[@UberLummox]

Cool seat-belts, maing! Good price too. What year range did GM use that specific style? '65-'68 maybe? I remember them well.

[@tomeighty]

@@UberLummox I'm not exactly sure the years that style was used but I would have guess the same years you mentioned. And then I got in my buddies 1980 Chevy Malibu and saw it was the same belt design but it didn't have the GM logo in it, it was just blank. Pretty cool to see though.

[@MinuteBurn]

Finally, someone made a proper drag clear video with cool cars and real sounds. Well done sir.

[@tomeighty]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

[@rlh4331]

Great to see the old rides still racing, thanks.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree

[@tomeighty]

Thanks for watching!

[@korhing1066]

Gassers , Straight Axil , Girls in GoGo Boots ! Excellent ! Thank You

[@pkuudsk9927]

Thank you Honney, the back up girl in the first 40 is worth the whole show. Reminds me of my childhood, as kids draged to the track NOBODY knew what crap we were up to or cared. I followed them cars around not so much for the cars I Loved but DAM you know at 9 I hadn't seen atiy in 8.7 years LOLLove the women who supported their men racing to put on a show now someone would have a hissy fit.

[@muscle_cars]

[@boneyardrestorodz2536]

Lots of cool cars. Great courage in this video.

[@donanything6816]

Loved it!! Thanks for this video, all my dream tri fives and Nova's. All the rest too!!

[@tomeighty]

That's awesome, glad you enjoyed it.

[@bobcatforever3485]

Fun video. Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@tomeighty]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

[@claytonsimplot9554]

I haven't been there for years. We use to sit down by the clocks,that was in the late 70's. Good times then.

[@tomeighty]

That is a great spot to sit. Not many track have seating down at the end of the 1/4 mile like that. You really get a feel of how fast those cars are going. Love it.

[@MrGarydaverocks]

The drag racing i remember and love :O)

[@jeffd3660]

Great video , with all of the corn 🌽 in the background, it kinda reminds me of my home town track ( Eddyville Raceway Park , Eddyville Iowa) every year we have an event called " Chaos in the Corn 🌽 field " ..... thanks for sharing 👍 👍🇺🇸

[@tomeighty]

That's a great event name, I like that. Thanks for watching, glad you liked it.

[@PCgonerogue820]

Thank You Tom for another great video

[@tomeighty]

Glad you liked it, Thanks for watching!

[@Lee-Buskar]

Totally cool! Glad I found your channel. Thank you! 😎👍

[@tomeighty]

Thanks Lee, glad you enjoyed the content.

[@onazram1]

That's wild how they extended the steering wheel outside so the babe could steer it back... Nice original showmanship!

[@tomeighty]

Yeah I thought that was pretty ingenious the first time I saw it.

[@rader1175]

Didn't even notice her steering, with all bouncing & booty. Truly a backseat driver !

[@skootr924]

Entertainment is an understatement, this is fricken AWESOME!!! Always great stuff buddy 😊

[@tomeighty]

Thank you, I appreciate it! I have another video scheduled to come out at 4:15pm Central time tonight. Let me know what you think of the thumbnail pic, I spent a ton of time on it.

[@skootr924]

@@tomeighty fabulously on point. Nostalgia is everything. Back up girls are sweet and still relevant.

[@DaveMetzel90-n8g]

Those boots look great and happy to help showcase her beauty. Lucky boots

[@kenneymitchell1186]

Damn, wish i was there! Thanks ❤

[@jeffnpatricia]

Crazy to see the extreme older cars running times that we now see common fox body garage builds are surpassing. Crazy

[@tomeighty]

Yeah sure is unreal. And the Brew City Gassers group tries there best to keep the car period specific in the looks of them. But the transmissions and clutches are obviously upgraded to modern days to grab all the power they can get out of those old carbureted engines.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Enjoyed!!! 🏁🏁

[@tomeighty]

Thank you!

@silverback8183 You mean the one with the big arse and fat legs?

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

I loved the Pinto!

Great vid!

Thank you!

[@tazerknight1]

You got the Monster's car. cool

[@markwallow6776]

Love hot rods

[@toddclark332]

Badass bud thanks the purple 666 really cool ok later

[@tomeighty]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

[@UberLummox]

@8:45 Not my style drag car, but amazing top chop job on that Duster. Looks like a steel body w/a 'glass nose.

[@tomeighty]

Yeah that is one mean looking car, I love it. I'm not sure on the steel back half or not, I should check that out. They are racing again this Saturday if it doesn't rain (40% chance both day and night as of right now).

[@davidrayner9832]

Great video. Fave car here is Panty Dropper but disappointed no panties actually dropped. Maybe next time.

