Watch more awesome action playlists here on our channel. A drag race is an acceleration contest, on a track, or dragstrip, that begins from a standing start between two vehicles over a measured distance. Drag races are a series of such two-vehicle, tournament-style eliminations. They drift, burnout, speed, in nhra or ihra, with a lot of horsepower. #racing #dragracing #gassers

ScottRods are BADASS!!

[@leesherman100]

Thanks for all the kind words Dawn. Most of us are still truckin'. We lost Jess Tyree a while ago however. Merry Christmas from Armstrong Racing 7281 and all the racers who hold nostalgia racing so close to the heart.

Outstanding video Drag racing at it's best thanks for sharing.

[@DragStripRiot]

Thank you very much, Lou!

[@leesherman100]

We miss you at the March Meet Dawn. Love from all the door car guys!

[@DragStripRiot]

You're going to make me cry, Lee! I miss you all too, and cherish our memories covering each and every one of you "door car" guys for the Gazette and on my web site....from AA Supercharged down to D/Gas. What a great, great group of people! I can see all of the waves to me when any of you would make eye contact with me in the water box. Ed Carey, Rob Patten. Jess Tyree, etc...all of you! The VRA was a terrific era. Maybe we'll make it out there again some day. Thanks for dropping the note. Merry Christmas!

So cool, Dawn! I love how you guys try all the different camera points of view. Love the gassers. I was fortunate to get to see them when they were running in the '60s. They actually used some of my vintage videos to promote the inaugural Meltdown Drags. I need to get over there to see them. Thanks for all your awesome videos. Keep it up! John

[@DragStripRiot]

Thank you, John! You should make an effort to go next year. With Byron Dragway up for sale now, I am hearing that the event is supposed to go with it. Nothing is concrete, but I would go before an unfortunate situation brings that event to a close.

[@ThePponu]

Always great to see the gasser class up and going despite the powers that tried to change it in the very early 70's.

[@DragStripRiot]

You bet! Thank you!

[@robertrhodes9123]

a Cook but no Crook. they're both great! tks.👍 for sharing

[@DragStripRiot]

Thank you, Robert! We all miss Blew By You, too! He'll be back stronger than ever!

I've been drag racing since the early '90's. Seen my fair share of drag racing venues, the Meltdown is the best nostalgia meet out there. But be careful, it''s growing, and if you start trying to please everyone, it'll implode and be just another memory. The Meltdown doesn't need "winners" or any other type of trophy handout saying somebody is better than someone else. The ground is level at this event for every drag racer participating. It's for the guy or gal that "gets it". If you don't understand what I'm writing, than you're part of the problem.

[@DragStripRiot]

Very well said, Thomas. Thank you!

[@NeilLB7]

I've been to two Southeast Gassers events. Have to say...those folks are pretty good at nostalgia 60's gasser events. Especially like this years 60's Super Stock class. Especially when you consider NO times or MPH shown on the board. Just a win light. Why...because they aren't recreating the 60's. They are re-enacting the 60's.

[@jiveturkey9993]

That smoke plume way off in the distance is a nuclear powerplant if anyone is weird enough to wonder like me.

[@crazykellywfo4240]

Hey man what's happenin. Well i just finished my second novel last night, writing is about the only way i deal with my suicidal depression . I've had this all my life and no it is not fun or enjoyable , making people laugh , like you make this crazy twisted ride a little more easier, living life a quarter mile at a time. Merry christmas man . thanks for the vids , yur such a draaaaag.

[@DragStripRiot]

Dude...I think we all need creative outlets to deal with the unpleasant nature of depression. I'm glad you are channeling yours to paper (or electronic), and I'm happy that you have an outlet here to view things you enjoy and that I enjoy creating. Merry Christmas and a very Happy and safe New Year to you! Dawn

[@crazykellywfo4240]

What do you think of my book , assuming of coarse you,ve had the time to read it. " I DOUBT IT " , i hope it makes you laugh , most of the books insanity was just crashing through my head , other good news i just finished the follow up to the first , this one,s about how me and alice met back in 1969 , it's full of hot rods drag racing , and circle track madness , and naked women . ahahahahaha. happy new years to you too, and don't you dare quit filming , if i may quote THE GRINCH , if you stop making drag racing videos i'll hunt you down and gut you like a fish , " just kidding " , thanks for laughing at my insane sense of humor.

[@DragStripRiot]

It was just a few short events later, and that kid in the green Willys bit the wall on another wild burnout. He was okay, and the car is being fixed and readied for 2018. :-)

[@pleximars]

what is that in the distance, looks like a cloud generator....LOL

[@DragStripRiot]

Pretty much...it's the nuke plant.

[@pleximars]

thanks, charged air, better than nitro....LOL

[@1776vtgmb]

How was the crowd, compared with last year?

[@DragStripRiot]

Friday and Saturday had the most people I have ever seen there. They were mowing down extra bean fields to accommodate parking needed on Saturday. A friend arrived the same time he always has on Saturday, and waited 45 minutes to get in. The crowd hung in there right up until the pin-up contest, which in my opinion is a momentum killer. By the time the evening portion of the show kicked off at 8, it had thinned out quite a bit. The heat/humidity didn't help either. Great event.

[@crazykellywfo4240]

'' SHORT WHEELBASE , WITH GOBS OF HORSEPOWER , STRAAAAANGE THINGS HAPPEN." if you think you,re in total control , take that peacepipe outta you,re mouth.

[@DragStripRiot]

Ha!
