Love these cars! They are definitely iconic. And I think the challenge of making something with the aerodynamics of a cow barn go fast, appeals to a lot of drag racers.
makes me miss my first car. A 57 chevy 2 door poster, three speed top shifter, 4.11, 283, .o60 bore, duntov cam, two fours, and headman headers, I was hard to beat in 1962, for the first five hundred feet....
Excellent content! These cars originally gave me the horsepower fever. My father had a 55' Chevy with a tilt front end, 327 SBC , it was featured in car craft magazine. Every time I build a shoebox now it makes me wonder how some of the younger generation doesn't want muscle cars, this is real racing.
@catmodelt Yes, I went to Oswego drag strip (and Byron drag strip), remember seeing E.J. Potter, the Michigan Madman, at Oswego and Hurst Hemi Underglass there!
Those were the days I miss my 55 what a ride it was built to the max competition orange just a beautiful car I kick myself in the butt for selling it........
Luv'd ever minute of it fellas!! Thanks very much for putting it together and sharing just before Christmas. Even tho there's gobs a footage of it out there I was kinda hoping to see a couple pass's by Ron Crook's bad to tha bone AA/G '55 "Blu by You",, that sum bisch is tri 5 to the MAX!
Good stuff rite here fellas, recon that fella who manhandles his '55 as it took him a "joy slide" thru tha weeds had a pucker factor of 20 -- ON A SCALE OF 0 - 10! (in other words he broke tha pucker string!) AWESUM video!
Which one was my favorite? All of 'em, lol. Actually, Blasphemi was my favorite, I watched as the 426 Hemi was installed. That's one nice piece of work.
This is kinda like porno for old guys like me, go back. play, go back, play. That '55 orange wagon looked like a bullet off the line. I had a '57 in the late '60s with a 283, solid lifter cam and if the tach was accurate it would wind to 7000 RPM no sweat and I didn't have any mercy on it. It was a damn screamer!
I had a 55 competition orange with a 283 solid lifter cam 327 fuelie heads dual-point Corvette ignition built brand new from the ground up those were the days
All dragstrips should be 1/4 mile again. 1/8 miles not a race. My opinion anyway. Still lots of 1/4 mile tracks it's lots more fun running 1/4 mile tracks. looks like a couple of good tracks in the video.
At 3:08, isn't that the wagon that Dom Lagana crashed and lost his legs in? On the street, not wearing seatbelts, and with professional drag racers who should have known better?
The 55 that ended up in the weeds got lucky. Glad it stayed rubber side down.
I don't think some people realize how much torque it takes to pull the front wheels of a 3000 pound vehicle off of the ground. Love it!

The weight distribution on 55 56 57 chevys were superb you can drop in any motor and haul ass
Long live these chevys. God bless
Beautiful cars. This is a true love affair between car owners and their cars. I had a "55" white monster Chevy before it quit on me.

Sick!
Think I liked that orange 55 gasser, except for the ridiculous blower scoop. And of course the black 57 was beautiful.
Awesomeness
At 1:47 is when you realize just how fast these cars are going. Sometimes on a TV screen a nice straight run doesn't look all that fast
this shit is dope great video
What's in the orange 57 wagon? Man!
It's a 55
Show 🏁🇧🇷

Contact us if you'd like media credentials for the Midwest Drags. June 1st - 5th 2020.
Enjoyed, but would like to see the time in the run last long enough to read
I'd like to see a race car named BAD HOMBRE
The tracks where people are standing off to the side with no wall should be closed down or fix the problem.
11:53 I bet there was a few pairs of muddy undies on that one dam
2:55 Blasphemi
Means nothing !!!!! with out the ET !!! Ex Gaser! Drag Racer!!!!
Yellow Taxi.
All dragstrips should be 1/4 mile again.
1/8 miles not a race. My opinion anyway.
Still lots of 1/4 mile tracks it's lots more fun running 1/4 mile tracks. looks like a couple of good tracks in the video.
I guess insurance at racetracks has something to do with it. I've only raced on 1/4 mile myself.1/8 It kind of limits top speeds.
@catmodelt Adopted? interesting that you point that out.
Some of the best tracks are 1/8 mile.
01:46
Holy sh*+ Holy sh*+
Those guy's probably need new undies 😥
Quevtipos de motores le ponen ho es el fábrica
I hate 1/8 mile racing!
reminds me of the SRC videos
5:38 do the twist
At 3:08, isn't that the wagon that Dom Lagana crashed and lost his legs in? On the street, not wearing seatbelts, and with professional drag racers who should have known better?
Ok
Some of these dragstrips offer very little protection for the spectators.
Is it just me, or does anyone else play this video loud while using the restroom ,to help camouflage loud farts?
Just you.
@@randallmcinnis117 oh
@@randallmcinnis117 you made me blush
Take it to a house
Ford falcón please
Dang video ant worth a crap if you people don't show all the E.T. s
A lot of these cars have poor suspensions
These r old heavy cars.
You clearly don't know anything about cars.
I hate 1/8mile drags. 1320 or nothing
You're an idiot then.
1/8 mile, waste of my time!
Than go away.
your a waste of are time
Those people down range at 1:45...🫣💩☠️
