The Race of Gentleman 2019: Santa Barbara Drags

TROG West was something out of this world! A total clash between crazy cruisers, and badass race cars!
What will most likely be a once in a lifetime deal, this event was amazing!
We use a RED One MX, Nikon D500, and a Gopro Hero, all paired with a DJI Ronin.

And on this day not a single speed limit was broken.

[@BriscoMedia]

I cant talk too much, driving 50 in my Stock Model A seems sketch. It was fun though!

[@jerrytee2688]

No doubt.

[@greynolds17]

its more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow

[@Pedroisanickname]

This is a beautifully filmed video. RIP Dick Dale 5/4/37 - 3/18/19

[@BriscoMedia]

Thank you!

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Respect

[@powerwagon3731]

Very cool. I knew it was going to be a great time when I heard the surf music. Thank You Dick Dale and Link Wray for the awesome tunes! You guys will always live on.

[@BriscoMedia]

Surf music is here to stay my man!

[@stuartb9323]

Thanks for posting the video. From the east coast, n was very curious how it all went down. Long live TROG

[@BriscoMedia]

Much love! Hoping to make it out to the real TROG sometime, cheers!

[@TheCanadianBubba]

No sand ? Gave a like, great to watch, thank you for putting this together !

[@BriscoMedia]

Unfortunately not, most of the cars would get stuck. Thanks for watching!

[@johnbecay6887]

where's the flag girl?

[@BriscoMedia]

Busy :/

[@luchacefox259]

Hes there.

[@clausmadsen6754]

It’s 2019. Too high risk of someone finding her role inappropriate

[@Bravo955]

Its Cali the people running the even are probably SJW´s

[@RumbleBones]

No California girl to throw the flags? Weak.

[@nickolasvicentini9675]

Perfect color grading! Love this video!

[@BriscoMedia]

Thanks Nickolas!

[@adrianstanciu8876]

Great race - lovely video!👏😍

[@deaterk]

Beautifully shot, and as another viewer mentioned, the color is gorgeous! Not sure if BRISCO Media or someone from TROG will be able to answer; Why is the drag strip on a slight curve? (an illusion of camera angle?) and why is a dude flagging the starts? (Traditionally its a lovely young lady...as it was for the east Coast TROG) Love it!!!... wish I could have been there, thank god for KZbin.

[@BriscoMedia]

Hey there Ken, thank you! As far the strip, that was the only spot in Santa Barbara that they would allow us to race on. Let alone back in the day, the roads weren't perfect either! The flagger was a fill in, as the normal lady wasnt able to come. Thanks for watching!

[@dirtydave2691]

The young man flagging must be in Hella good shape! Very cool. I grew up near OCIR and when there were Top Fuel or Funny Cars there you could hear it for miles!

[@BriscoMedia]

Oh it must've been a hell of a workout!

[@merrimanindustries]

Wow love what you've done with the colors here!

[@lloydapplegate9879]

Very, very cool guys the way it's supposed to be.👍

[@BriscoMedia]

Old school hot rods, and old school racing. Gotta love it!

[@shatter71]

I can't exactly put it into words but the video image quality/style is captivating. I was excited until I saw mention of a RED One MX and knew then that I'd never shoot such spectacular video. I'd still love to see a tutorial going over how you shoot and get the video to look so great even if I'd never be able to do it myself.

[@BriscoMedia]

Thank you! It's hard work, but most of it is in the post production. I'll be in Vegas next month for a few shoots, I'll shoot a tutorial!

[@tyee4u]

You couldn’t find one girl in Santa Barbara to drop the flag? Haha. Great video 👍

[@murphym.5915]

'twas 'tinkin the same damn thing lad

[@BriscoMedia]

Wasnt my choice, unfortunately.

[@BriscoMedia]

Still was fun though!

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Love it

[@BriscoMedia]

Great video!! It looked like a fun event to attend! Did you know about the car show in Orcutt on the 16th? It’s in a church parking lot by McDonald’s and idk there might be some nice cars to take pics of👍

There are two types of hipsters, there are the lame ones that don’t know how a hammer works, or how to change a flat tire but have a sweet beard and flannel collection. And then there are these guys. The real hipsters.

Yes!!!

[@rickshaw6198]

Your flag girl gives false starts every time by raising the flag...then squatting down to jump up in the air before dropping the flag. Everyone there jumped it!

[@BriscoMedia]

It was still fun though!

