    1/4 mile racing is so much better for the spectator. Refreshing to see the old school stuff... big cubic inch big blocks, carburetors, high compression running a full 1/4 mile

      That's what the Midwest super stock outlaws we're about . some are still around
      Chicago wise guys were cool. A lot of these guys run procharger now
      Long burnouts and wheels stands on purpose for the crowd then run 790s

    I like the shots of the cars crossing the finish line, with the chutes coming out! Great stuff.

      Yes this 1/4 mile racing is what all should be. The 1,000 foot and 1/8th mile are nothing to prove horsepower.

    I like the old days when I trailered my '62 Chevy II to the track. Off loaded, check the tire pressure and got in line. No crew, just me. Make a pass, changed jets and maybe timing, get back in line and try again. Once I got it as fast as it would go, I'd load up and go home. That night, I would drive it to the street races on Van Nuys Blvd.

  • @quickdeuce
    @quickdeuce Před 5 lety +9

    Another outstanding video UHBV! Thank you! Wow, Byron barely has enough shut down for the mid 7 and quicker cars doesn't it! However, when Byron was built, 150mph was fast and they had plenty of track,, it wasn't built for 200+ mph runs!! We really appreciate you having a camera at the shut down end,, that's some cool sounds as they try to slow those beasts down and make the turn into the return lane.

    • @conservative3130
      @conservative3130 Před 10 měsíci

      Track in Pittsburgh with a longer shut off area but they now all run 1/8 mile. Fake news racing. 1/4 mile is the real deal.

      flycatchful probably bc even this channel has decided to name itself as “hillbilly...”, maybe that’s why people generalize the sport

    I’m new to the sport and think I prefer this era of cars and the 1/4 strip rather than the cars raced today and the 1/8 strip. Do any others share that opinion?

  • @pearltiger2003
    @pearltiger2003 Před 5 lety

    This really shows you how hard turbos appeared into the scene and changed so much. I didn't watch the whole thing but almost, and I didn't catch any exhausts exiting through the body panels. I see some cars today that even without turbos, the exhaust still exits the lower front fenders. Well, just watched again and I did see some exhausts were side exits here. Still very few though.

    • @stevenriordan3996
      @stevenriordan3996 Před 5 lety

      Lynn Livingston if the car is lowered then we don't have much choice but out the side ,turbo or not .

    • @pearltiger2003
      @pearltiger2003 Před 5 lety

      @@stevenriordan3996 , I guess today you get them much lower than we ever did, even though we had a hard time just getting a floor jack underneath sometimes. We had headers specifically designed for ground clearance too. But, I can remember lots of dents and dings on the bottom of the headers, and if we ever lifted the front wheels it nearly always meant a new set of headers. The first time I saw side exit exhaust I thought the site and sound was too weird! : ) Now it is the norm.

    does this track go down hill?

    • @calvinh.8882
      @calvinh.8882 Před 5 lety

      They say that the 1/4 mile is level, but then it has an uphill incline to help slow the cars down, and that the layout of the land and the incline at the end gives the illusion that the track goes down hill.

    That VW Bug is so so stupid without bars on it. If you hook you're going straight up every time. If you spin, the wheel base is so short you'll likely roll when it catches and jerks to the right.
