Drag Racing Classic Cars Nostalgia Super Stock at Chicago Raceway

[@Jerrodswmhr]

Great video. Keeping organic drag racing alive. I had the honor and dream of campaigning an LO23 for two seasons. Both Ramchargers and Akron Arlen prepped my car. Former Dick Oldfield (Motown Missile) ride. It's great that the LO23 and BO29 continue on. Thanks for remembering the great earth shakers from back in the day.

[@carloschavez5368]

That was pure racing at its best when the manufacturers introduces their big motor for 1964- 1965 to go out racing in super stock classes, awesome to see i love those days

[@AutoMotoCha9L]

I try to follow that team as much as i can. My favorite cars so far.

[@francfurian8215]

I know I've said it before but I love this show. The 60's & 70's was when drag racing was at it's best. Very well done.

[@randyelliott9152]

Lion's Dragstrip.....Saw some great racing there..but for this teenager in L.A. in the 60's it meant Tuesday Night Run what ya' brung e.t.bracket racing,5 bucks,and 3 passes through the same lights you saw The Snake and the Mongoose race through the week before,except for the war....a great time to grow up.

[@60viking]

that first car the thunderbolt sure shook us up at chrysler. I worked there and in engine development and we had to get to work to beat the ford. those were great days.

[@sinnerssaint4712]

I know I'm late but, love to hear stories about the development of the 406

If you had anything to do with the 440 you did a good job I used to spank the Chevrolet crowds ass every Sunday at the racetrack with my 70 challenger with the 440 tunnel ram, 727 with heavy duty Borge Warner parts and 413 gear!

[@thewaywardwind548]

I had one that was born with a 318 and I wanted some more giddy-up. I was able to find a 426 wedge from a Chrysler that had been wrecked. I got the motor and transmission and put them in the little Sport Fury. Single AFB, Crower cam and Doug's headers. I do dearly love the '60s MoPars.

[@BunneRabb]

Honest question here, if I may. Can somebody tell me how, when doing a burnout/tire warm-up, they get the rear tires to spin 'til they start to smoke while the front wheels don't move? Thanks.

[@johnnytenjobs]

They can lock the front brakes without actuating the rears. Called line lock. I don't know if you push the pedal then shut a valve to hold the fluid pressure in the front, then let the pedal go.

[@BunneRabb]

@@johnnytenjobs THANKS : )

[@nathanadrian7797]

@@johnnytenjobs Push the brake pedal, hold the line lock button and release the brake pedal. the front brakes will hold as long as you hold the button. Mine was on my 4 spd stick and I held it with my middle finger.

God awful drag racing footage - - get further back so you get the tree in the launch sequence - - pre-stage and stage then show the winning lane and both ETs if you can catch them. Forget locking in on the driver at the line catch the tree coming down and the launch ( or the big red eyeball if someone leaves early).

Chrysler had a right to object to the 'illegality' of SOHC Ford. There were only a hand full of them and they were hand-made. That's not at all a production engine or car is about. Rest assured that either Chrysler or GM could make a few outrageous custom engines and call them production if they wanted to, but that has never been nor should be considered representative of the available car market and how cars within that market compete. In other words, now as well as back then the average guy had no chance of getting one.

TimMartin62 I’m 71 now so I was around drag racing back then. My brother and I both raced Fords. He started out with a 62 406 Galaxy and then got a 63 1/2 427 Galaxy. I started with a 61 Starliner 390 HiPo. We did well in our classes. There were plenty of Dodges and Plymouth’s around too and they were tough, it usually came down to who got the best hole shot. They were always the underdog because the majority of the people and racers just didn’t like them. That’s why Dodge/ Chrysler was always the No. 3 car company in the country and still is to this day. They did build some badass engines.
