  • Bucket list item complete! We visited our dream dragstrip on the island of Kauai and had the most amazing time. The aloha spirit is rich, the cars are FAST and the water is oh so nice. The level of cars that they have out here blew our minds! A 5 second dragster, 6 second altered, 7 and 8 second doorslammers... the list goes on!
    Please come out to Kauai and be sure to support the dragstrip. It is a one of a kind facility and everyone is incredibly kind.

    Really one of my favorite videos y'all have put out... the track announcer is awesome i love his energy and his love for drag racing and helping keep our kids safe, what a kind and thoughtful person he is... the only complaint is not enough videos from there lol but i get it you're trying to have fun and work also, makes it harder

    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THE AWESOME ADVENTURES 🏎️🚦🏁🎉
    Also very happy to hear the track has the support of the local’s & government officials! His words are so true tracks are closing …. it is sadly becoming hard to find local places to take these cars. Unfortunately the og hot rod folks & younger generation is unable to utilize a safe environment to race. 🥺 he definitely has great ideas to keep the younger ones involved 🎉

    Shedding weight, taking the stuff out of the trunk, wanting to do the same with the back seat was priceless! This video is phenomenal, shows soo much cool gearhead candy! A Mike Bos dragster, methanol screw blowers, top dragsters, Skip White engines,,, clear down to a rental car run finished out with a plunge into the Pacific Ocean from the return road. INCREDIBLE! When working at Skip White Performance in East Tennessee a few years ago, we had the pleasure of building two engines for Bobby & Jason Barros with the El Camino. These guys sent me an aloha care package from Kauai with all the goodies, Macadamia nuts galore [the garlic ones are killer on a salad], including a T-shirt with his body shop & automotive business showing out his black El Camino with the 572 Big Block Bowtie! Gotta love his red/white/blue gangsta hat and that the Island hospitality. We have been invited to come stay with them at Hawaii's Garden Island, to enjoy all the hot rods and racing at this incredible track secluded in Paradise, "just find your way here and we will show you the hospitality of the Hawaiian people." Mahalo. 🤙

    Oh the memories this brought back to me !!! 1975 I raced at this track driving my best friends 1969 Daytona Charger 440 magnum car with a 4 speed... (I still remember the day he bought that car for ($500 dollars Ha!!!!) what a beast that car was, heck i was only 17 yoa at the time but man we had some good times in that car. it was a pretty good track even back in those days/ I miss you my brother Rick if you are still out there...lost track of him and cant find anything on him or his brother Dezma... maybe he will read this post some day..lol Kauai has always had a few amazing cars. Great video you two keep up the fantastic work !!!

    I can’t wrap my head around that Chevelle with no coolant being from Michigan where it gets super hot and humid. Crazy to me. Hope it lives. I understand it’s alcohol injected but is the rest really that much cooler??!!

    • @ManiacJohnson1966
      @ManiacJohnson1966 Před 8 dny

      The whole atmosphere there on the Island is much of a day gone bye. Running mechanical fuel injection on Methanol with no cooling system was typical. Having to tow the car to the line and again picking it up at the end of the return road is essential, and creates the inconvenience this fast paced impatient modern world has no love for these days...
