Seekonk Speedway Independence Day Thrill Show 2015 SPECTATOR DRAGS

[@plottwist1733]

I'm from the UK and I only stumbled upon spectator drags tonight and I have to say, I can't stop watching them. Such a wide range of cars and trucks, some that you'd never expect to see go up against each other. We do have run what you brung at dragstrips here in the UK, but you never see such interesting match ups. Man, I need to come to the US and watch them in person.

[@Good_ol_Butch]

I've been binge watching the spectator drags for the last 8 hours 😁

[@sessionnine546]

This car is amazing man! Nice work I’m not sure if you remember, but back in 01-02 there was an eagle talon with a two tone color, black and green. That thing was nuts.

[@RIVR4]

@@sessionnine546 That car was called "the green machine". It was owned by Leon Reitman out of NH. He still races from time to time with his awd mitsu swapped eagle summit.

[@sessionnine546]

That thing was mad! And so is the summit

[@MrNelsonButterscotch]

It sucks that they don't do inside and outside. Measured it on Google earth, the inside car will only travel about .25 miles, the outside car will travel .27-.29 miles, and have to deal with more force from the larger turns. All in all, there's about a 30m-60m (100ft-200ft) difference between the inside and outside cars when the race is over. The outside car would have to be considerably stronger than the inside lane car just to break even. Great video nonetheless, thanks for uploading it mate

[@LeeVai666]

+MrNelsonButterscotch wouldnt the outside be able to carry more speed since its line isnt as sharp a turn as the inside line? seems like its really up to the skill of the driver.

[@TheCptTrenchfoot]

True, and honestly there were only a couple of drivers who could even drive worth a damn. You probably noticed 90% of them overcooked it in turn one.

[@danvetor1365]

They should have the start line a little farther back to give the outside car time to slide into the groove.

Only driver out there who looked like he really knew what the hell he was doing. To bad the little box van, or whatever the hell that was, didn't get to run final. For holding an inside line, he was getting around the turns pretty consistently, too.

Good racing, better when I was younger, guys had the balls to drive them faster and harder, i watched a 1978 Z28 called Caveman wreck in turn 4 and hit the opening to pits, he slammed that wall big time. The reverse races are fun also, then Figure 8's are the best. I used to go threw the 1970's and1980's then my dad died when I was 16. Only went back once, a FRIEND entered the race then demolition derby. He got $20 for his car from some guy. He took his plates off. That's was in 1992 or 1993 era. I do how ever miss going their. I made a bunch of MONEY as a kid, I picked up all the cans and sold them. Best fireworks show besides in Vegas now. But just as good maybe better. We went a lot, free parking and cheap to get in.
