Mid 1960's Drag Racing Clips
Sorry for the bad audio from the 2 to the 4-minute mark
This is a fair use video

Fantastic! Right out of my era. I was at some of those events and raced at Indy in 74 and 75!

[@danielcortez8309]

Got to love those old rail dragsters smoking their tires halfway down the track! 👍

[@Anarchy-Is-Liberty]

Tom Hoover? Is that the same Tom Hoover of the Show Time funny car? Damn, I guess I didn't realize he'd been around that long! Learn something everyday.

[@DavidLee-no9uc]

I attended the drags back then!

[@brianiswrong]

Thank you for the upload. I have never seen one car actually starting behind the other car with extra distance to run,and both leaving on the green 🤔

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool, really enjoyed!! 👍👍👍

[@ThomasDeLello]

That doesn't look like Harrison Jacob's "Bo Weevil" at [2:44]. Actually belongs to Ray Godman. Harrison was the driver, Ray was confined to a wheelchair.

The future - EV class, silent, no one there or cares. Seriously, what fun it would’ve been to go to those race days.

This was going on back when I was a young kid. My cousin lived out there and he would film on 8:mm camera. When we would go out to visit l would get to watch what he had filmed it was the same car’s you have here!

[@timbowers1]

Dad started taking a friend & I to So Cal drag races, beginning in 64' (after much pleading). Irwindale, Lions, OCIR, OMS, Bakersfield, and yearly comp tickets to the Winternationals. Plus body surfing legendary beaches....not a bad childhood atall ✌😎. Tyvm for another great video (any chance of AA/FA's from early on?? 🤔)

I grew up in a small town in Wyoming my first live drag race was at Belle Fourche South Dakota. It was a small track and I raced my 70 AMX there when I was 18 years old in 1976. We had a dirt track 1/4 mile oval in Newcastle that my brother drove a 57 Ford Fairlane modified stock. I was only 10 and got to hang out at the track a lot.

That's a young Don (The Snake ) Prudhomme in the click bait , He was called the snake because he shifted gears as fast as a snake can strike

[@homemovies6102]

I am guessing you didn't watch the video like around 7:32

[@DT-abcd]

Chrysler firepower was in many dragsters

well it started off as a great video untill that annoying ass music started playing wow what a way to ruin a great video😭😭

[@daleshotrodshop]

I had no choice there was music that was copyrighted at that point of the video that KZbin wouldn't allow me to use. I put that crappy music over it to make it so I could post this video. It is only a little over a minute of music.

[@zladatv]

*👍супер и привет от тренера по футболу!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-!!!!!-*

[@sabre-ub3op]

Good ol days but the car wasn't that good

[@papaburf7275]

Great video footage ruined by stupid music

[@daleshotrodshop]

Sorry for that few minutes of footage with the crappy sound. If there is any background music in the original footage KZbin will nail me for copyright infringement, so I have to add some additional sounds to make it unrecognizable.

[@bumbum3023]

wdym the music takes you back
