The 55 that ended up in the weeds got lucky. Glad it stayed rubber side down.

Love these cars! They are definitely iconic. And I think the challenge of making something with the aerodynamics of a cow barn go fast, appeals to a lot of drag racers.

Excellent content! These cars originally gave me the horsepower fever. My father had a 55' Chevy with a tilt front end, 327 SBC , it was featured in car craft magazine. Every time I build a shoebox now it makes me wonder how some of the younger generation doesn't want muscle cars, this is real racing.

This is kinda like porno for old guys like me, go back. play, go back, play. That '55 orange wagon looked like a bullet off the line. I had a '57 in the late '60s with a 283, solid lifter cam and if the tach was accurate it would wind to 7000 RPM no sweat and I didn't have any mercy on it. It was a damn screamer!

All dragstrips should be 1/4 mile again. 1/8 miles not a race. My opinion anyway. Still lots of 1/4 mile tracks it's lots more fun running 1/4 mile tracks. looks like a couple of good tracks in the video.
@ronwest79304 жыл бұрын
I guess insurance at racetracks has something to do with it. I've only raced on 1/4 mile myself.1/8 It kind of limits top speeds.
