Grassroots Drag Racing at the Airfield || NZ Gassers & Outlaw 71

[@pierredecine1936]

As a U.S. Resident Floridian - I totally enjoyed this. Love all the mixed-up GM Models ...

[@musclecars.universe]

That's great to know, thanks Pierre!

[@pierredecine1936]

At Least they look to an American - I have a 1996 Caprice (Base Model) - final year Resto-Mod@@musclecars.universe

[@vincentlussier8264]

This brings back American drag racing to what it was before NHRA turned it into an unaffordable sport for people. Bring back the picnic style racing of the 60s !

[@musclecars.universe]

Such good times

[@z06doc86]

The early USA drag racing influence is striking. Takes me back to my early years. The only thing it lacks for me is Olivia Newton John.

[@musclecars.universe]

Yes indeed, afterall it all started in the USA and spread around the World like wildfire. Such a great period of pure freedom and creativity.

Awesome!!watching from Missouri

[@musclecars.universe]

Welcome to my channel Billy!

[@mikebaker9574]

I really enjoyed watching this video from USA. Glad you guys love drag racing as much as we do!!!!!!!

[@musclecars.universe]

It's one of the many thrilling sports we practice here in NZ. It is after all the land of bungy jump, jet boats and custom motorcycles!! 🇳🇿

[@eltoro6688]

That Sinister Black Chevy II Nova with the BIG Oddybuilt Alky blown motor is BADA$$

[@musclecars.universe]

That one will most likely be at another race next month, biggest event of the year. Stay tuned!

[@MartinMcMartin]

This channel is top notch coverage.

[@musclecars.universe]

Martin you're a legend, thank you so much! Glad to see my efforts paying off

[@MartinMcMartin]

Especially this grass roots stuff, even the big dogs had to start out somewhere, and I loved it when we raced at the Masterton airport many years ago so this is quite nostalgic.@@musclecars.universe

[@warrenwiechern345]

Thank once again dude for keeping us updated on what's hot in NZDRA! Keep up the good work!

[@musclecars.universe]

My absolute pleasure Warren and thanks for watching!

[@Godzillafan55]

Rather watch these guys then any new pro classes.

[@musclecars.universe]

Yeah same

[@christianbattestin9747]

So I noticed the three cars named after songs- Strange Magic ( ELO ), Runnin' On Empty ( Jackson Browne) and Ace Of Spades ( Motorhead.)

[@musclecars.universe]

yep great spotting!

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

[@blairread4414]

Number 8/71 NZ ❤

[@musclecars.universe]

You got it

[@v8trikebyers756]

The roof chopped nova was detuned to the max to run on this track. it was running 12lb boost usually 23-30lb

[@musclecars.universe]

Yes that is correct, if you watch the incar footage facing forward you may notice a safety device is installed on the throttle lever to limit its action and opening. Many cars had traction issues that day

[@v8trikebyers756]

I'm one of the crew

[@musclecars.universe]

@@v8trikebyers756 ohh true that! Thanks for the amazing day guys, it was great to meet you all

[@Ros-co]

Freaking Awesome video ❤

[@musclecars.universe]

Thank you!!

[@georgewilson9121]

great show

[@musclecars.universe]

Thanks George

[@TheBucketlistMob]

Love this content! We'll get there some day!

[@musclecars.universe]

Planning and having a vision can take you far. What are you guys building?

[@TheBucketlistMob]

@@musclecars.universe we've built two gassers. A 61 Ford F100 unibody. It has a small block with tunnel ram and a quick change rear end. Gathered parts to make it. Correct. The Fairlane is a big block with mechanical injection. Both built with period correct parts where possible. Both of them look like they came out of the past and we're always race cars. We're also building a land speed former NASCAR. And a turbocharged small block pinto. We have our hands full. Plenty of stuff to make content from

[@TheBFN]

Running on emty is freaking scary..i lov it ❤... Gassers are my fav hotrods.. Just so diff.. I went to alot of hotrod shows in the 80s and they thought it was so cool to make there cars so super pretty and nice 🙄... I like the old mean ugly cars way better.. That sound like a angry dragon..

[@musclecars.universe]

That car is so savage, it did 8sec passes before the owner turned down the boost. It still makes 1000hp and it's a force to be reckoned with

[@TheBFN]

@@musclecars.universe its a monster.. Ive wanted a henry j ever since i built the model car lol... But im planning on getting a 58 studebaker and putting a 383 stroker in it witu a 4 speed..car doesnt weigh nothin..it should fly

[@musclecars.universe]

Make sure the 4 speed is a Jericho gearbox, they're super sturdy and durable

[@owenallen5828]

Pity no times displayed.

[@musclecars.universe]

I know but hey, it's like the good ole times isn't it? Btw I spoke to the organizers and they're actually working towards getting some big LED displays at the deep end. Fingers crossed for next time!

[@Dave-ru3tt]

Another top vid bro- ❗️👌

[@musclecars.universe]

Legend! Thank Dave!

[@FrostyBob99]

Big Block Buick in The Bomb. I love Buick power. Too bad it costs cubic dollars to build one. Ouch 😂

[@musclecars.universe]

Haha cubic dollars is a new one, never heard of it

[@rockygilpen7951]

Loved all of the vehicles. But work on your camera skills. Thank you for the great video.

[@musclecars.universe]

Working on it!
