Gotta admire the engineers whose automobiles are alive and strong after 100years

[@leslietarboxjr4287]

Guys that was awesome. It is not every day that we get to see history being re-created as it was back then. Thank you so much for taking us back in time.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Excellent video! Today we've got access to unlimited information at our fingertips, but back then people had to figure things out for themselves. Lots of perseverance and trial and error went into building those early racers. What's even more impressive is just how far Alberta is from the early hotbeds of racing/hot rodding in the USA. They had to rely on their own ingenuity and determination to get things done. Thanks for keeping history alive!

[@camneilsen8234]

The look on Jim's face when number 19 nearly rolled off the axle lift !

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear camneilsen 😱 It was definitely a scary and very dangerous moment! Best regards, luck and health in particular.

[@anthonycarty9433]

A brown pants moment for sure . They didn't think to chock the front wheels after that though .

[@ellwoodblooz]

Yeah, I might have gone looking for a chock 🧀

[@andrewweston2253]

As a guy who races a Model A jalopy, I can attest to the fact that there's nothing like tossing old Henry steel around a dirt track! Love the episode!

[@xmo552]

How do I get in?

[@glennnickerson8438]

The speedsters should all have a Strong's Garage logo on them somewhere!😎

[@mattaustin2128]

A remarkable story from a remarkable time. The war which impacted everyone’s lives was over, there was hope for the future, if not a lot of money to be found. The massive postwar industrial boom was a couple of years away and people were trying to get back into a familiar way of life. Men who’d learned their trades, or honed their trades in the military had knowledge and enthusiasm, and turned tired cars which had only survived due to wartime shortages, into speed machines. The scrapping of war machines provided an unexpected bonus by way of parts and materials, especially lightweight seats as seen here! Thank you, Matt and Jim, for sharing such wonderful videos. As a proud patron of the channel, I’m glad to be able to offer a wee bit of support. Cheers from Australia!

[@hsimpson6581]

How cool is the famous Canadian sign painter! Fantastic job on that car. ❤😮

[@davidcoudriet8439]

Flames coming out of the exhaust is the coolest!

[@james.carty.9043]

Alberta home to some of the best dinosaurs in the world and these model T racers fit right in modern auto racing owes a great debt of gratitude to the men who built and raced these awesome cars not only in Canada but worldwide great seeing them.

[@seaglider844]

Like hearing and watching history in action. So glad that somebody had the foresight and cared enough to preserve these amazing time capsules!

[@robertwells6454]

This is so much more interesting than any Nascar race to Me. Seeing these fine machines get around this track is like watching history in motion. Very good content Guy's. This and CWM's are two of the best content creators on The Lube Tube. 👏👏👏👏👏 Keep up the great work.

[@johna1160]

Great trio of old Ford race cars. The fact that they all share local history on the track makes it even more special. Watching the race itself was a hoot. Think it's great that Matt gets into wearing period hat, helmet, coveralls, even the wristwatch! Still hoping to see Jim's Mark II getting some work done in the garage before long.

[@Awsom47Merc]

* Great Episode Gents. Younger folks aren't big on tradition. Which is a shame. People should respect the history as it's what got us to where we're at. Your channel stands for tradition and that's why I love it. Great cars and great history. You gents are so lucky to be able to work doing the things you love and respect. The watch is so special. What a present ! 👊😎👍

[@AcmeRacing]

I'd love to see a teardown of Scott Newstead's old T motor to see what ails it.

[@fpitteng]

I wish there was a way to give this a triple thumbs up! Great episode!

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

That was fantastic, fellas! Thanks so much for taking us to the races. More fun than anyone could imagine. Freedom at its height, before the regulators and outside money killed the fun.

[@GSXR750ization]

Love this. The hand painted advertising really sets them off! Thank you guys for making these videos.

[@36oldsaussiecoupe]

What a great show this morning. Keep doing what your doing it’s fantastic Racing history at its finest. Cheers lads 👍

[@russdavis1960]

Wonderful to see the T's out racing!!!

[@thomas5714]

That was awesome!!! As Matt said, as I was watching it I was thinking 'time tunnel' - - back to when men were men and women made sandwiches for them w/ a thermos of coffee.

[@johnscally255]

SUPER COOL to go back in time with the Model T racing.Thank You Jim & Matt CHEERS

[@MrShene123]

That Power Wagon is looking great.

[@rick74304]

Seeing those double maple leaf red&white’s flapping in the wind was pretty kick-a$$ ! Who needs T.R.O.G when we have you guys lol that sprint case is sweet too, cant wait to see what else you have in score. Hey Scott@coldwarmotors, you neeeeeed to get working on the 5 $ roadster buddy.

[@rustyrobinson8027]

[@stevenwithanS]

I thought 19 was going to head out the door by itself, lol. Great video, guys.

[@Tshade67]

Great video Gents! All of the history and wonderful cars always bring a smile to this old face. You guys are doing a superb job at keeping all of the automotive history in your area alive and well. My hats off to you. Thank you all for making these videos and sharing them with us. I can't wait to see more of the next installment of Alberta racing history!

