You can almost smell the fuel, hear the roar, and feel the excitement of these classic dirt track machines! See the complete Stock Car Racing playlist here: • Playlist
I am amazed there are any early Camaros and Chevelle's left at all, in the 60's and early 70's at the dirt races in eastern South Dakota, Miller, Huron, Watertown, Aberdeen, on any Friday or Saturday night you could see a couple dozen on the track at the same time and most were big block cars.....nothing like it since, the sound was unreal.
@@oldhick9047 that's great! There's been a 1/2 mile dirt oval here in town since the 60s, so i grew up seeing a lot of excellent racing action! And it does bring back wonderful memories! I'm compiling photos of the cars and drivers In loved from my hometown track! That video is coming soon!
@ 2:22 the 66 Pontiac, my first car was a 66 Pontiac they were HUGE cars two of these side by side would make a 3 lane track into a 2 lane track but they were fast and agile for their size I never lost a drag race with mine with a 389.
@@chevybrother6945 Thank you again! These old school machines give me such a great vibe and bring back very fond memories! Be sure to check out my other stock car videos, as well! And there's definitely more to come!

My dad ran a Nova and an olds 442 back in the 80's and 90's when street stocks weren't just slower dirt late models. I liked watching them more than sprints in the early 2000's as a kid.
Awesome!👍 My dad ran a 74 Chevelle/Malibu in the Latemodel class in 1981, 82. That was before the Camaros were chopped up. I ran karts from 87-89 then jumped in a big ass 63 Buick Skylark and ran the strictly stock class at my local dirt track at the age of 15. We welded the gears in the rear end so it was a hillbilly posi. 😆 Original 3 speed on the column car so we made rods and torched holes in the floor for shifters. Looking back it was about as safe as a blind man crossing a highway at high noon.
1:18 Maynard Troyer. Renowned chassis builder and driver. Troyer Engineering lives on to this day! He once (and possibly still does) held the record for the number of flips, barrel and endo’s, in a crash at Daytona many years ago. Very wicked crash!
Yeah but tv did not do the wreck justice and tell the whole story he was quite injured after that wreck and spent many days in hospital it pretty much ended his chances in gn. But still went on to be a local mod hero in the ny area and car builder both dirt and asphalt
Got a jalopy Beat up it's not Foot on the pedal It's faster than snot! Gonna race her saturday Run with the pack Hope I don't wreck her Tryin' to win If I make it tonite I'll try it agin' She's old and tired But I don't care Fast as the new ones With power to spare! Don't know what I'll do When I'm too old to race Watch from the stands Cuz I was the ace Beatin' and bangin' Till late at night Nothin' scared me Never backed off Racin' till midnight Till the finish and end The Ace all the way Till next week again...
Just found the first ,I have seen 40 percent of your videos, I was 10 when this era was prime, seen alot since
Thank you for showing people what REAL race cars look like...
It's a pleasure for me to look back on the good old days of racing! Thank you so much!
Loved the convertible pic of Lee Petty and Bob Welborn.
That purple and white 99 car of Dick Trickle still gives me goosebumps! G.O.A.T!!

Very cool my dad ran stock cars in ohio and n western pa in late 50's thank you for the pics.

Love those Chevelle's!
There’s an old race car driver I know still has a couple of those old stock cars, he told me if you raced one today ya probably get killed in it😂😂

Love those Falcons and Fairlanes
Stash Coleman 4U 60 Chev. Always a great looking car raceway park.
I've got an old 69 Camaro hobby stock that has been setting in a field for the last 26 years.
Love the older stock cars
Me too! Glad you enjoyed it!
2:11 Sonny Hutchins. South side Virginia driver who was a legend in asphalt late model sportsman racing!

@@r3knynussberger882 It was a pretty wicked ride! Actually surprising he survived it! They didn’t have near the safety equipment they have today!
Bobby Allison @ 0:43
This the real meaning of stock car racing! Now it’s just fabricated sheet metal with a nose clip!
I'm with you! The memories these old cars conjure up are extremely fond! Thanks for watching, Rick!
@@MinnesotaMax very cool pictures did you take most of these?
@@jamiecrawford8133 I wish! I've been collecting these for years! kind of an obsession I guess! Thank you!
That’s the sacrifice nascar had to do to keep the drivers safe.
Thank you for this video it brought back a lot of memories
Thank you, David! Great memories for me too!

How about midwest race cars?
Got a jalopy
Beat up it's not
Foot on the pedal
It's faster than snot!
Gonna race her saturday
Run with the pack
Hope I don't wreck her
Tryin' to win
If I make it tonite
I'll try it agin'
She's old and tired
But I don't care
Fast as the new ones
With power to spare!
Don't know what I'll do
When I'm too old to race
Watch from the stands
Cuz I was the ace
Beatin' and bangin'
Till late at night
Nothin' scared me
Never backed off
Racin' till midnight
Till the finish and end
The Ace all the way
Till next week again...
Who don't know that guy at 3:22