[@shrimpycorn]

Nice video but you weirdos put the intro at the end

[@BriscoMedia]

Sorry I have Drain Bamage :)

[@CarGuy87]

Great cars but what a terrible flagger. Clearly confuses people causing bad starts. FIX THIS EVENT MANAGEMENT

[@BriscoMedia]

He was a fill in for the Flag Girl. Give him some slack! We still had fun

[@AC-gj4ze]

Flag drop bothers me.. Is it when he jumps up, on the way down, flag up, flag down, flinches to go up.. simple flag drop would be better. Only chics should jump.

[@BriscoMedia]

It wasn't a competition. Just a bunch of guys with fast cars having fun!

[@olddogcitypound5859]

not as good as the real deal..... where's Sara?🤔 it looks like you're still having fun tho.✌

[@BriscoMedia]

You talking about TROG east? Trying to go this year! Sara was busy, but it was great! Thanks for watching

[@frank-xp6pj]

nice video quality but DAM !!!! Be Thankful a 7 year old didn't show up with a junior dragster....SMFH.....the embarrassment would've been too real.

[@BriscoMedia]

Thank you! To their defense, the road was super sketch, I walked it. It had a curve to it.

[@jerrytee2688]

Anyone describing this as a "dragrace" has never been to a dragrace.

[@dama2803]

This is Beta male drag racing. Lame

[@BriscoMedia]

Oh don’t be mad you didn’t get in! Thanks for watching

[@danvanhoose6783]

Flag guy is weird.

[@BriscoMedia]

Nah he's cool!

I really liked the color grading on this. Took it up 11 notches. Great job.

[@BriscoMedia]

Thanks Matt!

[@jettironside9851]

My mind can't comprehend this ,drag racing in Santa barbara.this can't be real.

[@BriscoMedia]

It is! After seeing it at Pismo, and now Santa Barbara, I'm curious where it'll be next!

[@jettironside9851]

@@BriscoMedia so awsome

[@dantheman316]

see, this is the kind of racing I'd like to do good old fashioned speed, no need to drop 80k on building a drag car engine and then blow it up on the first pass no turbos, no nitro, no computers, only carburetors, gas, and stack injection cool old stripped down A's, gassers, and Harley bobber bikes this is the way to do it

[@BriscoMedia]

Exactly! You should check out the "RPM Nationals" It's put on by Hop Up. Videos on my channel!

[@dantheman316]

@@BriscoMedia alrighty, will do, thanks

[@jacobsereres6633]

Why does the flag man always jump? Doesn't that make for a lot of confusion?

Miscommunication, it was still fun!

I don't doubt that haha it looks like a lot of fun

[@johnbecay6887]

Jacob Sereres Because the starter is supposed to be a girl and it's fun to watch girls jump.

Great footage. Stoked that you got a shot of my buddy Josh Kohn(#77 Harley) at the starting line. TROG

It looks like maybe there's still some fun left in Southern California. Gavin New some will find a way to ruin it though...

[@BriscoMedia]

The event was a blast man, SoCal definitely needs more small time racing events like this!

I wish I could make it there... I have been to the March Meet once...

Let's see it! Have dad bring out Bad News!

[@doughopkinsjr]

They couldn't of found a straight street? Seems to me the road leading to the start line was straight. It is California someone probably complained lmao!

[@BriscoMedia]

They didnt have prepped tracks back in the day! Honestly it was hard enough just finding a spot in Santa Barbara county, thanks for watching!

Being born and bred a santa barbarian...I only wanna know when was this and why wasn't I told? My dad and I love old school cars and races like this so this would've been right up our ally and a great excuse to get out of LA.

That was some of the purest drag racing I have ever seen. 🤘

[@BriscoMedia]

Yessir!

[@jerrytee2688]

What made it so pure; the lack of performance, a "dragstrip" with a curve in it, or all the "groovy-dude" Harley Davidson banners in the background of every shot?

[@malkie638]

Fabulous, the lightning, maybe a filter or is California always like ,,,perfectly lit

I'd say a little bit of both!

[@roamic]

Where was Sara Francello, the usual starter?????

[@BriscoMedia]

I think I overheard she had scheduling conflicts or something like that.

[@kennyp6601]

She sure adds a little sumthin’ extra that really makes it a show! Just wasn’t the same with a dude flaggin’. 😕

[@gaasgreatamericanautoscene9075]

I thought there would be more Hotrods and Customs.. Watching the same cars and motorcycles go down the track was boring after the first hour or so and unless you were at the starting line you could not hear the announcer. Well, I can say I was there.
