- Mike Bilina's '56 Chevy built in 1965 with the straight axle, engine set back, glass tilt nose , spindle mounted front magnesium american mags,(no front brakes),glass doors and trunk with nothing changed except a fuel cell to replace the beer keg gas tank and wheelie bars. Now the motor is a 496ci chevy, turbo 400 and 488 gears in an olds/pont rear end, home made ladder bars hooks pretty good for 60's technology takes on Nick Shervino's '57 Chevy, which was an original barn find of what was believed to be a former drag car. The car was in terrible shape and Nick restored it into its present glory with House of Kolor Paint, 461ci Chevy, Coan Turbo, Ford 9", 4 wheel disc brakes and straight axle with rack and pinion steering. First run Mike takes the win with a 10.79@124.05mph as Nick runs 11.22@121.19mph. In the second run Nick gets the win with a 11.91@119.53mph as Mike gets out of shape and runs 12.19@125.10mph. Who's ready for a rematch?! RT66 Classic 8-16-14
That's one beautiful 57
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SHOW!! VERY WELL PERFORMED SHOW.
This was the norm at one time❤
That was awesome that big green machine pulling wheel stands.
Great job, that announcer was good too.
That rt. 66 is a great strip. I went to the national event for many years. LOVE gassers too.
Reminds me of watching these two gassers put on a show every week. The red one was called Wild cherry and the yellow one was called The Hairy Canary.Wheels up launches every time. I remember this like it was yesterday. This was in Phoenix in the 70's. my dad was bracket racing then.
I just love the 55 56 and 57's they are the greatest cars of America ! And some others tooooo !!!
What's not to luv about tri five race cars , incredible cars . Thanks for the vid .
Thanks for watching!
awesome my uncle nicks car bad ass ride red 57 Chevy
It definitely is! 👊
First, Great camera work! Thank you very much for knowing how to film a drag race. Showing start to finish with the clock at the end of the run with the time displayed. 2nd. For having a great camera that is clear and focused. 3rd. For NOT filming the sky, ground, or the back of someones head. I'll subscribe just for that.
***** Thanks, I'm using a handheld dslr camera with a 70-200mm lens which is quite a handfull and working on trying not to shake as much lol
You're doing great!
Thank you sir!
First , yes I totally agree on camera work, that's how it should be done , and work the zoom in and out, HOWERVER!....you left the tree out, you can obviously tell the 56 took off way before 57, and freez at 3:40 You can see the red light , closest to you. very enjoyable video.👍
Love the 55.
that wild to watch both of them in the air .
Wheelies like those slow you down, but they sure are cool.
@gunit 010 'Aa
Love the Shervino '57- green '56 is cool
AMERICAN MUSCLE 💪💯 AWESOME
Look like my 57 ❤❤❤❤❤
saw a 57 chevy gasser in benton illinois when i was maybe 10 been a gear head ever since
I have to laugh to myself every time someone calls all classic chevies "Bel Air". The announcer called the 56 a Bel Air and it is obviously not. Still great to see a 57 vs 56 race.
youre right its a 150 i think :)
Excuse my ignorance here fellas, but without the side trim, how do we tell a 56 150 210 Bel Air apart?
YEAH!!!
I wonder what happened to the '57 Chevy "Jail Bait" that used to run 10:90's at old U.S.30. The trunk was kick ass. On the left side was an 8 mo. preg gal
and on the right side it said "Time to Worry" which also meant that you were BEHIND him in the race. To me, the 60's were about drag racing. Not Woodstock crap.
That '56 was loosing parts on the track like crazy! Trunk lid was flopping and looks like it skidded down a wall in the left side at least once! I wouldn't want to race in a lane next to either of them!
Old School! 🤟
So very cool.
Great video! awesome footage!
***** Thanks!
Wotta show !!!
👍 WAY COOL 👀👍
About 15 yrs ago NHRA had a Cacklefest for Gassers @ the US Nationals, it was as cool as a Nitro Cacklefest.
Bowling Green has a yearly cacklefest where they line up all the old school front engine dragsters and gassers on track at night. Great event besides the heat lol
I had a 53 gaser kinda like the green one.
racing will probably have to stop soon when AOC and team see this video.
Exactly 💯 and think of all the fool racers that voted for the left.
gorgeous,,,,
I feel like the person in the green car just wanted out of this world already
I come here to watch classic American cars and before the first sight of an American car I have to see a piece of shirt toyolet.... other than that nice vid
Yeah never liked the Toyota advertising 🙄 but thanks for watching 👊
Too many nowadays think racing is only about quickness and speed. They forget the little guys that build their cars at home, having friends help. NHRA always promoted faster, faster then...ohhh we're scared. How about allow speed and quickness but they must be down to a predetermined speed at ? Distance past the traps. Brake companies would then become sponsors and racing would be contributing to safety and improved braking systems for all. But they took the easy coward way out.
A friend of mine that I used to race with when we were kids he had a blue 57 Chevy I had a 69 Dodge charger we both had four speeds he wanted to race for titles long story short I beat him up and I beat him back and then we traded cars and I beat him a third time he didn't want to race the 4th. 🤔
The'56 has a straight axle.
The '57 has a _dropped_ I beam axle.
All that for a 10 and 11 second cars.
i am curious to know how much the 56 weighs
56 a small block?
Some badly bent axles!
I like the red one. decals and red windows are the wow factor.
Sexy car. Makes me wet.
57 red car 55 green car
The st Croix boys The green one is a '56, didn't you hear the announcer plus i know the owner, google it
Oh ok
You can tell because the '56 has a much wider mouth than the '55.
Just look at the tail lights!
0:40
Announcer...SHADDUP...HUH???!!!
The guy in the red car is chicken
Actually he's a badass
Looks like a good way to destroy a nice car.
Who the fart is the announcer? Jeez Karen...the tires and u joints are fine...how about some positive feedback/commentary.