[@tomeighty]

Yeah that would make for a viral video. ha ha

[@No1414body]

Another great video,what type of camera do you use Tom

[@tomeighty]

Thank you very much. It is a Sony Camcorder. amzn.to/3z1OHCa

[@JimEast-k9z]

Reminds me of the Fremont Dragstrip.

[@johndoran3274]

Makes me want to take my slingshot down from the rafters in the garage and put it back to work.

[@tomeighty]

Yeah buddy, Vintage Drag Racing is coming back!

[@johndoran3274]

@@tomeighty I ran the car in the ‘80s and it scared the hell out of me. When your manhood lays on top of the center section of the rear and the tires rub your elbows when they shake during the burnout, it wakes you up. I had the blower hat come off at the 1/8 mile on a run and took a chunk out of my helmet. Good times 😬

[@thegreatgizmo3590]

Awsome 😎🤙

[@mykec.selene8302]

What is the Crosley wagon running for an engine? Probably a small block Chevy?

[@busabrye]

There were cars???

[@danmyers9372]

I watch and enjoy pretty much all your videos Tom but I had an issue with this one that I thought you would want to hear. As a lifelong 68 year old drag racing fan the one thing that frustrates me more than anything else with drag racing videos is cutting away from the action without showing the times. The ET’s and speeds are what makes it relatable. You normally do a really good job at intentionally showing the times. Not sure why you went away from that here. 🤷. Because of this I quit watching before the 5:00 mark.

[@tomeighty]

Hey Dan, excellent observation. And I have a great excuse for it. As the cars are running down the track the next set of cars start doing the burnouts. So I had a choice of missing all the close up burnouts and filming only passes going down the 1/4 mile or getting the best of both worlds. And for me getting the best of both worlds means I get to take pictures of the burnouts and launches which I post up on my Facebook page of 600k followers and gets tons of views, and earns me more money that pays for me to goto more events like this. So I understand and appreciate what you are saying and hopefully you understand my dilemma when shooting videos that cut them off short. And as always I appreciate you checking out my videos and the great comments. Tom

[@danmyers9372]

@@tomeighty - Thanks for the reply Tom. As I have no experience at using social media as an income source like you I had not considered the points you made. Keep up the good work! 👍

[@ny8472]

I’m the same age brother and this also bugs me...... love to see the times.🤣

[@tomeighty]

Thanks Dan. And actually if you watch the rest of that video I do show all the times, it was just when I was down right by the burnout box it is different filming there. Have a great day buddy.

[@sherrylockhart305]

Who could concentrate on staging with 2 blondes in view lol

[@boskosdoghouse]

That is one sturdy blonde...

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

Nice synced bouncing of the twins. Her flap in front is hiding my favorite part.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

Shoebox Chevys with front end raked, bad for aero? Weight transfer was worth it?

[@charleswatkins9554]

Wow we know who won

[@monte62]

can we see the whole dam race plzzzzz

[@IMEMINE.]

Back in the day, I watched big daddy break 200 at GLD

[@stevenreyes3680]

Maybe a dumb question but, is this a quarter mile, 1,320 feet or 1,000 feet ? Thanks for any reply…

[@tomeighty]

This is a quarter mile 1320. Only the NHRA Top Fuel Dragsters that go over 300 mph race at tracks that will clock them at the 1,000 ft mark and not the 1320 finish line.

[@peterlee6745]

Do MISS The Day's of The 1/4 mile its OVER to QUICK ?

[@dannyzuehlsdorf3697]

14:20 kind of an American Graffiti rematch

[@tomeighty]

I never thought of that till you mentioned it. Very cool.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

Make hotpants great again!

[@rodjames2]

I agree I'm just as interested in the et's and speed as watching them leave the starting line. What poor coverage of Racing with just showing cars leave the line.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

Eddie Munster at the wheel?

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

Where I first saw hot pants were on English babes, I was a young teen. Formula One cars raced at the Ontario Motor Speedway road course in California, including Mario Andretti's Ferrari in the 1970 Questor Grand Prix:

[@tedsandidge-zo4jp]

one of my girls had a 1970's seat belt for a belt . she used it as a weapon on other girls .

Jungle Pams younger sister. ...?

[@xbpete8865]

she might look good but i bet she doesnt get you in the groove at all

[@robertbihn3005]

why not show full race ?

[@tomeighty]

Most of the races were shown in full, but when I was standing down by the burnout box that group of cars were doing burnouts soon after the cars in front of them left off the line. It was a tough call but I wanted to capture burnouts and launches. I can cut up videos like that and post it on my TomEighty Facebook page where I have 500k followers on there. I hope that answered your question, and I appreciate you watching my content. Tom
