TRI-FIVE NATIONALS 2024: Historic Race Cars, GASSERS and 409's

[@WarrensWarriors]

Love watching all your videos you do a great job your very knowledgeable. I started out with a 57 Chevy in 1972 bought for 40 dollars painted it black and flamed the front end did some customization had 327 3 speed 4.11 rear. After going threw many, many cars and several drag cars Pontiacs, Olds and Chevys since then. I am now re-creating my 57 I built in 72 using a vintage 57 coupe drag car that was raced over at Dragway 42. It's been sitting since the late 70s. I'm using as many vintage parts as I can and some of my original race parts. Four of my brothers drove 57 Chevy hot rods back then we had plenty of parts lol.

[@HotRodHoarder]

Oh man that's really cool. A $40 hot rod project is awesome. Best of luck with your recreation project...sounds really neat. I hope to see it someday!

[@ClassicChrome86]

Thanks for featuring all the Louisville Ky area cars & especially Steve Hinton '55 S/S car. I worked at Scotty's and love that Steve keeps the lettering long after shop went out of business. Thank You.

[@stephenmitchell3569]

Best ever video !!!

[@SaneCayne]

8:35 I was like: what's with the faux flames licking out of the injector stacks? But then realized they're lipstick cases. Awesome!

[@peterchristlieb]

Love those old Dragmaster cars, we have ANRA here in CA, there’s a beautifully restored car running the 8.60 class out here

[@Mike-Olds-1]

👍🇺🇸Awesome thanks

[@Mike-rx4in]

Great video! Thanks! My first car was a 1955 Bel Air 2 door hardtop, that I paid $225 for! Lol

[@LondaSabinono]

Cercare di essere adulti, ma continuare a ridere in momenti inopportuni durante le conversazioni serie💕

[@stevehilliard1495]

Great video, that many beautiful cars is mind bottling 😂

[@leebongirno9670]

Outstanding video 👍

[@markweber7275]

Another great history lesson. True to the period are my favorite cars. Hot Rodders using their knowledge to go FAST.

[@chrisbrown3925]

Good show!!!

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

I love your videos man I would love to have your job you are a blessed man thanks for the video

[@dannybenfield1164]

Very cool old hot rod's and cool car 's

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great vid!!!!!!!! 🤜🤛

[@Stupidfastracing]

I had a great time there bought a lot of parts for my 55

[@terrystewart2070]

When I was in high school (1964-1968) there were Tri 5's everywhere, although no one called them that. Mostly 55's, some 56's, and only one guy had a 57. They were all hot rods ranging from ratty to real nice. I never had one, they were relatively expensive even then. I mean we bought beaters for $20-$100, and a car nice enough to go on a date was only a couple hundred.

[@Techangler65]

Man awesome cars

[@larrytucker2938]

Nice...wish I still had my 55 and 56's.

[@bigblockkings1031]

Excellent video sir! Love those Tri 5s. I keeping my eye on a 348 Tri power that might get an LS transplant. 🤞🤞

[@JohnW1711stock]

George Cureton is a friend of mine. He won the Stock championship in 1968 with the 56 Chevy Delivery Tokyo Rose.

[@mick_1949]

Nice champion 👍🇦🇺

[@cavemangarage]

Great video as always Buddy..didn't make it this year

[@hendo337]

If you cant tell if its a 348 or 409 look for the dip stick location.

[@myretirementlife8731]

It's a little odd that the black 55 150 with the 409 near the end of the video has chrome around the windshield, 150s had all rubber like he has on the rear window, not complaining, just noticing, and wondering.

[@jasonahlstrom1424]

Such cool cars. Pick up a blue 55 two door wagon 210 from a friend of my dad’s that hasn’t been seen since 1968. Looks to be a former street racer or drag car with swapped rear gears and tow hooks and some cool vintage stickers. One says Creitz Racing Equipment Tulsa Oklahoma. Looking for old pics of blue two door wagon racing. Any ideas.? Love your content.

[@SaneCayne]

You gotta tell TP to get himself a camera with a lens that'll zoom! I'd love to watch his videos, but he doesn't zoom down to show us the ETs the cars ran. (I've commented and he tells me his camera/lens doesn't zoom.) That's half the point of watching a drag race.

[@BenSymington]

[@garycruz9475]

I think the 55 Belair is my favorite Chevy.

[@tombongard7518]

The great looking red car was awesome. But not nomad quarters. Shape not correct. Again but.. it's almost perfect!!

[@jimmymccracken9702]

To tell if it's a 348 or 409 at a glance is that the 409 you check the oil on the passenger side of the block. I know for sure.

[@SaneCayne]

Wow, can't believe they towed with Vettes back in the day. Seems like ANY other car from Chevrolet would've had better towing capacity/handling. Was the Vette usually raced at the event as well?

[@pamdunn8454]

the way we tell a 348 from a 409 is the dipstick - 409 is on the passenger side

[@pamdunn8454]

we have a Mccullah supercharger boost gauge and a Winters shifter for sale

[@kbschulze]

Nice BUT we need many more Daddy, daughter projects.

[@junkyardjunkie7192]

That's gotta be the rattiest sounding 265 ever that 55 is cool as a fan

[@TheJerseyRejects]

Why is there corvettes at the trifive nationals?

[@HotRodHoarder]

Any Chevrolet produced from 1955 to 1957 is welcome at the Tri-Five Nationals, so that includes the regular Bel Airs and such, as well as Corvettes and Trucks.

[@TheJerseyRejects]

@ gotcha that’s cool. Thanks 👍

[@GuyVogt-f5k]

How do I contact you, I think I found a car for you!!

[@LanceisLawson]

Re record the narration please. 409's are cool but tend to become hand grenades when built up beyond what the factory did. The 409 was not a good super speedway power plant.

[@andybrown9700]

409 dipstick is on the right. 348 left.
