HIGH RPM 1970 Chevy Nova 2024 Stick Shift Nationals Drag Racing Farmington Dragway Gerry Waddell

[@myretirementlife8731]

High RPMs and dry hops, just like the old modified eliminator days, what more could you ask for!

[@robj2704]

Never get tired of hearing a small cube screamer.

Modified Production, it’s just the best ! Thanks for covering this car and event !

[@EdwardDean-z4f]

Nothing like a small block Chevy revving to the Moon, dry hops and all

[@driverinterviews]

The dry hop caught me off guard haha it was great

[@howabouthetruth2157]

I love these small-cube Chevy SB engines. Back in the 70's & early 80's at the Baileyton Good Time Drag strip ( 1/8th mile ) in north Alabama, there was this cat who had a black late 50's Vette running a 301 cu. in. screamer. I watched him run for at least 6 yrs, and absolutely nothing could touch him. I remember one night during semi-finals, he missed a gear and STILL drove around the other car to win. On that rough track ( it was fairly rough back then ), he played hell keeping it in the groove all the way down. Unless he broke something, he always won the event in his class. That little engine in that old Vette was a monster.

Been to the Good Time Strip a few times 👍👍

[@howabouthetruth2157]

@@douglascooper1987 Like the name implies, we used to have a lot of good times there. But I haven't been back there since 1984 I think, when I moved back to east/central Florida.

[@scotdeane5024]

He even built that 277ci. that was the most popular size engine in the late 70's to late 80's for modified eliminator / production. I love to see this.

[@douglascooper1987]

Small Cubes, Heavy Flywheel, and 3 Pedals, Means FUN‼️😁

[@randyriggs5463]

Love that launch! Love small blocks.

[@Martin750hp]

Stick Shifts for Life For Life Stick Shifts ---FOREVER! First factory small block the chevy 265ci. Punched to 277ci punch & stroked to 277 ci. Screaming the whole 1/4 mile.

[@jsteganius6969]

Man.means business! 😊😊😊😊

[@patrickwendling6759]

Very cool

[@DavidPayne-j5z]

Now this is drag racing

[@larrylomascolo6289]

I love when you hear built by owner a 20 yr. project 277 c.i. shift a 9,200 yaaa hooo

[@aady4697]

I’ll be at that race next year, I bet I could drive every car in the staging lanes there but I bet there’s only about 10 guys there that could drive mine.

[@DG38594]

They are fun to watch, but running after those guys is hell. They tear the starting line all to hell lol

[@wil8115]

love love love those screaming small blocks. any info on that fox at the end? he was haul'in az.

[@taterkuhn5048]

I believe the Foxbody at the end used to run a 427W combo.

[@GearJammer428]

That's my son in the mustang. That motor is a 372 SBF. We turn that one 10k too. It HAS had a 418 in it...

[@tenthousanddays2103]

Nice !

[@4077661466jp]

Wow didn't see this coming from 277ci !!! Impressive

[@Mexicantours]

My old 283 screamed.

[@TT64NOVASS]

What stroke is it , if you dont mind me asking , i have some very nice SB2.2 drag race heads for the near future .

[@helpful5539]

277 using a 4.03 bore would be about 2.7 so that is probably what he is running. A little less if it is 4.06 bore. Nice stroke if you want to run those kind of rpms.

[@b1657568]

Did he try not to break out at the line?

[@jamescaneda9515]

I still have my 215 cui Olds all aluminum engine.

[@otiscarlwhite8745]

Watching that car from behind, every time it made a shift it gained some real estate

[@FastPaull]

Dry hops just aren't necessary with modern tires.

[@bobjons7]

DAMN….that car makes beautiful music…sweet car!

[@michpatriot9097]

SoooooooooSICK!!!!!!

[@jimthiel478]

Drag racing way it should be.. no box crap there