[@MAC-ws8fz]

Absolutely OUTSTANDING! Send it to the Cannes Film Festival!

[@ronpat13]

Again, thank you both! I've always loved cars but, because of an accident about twenty years ago I don't see well enough to drive. So being able to watch the restorations and the care you give to all of your projects is a real treat. Cheers!

[@wilenelson1810]

Awesome!🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧

[@dickdaley9059]

Auto racing history flashback to a more meaningful time when money was tight and drivers were loose.👀🇨🇦

[@scotthandschug298]

[@johnwillia339]

More racing please !!!

[@cudaman-yq7pq]

The Model Ts are cool, and so is that old Dodge Crew Cab Truck in the background! :>)

[@Zillustration]

Fire-Breathing-Monster-Machines! That exhaust looks like an old German buzzbomb from the Blitz! 22:00

[@danielulz1640]

When I saw it belching fire, I thought "who's got the marshmallows?".

[@shedbythetracks]

wonderful!

[@mowguy1]

We have pig and ford races during our county fair in Tillamook oregon using model T since 1925.

[@awesumenergy]

Fantastic race footage! Thank you.

[@jfu5222]

A great presentation of early race cars, I'm your newest subscriber!

[@fluxburner1636]

Awesome video! Man I would have loved to hear all 3 running at the same time sitting in front of the shop. Keep up the good work!

[@MrShene123]

WOW that #4 is awesome.

[@knoester7714]

Good seeing those old races cars

[@talesofanasphaltjockey]

What a beautiful backdrop at that track... gorgeous !

[@johnelliott7375]

Glad you are having me back!😊

[@brianbethel9929]

Matt, Jim, love the show. I've said this before but you guys are living the dream. I saw model T racing in Ohio and was thrilled by it. Great fun. Enjoyed the video and keep up the great work. Cheers from Wisconsin

[@ratt727]

Great episode!

[@alecfromminnenowhere2089]

Looks like a lot of work, and what a blast you're having.

[@stevecr8934]

Watch is a piece of history. Dated. Wow I loved that race. What a blast it would be to drive one of those cars.

[@grantaldous]

Model T racing looks like a lot of fun! It's too bad I don't live on the prairies, I'd come and watch in person.

[@kerryg4119]

Wonderful and informative video. You two always come up with some interesting ways to present this information. Loved the race and seeing the cars. Can't wait to see how you present the next era of racing. Love to see that #4 car run.

[@PaulinesPastimes]

Racing one of those cars must be enormous fun. 😊👍

[@fritzcaddy]

Well done what a blast to see them on the track again.

[@RXRSawdustStation]

That was stinkin' fantastic! Great racers! Great race! That was fun! What's with that Stove Pipe exhaust? That was wild! 🤣 Thanks!

[@stephenjones1833]

I didn't expect those old Ts to get up to such good speed. Congrats!

[@danw1955]

Wow! What a cool piece of history! That guy with the T, that had the split exhaust, must have really been 'hopped up'. I'm surprised those old cast crankshafts would even stand up to a few minutes of that! He was lapping just about everyone there. Fun stuff.. thanks guys!😄👍

[@stevepeake433]

Such an informative and action packed video, thank you guys. It gives me continued enthusiasm to develop my T dirt track racer which for all the world looks like that red one you introduced. Great seat of the pants stuff!

[@deancloninger2801]

Here some bonus points

[@Praterphil]

Great video, thanks guys for doing these!

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

That was pretty cool! Having fun racing T's.

[@gilbertwashburn7095]

I love the header on number 19 that's really high tech for the time

[@James-xo4uv]

I like the exhaust pipe on the number 19 car, a stove pipe

[@johnelliott7375]

I will be praying that you are able to get them all in the institution that I call your garage. That's priceless history and just a great thing to get to see you guys and your awesome 😎 garage have and showcase those priceless pieces of history and running them is the icing on the cake 🎂

[@JourneymanRandy]

Dad's right , you need electric stert. at 20:11. Love the old race cars they look awesome.

[@kensherwood4866]

Another fantastic video and a trip back in time to the world of the T. Those racers were simple but looked like a lot of fun. Thanks for posting

[@shadetreemechanicracing22]

I started my career as a Ford mechanic. Fix Or Repair Daily. And no I wasn't working on new model T's

[@wlogue]

Thanks boys! more racing history please!

[@bryduhbikeguy]

That was the "Bee's Knees" of auto racing! Thank you for sharing it with us.I hope we get to see more Peter Anderson in Canada soon too.

[@maggs131]

This was simply awesome and exactly as you put it, a time machine. This looks like so much fun. Next time you race these beauties we need some POV footage. ❤

[@ellwoodblooz]

Looking forward to learning about the sprint car AND the stock car😎👍🍺

[@scottholtzman3161]

Ol’ race cars are quite interesting. The rear jack is cool. Thanks for the race 👍

[@curbmassa]

Hey Jim, if you haven`t already, check out the new Chip Foose clip doing a mild restyling on a `56 Continental but don`t tell Scott, he`ll show up with the angle grinder and a stack of cutting wheels, hell in his eye and his hat on backwards.

[@steve-gp1nc]

That was really cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@lorneomasta9559]
