A Beautiful Day for a Drag Race
What A Beautiful Day for a Drag Race, on this Memorial Weekend at Great Lakes Dragaway. In this jam packed video of quarter mile action there is Muscle Cars, Vintage Drag Racing Cars, Jet Cars, Wheelstanders, and the Chicago Wise Guys Racing Group. This was a great day or racing and I had a lot of fun filming it.
2 things of interest that happened in this video is during the Chicago Wise Guys runs there is a colorful late model Camaro that gets out of control during the launch and fish tails towards the wall. And a Green 1967 Mercury Cougar has a violent tire shake right off the line and one of his two parachutes deploys right away and the speed and time this guy runs with the chute out is just amazing. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did making it. Thanks for watching and hope you have a happy Memorial Day!

    Newer viewer of drag so stupid question i guess.. but whats with some of them letting out of it and popping their chute way before what i assumed was the finish line? Maybe its perspective and theyre actually crossing the line down where the big signs are but looks short to me maybe?

    It won't have the nostalgic look of a roots blower which is cool but your potential is limited eventually your just making turbulent hot air, get turbos and go fast, if you put a big snail and make 1000-1300hp or so you could dipping one of those death traps into the 6s, I know that's not the goal of these cars but wouldn't ya wanna see if you can make it really fast.... You can always put it back to old school look or maybe switch the old roots up to a modern screw type blower still have the look but a way more efficient set up.

    @tomeighty , I like watching your videos. There are very few videos that tell the difference in years and models. I like to ask questions about different cars. (I've told before that I'm a book of useless information). You can never learn too much.

    • @tomeighty
      @tomeighty Před 11 dny

      Glad you liked that style of video. I really enjoy finding unique things about cars, and as a teenager I had pride in being able to spot cars from a far and know the make/model/ and year with just a quick glance. I will make some more videos like this. It takes awhile to make the videos but if it does well I will do more.

    • @tomeighty
      @tomeighty Před 11 dny

      I wish my brother still had that Cougar as well. One that that I noticed when doing research for this video is that I really like the stock steering wheel a lot better on the 1968 than the 1967 Cougars. Minor detail that I probably wouldn't care about when I was younger but for some reason in my older age I have an opinion on what looks good for stock steering wheels. And I would for sure much rather have a stock steering wheel on an older car and not an aftermarket racing steering wheel. Just looses the nostalgic feeling.

    Nice job Tom. My first car was a 1970 Mustang Mach 1. A ‘70 can be distinguished from the similar ‘69 by a couple things. The ‘70 has single headlights vs quad headlights for the ‘69. The ‘70 has “Mach 1” emblazoned into three lower side rocker panels vs the ‘69 which has “Mach 1” in side tape strips down both sides of the car. There are a few other minor differences but these are the easiest way to distinguish between the two.

Put some real tires on there, get together and start doing some major torque pulls, like moving Walmart, Sportsman's warehouse or Costco down the street!!! Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely a diesel fan but being on a track strip with non daily and non all terrain tires.......I just don't understand what the point is?
