Sunday Sunday! Be there 👍🏁
RAMCHARGERS SHOULD MAKE A COMEBACK......
O loved the AHRA!! They were like the old football AFL in that they were less stringent on the rules and let the racers race! With the old NFL, it was always a run up the middle in a cloud of dust, but the AFL players would make crazy low percentage passes that excited the fans. Like the NFL, the NHRA was just stodgy and stiff with the rules. For example, in the early Sixties, the NHRA would only allow a 7 inch wide tire for Super Stock cars whose factory horsepower could totally overwhelm a 7 inch wide tire. And at the 1964 Indy Nationals, NHRA officials saw the drivers of some Super Stockers putting a liquid traction compound on their slicks in the pits and ordered all of the drivers to change tires before running another round. This caused the Ramchargers the win in Super Stock Automatic. The AHRA would never have done this.
Times were good then. Simpler. Glad I saw them. Too much tobacco tho. Nasty. No masks. No Covid.
Thank you for this! Here’s a little something for fun: czcams.com/video/GZJHc-YgHBg/video.html
My Dad & Uncle were in the beginnings of NHRA . I have been hooked since seeing the hot rods in our service station. First race 69 Grand national's at Detroit Dragway. Been in my blood my whole life.
Amazing how quick people are to throw history into the garbage can. Automobiles are such a huge part of the United States history. Thanks for saving these tapes.
Now this is drag racing everybody ran hemis lol I guess a lot still runs hemis the best motor mopar or no car
Man this is good to watch wen I was a kid I loved some of these guys Ronnie Sox vanke Arlen will get this I can’t believe vanke didn’t beat that other cuda
1960s my grand parents lived on doremus street within sight of the lynch road plant detroit where my grandpa worked for plymouth . he was a total plymouth fan , drove nothing but furys . my uncles had every sox n martin photo and model car . sox n martin were huge stars to 1960s detroiters . seeing this with the additional bonus of the greatest announcer ever in keith jackson covering it is great . give me a 1970 sox n martin plymouth duster every time , underrated classic
Those Hemis killed the fords & chevys 🤘🤘🤘
More like the Ford's were the hemis only competition.
and where were they the fords
Keith jackson
This video is Keith Jackson approved. Whoa nellie!
Sounds like the old ABC Wide World of Sports announcer.
It is. It is Keith Jackson.
I was 6 in 69. I'd give my left one to go back to see these Mopars at the track.
I was there. It was a fantastic experience. I was 13 and life was just one far-out thing after another. Watching the "Hawaiian" fly through the air was special!
uncle skeeter glad we lived it. Really miss those 70s. That's why I'm still in the game just a little on the sidelines now trying to get a car together. It's funny working on vehicles and engines that were built so long ago now. Actually glad to see the top three manufacturing their brands of hot rods still to this day ensuring at least a future where we can still see them out on the roads and racing. Not sure if we can turn the youth around though to put more interest at the tracks. I'm a die-hard Mopar guy.
@@70stunes71 hope you are having luck putting your car together. I was 11 and was hooked immediately. Kinda in the same boat trying to get my 67 chevelle "the Hustler" back together.
Is it legal to download this?
What year was the Sox and Martins flat bed truck and is it still around?
It could be a 67, 68, or 69, I believe someone found it a restored it.
Wow thank you
Yes, THANK YOU, both of you! Rare rare rare! :)
The comment about ET Racing on the lake beds never happened, they raced for MPH not elapsed time
The 1959 Riverside Raceway segment was not an NHRA Event, it was a Drag News Invitational meet. Plus Garlits and Jack Chrisman never raced each other as Chrisman's Sidewinder was a Gas Dragster where Garlits ran Fuel.
I remember losing John Mulligan in a top fuel accident. If I remember correctly, the engine blew in his slingshot dragster and some engine parts came back and hit him. Took that hard as a young kid. Beebe & Mulligan were one of the teams I really dug! Thanks much, bud.
robkal56 he died from extensive burns (blood poisoning)
Yes he was very good at what he did it's a sad that he had perished with some of the best drivers I've ever seen and known that it was believed was that Lions drag strip when he lost his life rest in peace Mulligan
Great video. Thanks.
A hot track and not much grip, good driving at 1.34
S+M were the team to beat well into the '70s
Sweeeet vid!
Awesome footage
True thats a fact, he was one of the "every other make" I mentioned lol. R.I.P Grumpy
not bill jenkins , he and sox & martin went heads up and sox redlit and jenkins still caught sox at the 67' nationals . jenkins car was also a 396ci camaro , sox had a 426ci hemi
great . thanx ☺☺
one of the best ive seen. the footage of john mulligan is priceless!
pretty clear just dominant the mopars where back in the day, every other make they ran against had a handicap lol
Those cars that had a handicap were in a different class. This was before 1970 when Pro Stock went heads up. That is why it is called stock eliminator.
Awesome video, thanks for posting. Question: at 12:30, why is Arlen Vanke so late to launch? Was he asleep at the tree, or was that a handicapped start?
incredible!!!!!!!!!
@WickedTornado You are very welcome. I'm a car designer in my career for the past few decades especially with high performance and supercars, even got the chance to meet the original Hemi retired designer for Chrysler many years ago. I have lots of respect for the folks with passion who fired up this industry back then. Keith Jackson did a great job too being icing on the cake.
thanks
