraper, laying pipe in a ditch, driving piles, surveying, and doing whatever needed to be done to make sure this came to fruition. I have been involved in drag racing since around 1965. I say “around” so you still don’t have enough information to tell me to go to bed. No BS as you’d say, I have probably built more engines than you have teeth in your head. I’m really not an ignorant herb. And, for the record, I schooled numerous new racers during test and tune nights on how to get their cars ready for tech inspection, how to stage, how to gauge the lights, and how to shift and drive to get more out of their cars. And yes, believe it or not, many of them picked up at least two seconds when someone helped them hone their racing interests. Your uncle was right, you were just wrong on this one. Hey, we all make mistakes. That's ok too. I’m hanging loose for the rest of the night on your recommendation.

[@finallyitsed2191]

Matthew, I have skinned a lot of knuckles since I was twenty something and I plan on skinning many more. Just remember, hard work makes the man. Thank you for your apology, I too apologize. Enjoy life.

Another one who doesn’t know how to drag race with a 4 speed. Never lift off the gas just stand on it and stomp on the clutch while shifting. You might have to steer to the left a little while shifting to keep the car straight. Oh, almost forgot, don’t miss a shift or you’ll break parts. That’s the only way to have fun with a 4 speed at the track.
