Worlds Fastest Plymouth Superbird?

[@nummerfinfeable]

Thanks for footage Tom, we have a Superbird here in Europe called Voodoo Hemi. He`s doing 5.82@248mph last year at Santa Pod Raceway in UK.

[@tomeighty]

I just checked that car out, thanks for the tip. Looks like it had a crazy fire 5 years ago.

[@bartbullock7817]

I thought that you did kph

[@jackhartley5906]

That is the old voodoo car I believe

[@matzrat5006]

Love that name, Voodoo HEMI.

[@nummerfinfeable]

@@bartbullock7817 Everywhere in Europe but not in UK where he runs it in FIA competition. Still 1/4mile and MPH

[@K-Effect]

1:46 Didn’t expect to see a 67 cougar in the lineup, very cool.

[@ricktaylor3748]

Thanks, Tom. These are my favorite type of drag cars.I believe the Superbird was smoking the tires on the top end of the track. Track crew needs to throw down some traction compound.

[@tomeighty]

Thanks for watching Rick, glad you liked the video!

[@danielraynor4075]

Hey brother, its always a pleasure to see 👀 the old school car's turning a good run in the 1/4 mile, thanks 😊

Best of all this vid is at Union Grove, Great Lakes Dragaway!!!

broadway bob would be proud

My stomping grounds .. been going there for 40+ years 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jeepmilitia2361]

@@falcon4548 I took my first car there in '77. 1967 GTO, 4 speed with a 3.90 posi. I had no idea how to race yet, but managed low 13 sec passes which was fast to most or us at 16 years old. Last run of the night I pulled off a 12.80 after some "launch instruction" from a local Chevelle racer that we were hanging with on our first adventure in drag racing.

@@jeepmilitia2361 Niceeeee 😎🤩

[@bixfrisbee2623]

Thanks for posting. The launch of that Cougar was awesome but the Superbird caught up and won.

[@chriswilliamson806]

The Super Bird is my favorite mopar of all time..

[@SteveWright-bx2ub]

Love the Superbird. The Savoy was pretty nice too.

[@haileylaracuente6773]

Thanks for another great video!!!

[@tomeighty]

Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video.

[@nonyanks2510]

That is one Moody car....Love it !

[@toddlane4086]

7.30's while pedaling it. Not bad. Would love to see a clean run in person.

[@crazyoilfieldmechanic3195]

It takes a lot more money and experience than 95% of people understand to make a car like this perform at it's best. As a bench mark compare any of these cars to Stevie Fast Jackson's Shadow that recently ran 3.48 at 214 in the 1/8 which is 5.65 in the1/4. That was on those ridiculously small drag radials as well. Hopefully Superbird guy can keep making improvements.

[@GERRYMALONEY47]

That are some great video footage at one of the best tracks that I have ever been at in my life this is where the term family drag racing came from

[@JuanAntonioBullo-of2cx]

Bellísimo auto me encanta 😊❤

[@cjbecker1683]

This car & the light brownish copper Impala/Caprice??? that run there are simply two incredible rides 💪🔥🔥🔥Do you get to Gus's cruise nights at all in East Troy? Wondering if those are still a pretty big event?

[@GERRYMALONEY47]

Great Lakes is the best race track on a planet Earth I grew up and that's where I found and fell in love with racing I miss Broadway Bob rip Bob❤

[@eric4232]

Beautiful Mopar!!

[@stuarthynes6136]

Nice Plymouth pro mod superbird.

[@russhfan]

What promod should be '70 and back body styles

[@markholroyde9412]

This is wild, we have a few over here but that Saratoga........dogs bollox right there,😎 UK

[@MartinMcMartin]

There is one called Voodoo Hemi Racing from Europe, they run in England, it is a promod and they run 5.80's

[@tomeighty]

Thank you for that tip on the car in Europe, I just checked it out. Looks like it had a crazy fire 5 years ago.

[@PCgonerogue820]

Thank You Tom

[@tomeighty]

Thanks for watching!

[@johnjelinek-g7b]

The driver's having a hell of a time putting it together though ...

[@beachlifebestlife]

what class is it in?

[@redtesta]

basically breaking loose the whole way. insane.. might need to dial it down for that track

[@johnjelinek-g7b]

Funny, all they had to do was put a couple more degrees of down slope on the nose and that was it from the factory shape . Wonder why more super birds weren't built as pro-mods ...

[@RedLP5000S]

The shifting is holding him up.

[@boataxe4605]

The graphic design over the real wheel well looks stupid.

[@philcolliver321]

Please take a look at a guy called Marc Hartfelt, who runs a Pro Mod superbird here in Europe, he has run in the 5s @ 230+mph

[@Petequinn741]

That's a beauty..

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

A real steel Bird has gone beyond 270mph at Bonneville.

[@tomeighty]

I can't wait to get back out to Bonneville Speed Week since it has been canceled and limited runs last year with the soggy track.

[@MrLimbocker777]

You’re comparing an apple to an orange

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

@@tomeighty Yep, it's been a tough two years. I need some popcorn-fart dry salt to have a chance at making a 500 pass.

[@jeffreykidd1026]

That's one bad bird

[@mikeguertin3225]

I work on a promod car, 69 daytona charger, we've 570s

[@cydneykelly7102]

Yeah baby, 🤩😎😲

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool!!!!!!!

[@mikemakuh5319]

Definetely a sharp set up but seems like a set up like that should be down in the 5's.

[@pedroportalatin6751]

Florida has imports running 5 60 220 miles an hour

[@markseaman4750]

Sketchy track😳

[@223dmr7]

Richard petty who?

[@jimmycline4778]

I just don’t like that huge mopar decal on the rear, it takes away the awesome lines of the car!

[@Johnny-xw7mf]

So where is the Big Bad Grand National???

[@leedouglass9636]

Rip chuck

[@stuwest3653]

Not even close

[@GeorgeWeimer-l2h]

Machine’s a beast. The driver needs some practice.

[@jeffapplewhite5981]

200 mph at Daytona nascar!

[@pedroportalatin6751]

Great lakes drag away need to show new events .bring no prep racing bring racing cars around the county tired looking at the same cars .

[@tallpaul9475]

Bet if it had better traction / control it would run 5s all day.

[@tomschauman4960]

But once again…the Bow tie was faster!!

[@garyszewc3339]

On the slowest run he made that day. Every other run he made was faster than the bowtie.

[@jayburrough4308]

Sleep at the tree lol..... great car

[@earlwright9715]

That car was built for roundy round

[@richarddeal538]

Not the fastest... there's a 58 Plymouth that's a bit faster !!!

[@frankcastle9691]

Someone ruined that car. It was made for high speed turning, bit someone butchered it so it only goes in a straight line. 🙄

[@movingon5951]

One of the ugliest cars ever made.

[@peteloomis8456]

That's one of the reasons they didn't sell good at the dealerships back in the day but they ruled the NASCAR tracks back then setting numerous speed records until NASCAR banned them for good . Once that happened most of those cars either got scrapped or sold & the others went to the Bonneville salt flats where they set several land speed records that still hold these records today .

[@Petequinn741]

Ugly, but pure speed cars..love them

[@hettie6701]

Ugly better be good for it to disappear and it is.

[@Snake.br549]

I'd like to see them forget to unhook that golf cart and see it Go 200 mph !

[@larrytidwell7885]

Why isn't he running No Prep

[@charlesgardner5989]

Now that's the biggest piece of s*** on the f****** road

[@charlesgardner5989]

Yeah maybe the fastest for a racetrack but it ain't street legal

Can't fool you.
