Now that you know the cars and drivers enjoy the rematches!
Awesome...absolutely awesome!! I follow the NHRA races, and I enjoy whenever the Pro Stock cars are at the line. There's no denying that the technology on these cars have come a long way since the early days of the class, however there was a certain magic to leaving the line without the aid of an MSD 2-Step Rev Limiter, as well as testing the starting line with the dry hops. Additionally these cars looked exactly like their street counterparts, and weren't bound by paint jobs that just showcased their sponsors. Thank you Reher Morrison Shepherd, Bill Jenkins, Warren Johnson, Bob Glidden, Frank Iaconio, Sox & Martin, Arlen Vanke, Butch Leal, Gapp & Roush, and all of the other drivers, owners, and crews, as well as the guys (and girls) responsible for the tribute cars and for keeping the 'Old Days' alive for the fans!!
Yep, I agree, that era was one of the best in history for drag racing!! Glad I got to witness it and be part of it!
This would be my most favourite drag racing to watch.
Love that Dodge Colt. You don't see those too much.
NHRA banned the Dodge Colts from Pro Stock because they were made in Japan. This put Mopar behind the 8 ball for years until Glidden's Plymouth Arrow in the late 70s.
This is waaaay better than modern "pro stock".
This is awesome!!
I gave up on NHRA long ago, had no idea there was something like this going on!!

Great video!
back in the days when the cars looked like the ones on the streets
Ahhhh. The good Old days. Long burnouts. Dry hops. Real hatred of the other drivers. Ahhhhhh
I'm feeling that these Older Cars are saving the hyde of these National Events, and it would be a scene to see these Older Cars at newer venues, namely National Events that haven't seen these cars.
Thanks for posting. Being the Camaro fan I am I noticed the Reher and Morrison car had a 77 or older body with the 78 or newer front end and tail lights. Such memories. Looking forward to seeing more of these videos.
Thank you and do have another one coming from the super chevy show last weekend
my son built the Reher&Morrison car that Lee Shephard was killed driving (with no seat belts) he worked at Alston Engineering at the time. Lee was making some checkout passes - lost it and with no seat belts sadly killed- great driver a moment of inattention and he's gone. RIP Lee Shephard
This is so much better than cookie cutter PS.
I am confused. The cars all look different from each other. Is this legal?
Lol that's hilarious!
🏆🏁7.09 182 Wow! (Dodge)
awesome video
When drag racing was fun
What drag racing should still be
Kubis had a pro stock arrow? Huh, waddya know.....thats what i get for not paying attention for the last 100 years....
Never been a wj fan but that car looks good
Where’s the supposed legend engine builder and Pro-Stocker Pat Musi he should be there he supposedly a legend in the sport
Dry hops!!!!!
Am I detecting automatic transmissions they're glorified bracket cars not nostalgia pro stockers.
I wonder what motors most are using. Example the AMC, it must be hell finding parts. It would be interesting to know. I really miss old school drag racing. It was much more competitive and the average Joe could race the guys with money.
Excuse me annoucer, it was Don the "shoe" Shumacher not Dyno Don!
Lmfao this isn't top fuel like don Schumacher , he means Dyno Don Nicholson!! History bud
@chadalac1977 Don Schumacher ran Funny Car his son Tony ran Top Fuel
History fact
that aint pro stock! wheres the gear shiften?????
Well the little staging stunt didn't work out for the mopar did it.
hey victory,I see me at 1.27 in this vidspectating
+Smooth Performance What color shirt lol
Wth?! What a disgrace to run some of these cars with automatics in them! No business being out there....
I wrote the pro stock rules for NHRA in 1981- the big change was to allow cars to have alum firewalls and lexan windshields, NHRA was losing prostock cars to AHRA who allowed alum firewalls and lexan windshields when NHRA still demanded OEM windshields and steel firewalls. I also told them to stop factoring weight for the cars -every time a Ford or Mopar was faster GM cried and the Ford/Mopars had to carry ballast till the GM cars won again AHRA cars were faster and that's where racers want to race. I then made the rest of the rules for 500 CID max,2350 lbs car and driver, -2 x 4 bbl carbs ,gasoline and 4 speed trans, they changed for a while to lenco's then back to manual shifted transmissions although the Jericho trans needs no clutch to shift. . still kinda irked over that- NHRA asked for help,I gave it to them did they ever say thanks or give me credit for the rules that made the closest racing in drags ? (no).
I'd normally complain about the automatics, but if the automatics allow for consistent runs, I'll take a slight loss in semantics over seeing the cars being able to make multiple runs without breaking something, missed shifts, etc, etc.
Beyond that, yes, I'd love to see a manual every now and then, but since this is all for the sake of putting on a show for paying fans, yeah, I'll begrudge them the automatic transmission.
no its not some people like an automatics just saying what a disgrace to post a comment like that wtf
RUN A STICK.
OR GO HOME.
That was bitchen.Thanks again.
7.10 lol pro stock is only six tenths faster right now.
Please NHRA, lose the EFI and flatish hoods. Bring back carburators and hood scoops
even when its a WJ replica car, i hate it.
No the grump would not be proud, automatic aint prostock......................
red. tshirt
+Smooth Performance Yeah I think I've seen ya before, holler at me next time you see me
If any of these cars runs an automatics you have no business out there what so ever!!
damn some people like automatics wtf
Ya ok and the so called shifter cars dont even use a clutch after they leave the line ,pretty much a manual automatic at that point so what's your point .
Ur RIGHT. AIR SHIFT AUTO GOTA GO. WIMPS...P
Need to go back to the lenco
hate these clones
Why they let people relive the good old days
