Motion Pictures Best video ever. Probably been on here, but needed to see it again today

This is very possibly the best video ever. I'm sure it's been on here before, but what the hell--it's worth posting again.

THIS is the kind of inspiration I need.

Thats what I'm talkin about!!!

 

I think it has been posted before, but so what, man, I like 70's funny cars!

 

It was hard on parts and cars. I worked for John Dianna for four years. He acid-dipped his Duster, and put it in the tank at an angle, nose first, so the front was thin and the back was still heavy over the tires. He had the Duster at Indy for a national event, dry-hopped it in the staging lanes on the way up to the burn-out box, and did it a little too aggressively--the nose came up a couple feet with the tires off the ground, and when it came back down, the whole front end folded up and collapsed because it was so thin.

i love how hes wearin keds and smokin a cigar the whole time, lol. and these fellas arent even waitin to be in the burnout box, fuck it, spin em the whole way to the stagin area!

 

After watching that one, this one came up. I'm shocked to see so many just explode. Did that use to happen alot at the tracks??

i kinda like this one...

 

Still happens. If you've never been to an NHRA race you need to put it on your "bucket list." www.NHRA.com

 

That was awsome. Thats exactly what I needed here at work. Thanks for that!

 

All the above videos are 10 times better with the sound off. I don't know why everyone feels the need to put some cheesey music over that stuff. It cheapens it...

But that first video is awesome!! I could watch slow motion vintage drag cars all day long...

 

back in the day ! lol t/f was an also ran . f/c was the main draw . s/s was a big factory race . major detroit iron was always there . great movie !! .......... thx .. steve

 

that
was
AWESOME!

Those things just go up like bombs. I mean that literally...KABOOM!

I also liked the two races with the Funny Cars that couldn't get traction. I'd actually watch Funny Car racing if they were all like that. The whole point-and-shoot thing does nothing for me. I like drag racing to be like sex--loud, some driver skill required, and lasting longer than a few seconds.

well worth the 6 min 27 sec!

 

Exactly ... I don't have the speakers at work....But i just let out a "Hell Yeah" when that digger smoked the rears and still won the race.
The good old days when it was Raw!
I love going to my track for nostalgia days.
MORE MORE MORE !

 

normally I hate the music on these videos but I think this was a good choice of songs kinda fits with the era
My .02

 

No offense Ryan....but, what the heck are you talking about?

 

Awesome - just what I needed. I did like that blue 57 in the other video too.

 

I was thinkin' the same thing but figured there must have been a deleted post that required the response.
That or it's obvious and I slipped a mental cog.. again.

 

Does anyone recommend a dvd of old drag racing such as the first video, Ive seen somefor sale but dont know the quality.

 

Good stuff

One of my favorite parts of the first video is the inside shot of the driver (Dick Landy?) rowing through the gears with his right foot stuck to the floor.

It's a blast when you gotta car you can do that with.

 

Post that got deleted.

damn that was cool!!

 

Great clips, any one know who did the music?

 

Eric the music is better than hearing my kids screaming. You young guys kill me, just relax and enjoy the ride. I love old videos!!!

 

Yeah it was a previous post that was edited/deleted. Nothing too serious.

No, Ryan isn't going off the deep end.

I like the music in the first one and think it was a good choice for it. Just watched it again. Love that one.

 

very cool!!! I still like this one too.

1000 fps...
