Drag Racing Nostalgia Super Stock cars at Byron Dragway back to 60s Glory Days

[@shanefrancis3458]

I love the backround music, showing off those bad ass cars!

[@neverspreadjamonabadjer8459]

These old Super Stock cars are absolutely gorgeous!!!

[@kenz5469]

A lotta classic Mopar right there!

[@moparedtn]

It's pretty darn awesome that these folks still run these cars HARD, knowing how rare and how valuable they are. Hats off to 'em.

[@AutoMotoCha9L]

I met them yesterday at our local raceway Route 66 filmed all day.

[@glorialotz3333]

All beautiful cars recall an era when drag racing was actually interesting.

From Australia I am an avid Super Stock lover, all the books & magazines I csn get my hands on I have, Tee Shirt etc just love these old factory built purpose built quarter mile bruisers. Unfortunately very very few share my enthusiasm here in Australia, it's an American thing. As a one eye Mopar lover I have a 1970 VG 770 Hardtop Hemi Chrysler similar to a Dodge Dart but an Australian version. After 3 years of restoration almost complete it will resemble a Super Stocker USA style, & this will be my daily driver. Nothing beats old school muscle, awesome video great work envious of you for actually being there. Louis Kats from Australia

[@AutoMotoCha9L]

Thank you sir!

[@HemiSlant6828]

You Aussie car guys do some absolutely insane shit. I want to send my 225 Slant Six down to Australia one of these years just to see what all can be done to it.

[@ButterbeanThe]

Love the music, the cars, the whole damn video! Thank you!

[@AutoMotoCha9L]

Thank you!

[@thatfordguy2268]

Now these are Muscle Cars! 😀 👍

[@AutoMotoCha9L]

Real deal!

[@VirginianSpencer]

Great job showing BOTH sets of timing lights after every race.

[@jeremystrickland7767]

Awesome video fellas love the muscle cars

[@AutoMotoCha9L]

Thank you!

[@curtnicholson7771]

I just love seeing our local Byron Drag Strip and Great Old Drag Cars featured in a Great video. Ya gotta love it.. To bad there is not more of a crowd though.

[@AutoMotoCha9L]

I was curious too not too many spectators it could be because of location? Byron is one of my favorite.

[@jeffspierling4729]

The heat index was over 100 that weekend, so the crowd was down from previous years

[@johncalaway4446]

I wished I was there. I am a big Mopar fan but I loved the title of that Ford Repeat Offender. It was great seeing these 417 Wedge engines.

[@torobravo8023]

Good old memories

great video!

[@garymckee8857]

This is the way drag racing should be.

[@AutoMotoCha9L]

Agree!

[@paulseabrook8179]

2 Ford's. 2 Chevy's. And a bunch of angry Mopars! Good luck with that 😄

I wonder what was in the 64 Chevelle for an engine

[@jeffleblanc8850]

My favorite mopar always wanted a 63 to 65 Plymouth or dodge with a wedge in almost had one wen I was 16 but missed out on it a 65 polara I guess I should have been more persistent but I never found one and then wen I came across another it was a ex drag car and was in mint condition it was all set up for racing but the guy that owned it had a nervous breakdown and would not answer the door he lost a few marbles over something I went back and tried the door again to try and buy it but no answer then I heard he died and the car disssapered now I’m 61 and health problems so will never own one but sure is nice to admire them I’ve had all kinds of mopars over the years but never go to own a 63 to 65 I would of even took one of the lancers a little homely but to me beautiful oh well that’s life so I’ll look at them on you tube and admire all these lucky people that own them

[@AutoMotoCha9L]

Thanks for sharing your story!

[@daveryan4353]

I wish I could find pictures of my Next Door Neighbor's car the Wee Three it was a 1962 or 1963 Ford Falcon that he raced at the Byron Drag Way in the 70s I Was a Kid Back then But will always remember his car. His Name was Lyle Willem .

[@AutoMotoCha9L]

Byron is one of my favorite race tracks so far.

[@loganferris5771]

Where and when was this? The very first car in the video used to belong to my uncle before he passed!

[@AutoMotoCha9L]

This was at Byron Dragway IL Glory Days filmed last year during summer time

[@RSDX99]

I like nostalgia racing but none of these cars ran that quick back in the day. 13's was the norm for the top Super Stockers.

[@AutoMotoCha9L]

Some of these cars are way faster then modern

[@baird5776mullet]

B.S. mid to low 11's for the Hemi 66 winter nationals,13's were stockers.

[@VirginianSpencer]

Hell, I ran a 13.12 in B Stock. And the National record holder beat me by a fender.

@@jackkidd8438 Not true,do you know the difference between stock and super stock?

John Grinwold, Rich Berlisk, C'mon back east next August to Beaver Springs for Flashback Friday. We'll get Atwood's car, Flashback, Pose's Thunderbolt, and the Macione Bros. Ford Lightweight running together.

A flag start is stupid when there's a perfectly good christmas tree.

[@williamharmon3076]

I guess this was a mopar fest didn't see much else but that's okay enjoyed the video.

[@AutoMotoCha9L]

Thanks for watching!

[@johnparker1290]

Next time turn the music down a little - It was just a little above of the sounds of the engines at the beginning...

[@davidking8968]

Big block mopars are my music

[@AutoMotoCha9L]

Louder is better

[@kerryblueher3147]

Augh, might as well be bracket cars, no 4 speeds.
