Okay, that was pretty amazing... When I saw the third "T", I thought, is that Scott! Lol. FYI Scott, thanks again for the ride in the T and DS a couple of weeks ago... total time machine.
Model T racing must have been a blast. I thought the idea of off center boring the babbets was a very cool way to increase compression. I would suspect the babbets would have to be re-poured and re-bored after every race. The welding up the camshafts and Porting and polishing the carburaitors and intake was cool too. Those old mechanics were very creative. I really enjoyed watching this video. Good stuff
Gentlemen, best video yet. The radio clip at the end of the video was priceless - especially with the opportunity to read the racing bill with all of the rules and regs. Cool rides all over, great DIY from those crafty racers of yore. Superb!!!
A wonderful history lesson on Model T racing. I love to hear the passion y'all have for the cars. Great sound and that's a cannon for an exhaust. Scott's T is great also. Keep up the great videos.
Number 19 is awesome! No brakes, no starter, risking getting run over every time you start it, flames shooting everywhere! Love it!!! When they talk about "the good idea days" this is the kind of stuff they're talking about!
Absolutely bloody brilliant. I found myself smiling from ear to ear spontaneously when you started them up. Just wonderful. The history. Just imagining it as it was back then. Magica!. Brilliant. Thank you.
Man!! I sure wish I could get up there with my T speedster, it looks like so much fun! Those are beautiful examples of original racers. They look great with Scotts and side by side. I've watched some videos of your races and I modeled my exhaust header from one of the cars using a vaporizer manifold inverted. Awesome episode guys.
That model T racing looks like you would have a great time, and actually useing them, thanks guys, love the old stuff, excellent video, all the best to yous and your loved ones
1/2 expected Scott to roll down the window and yell,"You Hooligans better get your jalopies off my lawn"!! Those racer are perfect for 'Dean's Greasy Flips'.Bodies are gone and they have almost the full 'floor delete' already.Guess the major difference is........they run.
Words cannot express my absolute love I have for the content you guys post. I've watched Jim on cold war motors now for i guess 5 years and though id seen the best. Between these two channels i can't decided which is more amazing. The bell ring behind the counter and the demonstration of the really old stuff is a fun combo that takes me way back to my childhood. Id love to see the rubber hose stretched across the parking lot hooked to the dinger in the garage that alerted the gas jockey there were new customers. (Car pulls in DING DING) I loved hearing that bell as a kid along with watching the windows getting washed. Keep it up and im sure Hollywood will be knocking on your door soon. This way of life needs to be preserved and not forgotten and you're carring the torch. This is a working museum and I just love hearing the history.
My heart skipped a beat when #19 started on that wobbly jack stand. Then I saw the two ton forklift strategically located a foot in front of it, ha ha.😆
fun fact ,the founder of the Lions Club international Melvin Jones was born in Fort Thomas ,Arizona. we love our old cars down here in Arizona. you guys are a hoot!! thx for the entertainment
Those are so cool, and what a neat history. It was fun to see Scott pull up in the whole one. The sound always reminds me of a Ford tractor. #19 has a pulse jet booster engine, lol.
Man....I would love to rip around a dirt track in one of these. No brakes would worry me though.... If you guys love these, You really need to ride in my Roadster.
Oh my God you guys, what a great video! Who doesn't want to make a stove pipe exhaust now! Love the content, beautiful shop and cars. Thanks for keeping the old cars alive.
Such an interesting and informative video by a man who obviously has a real passion for these great racers. I'm building a T racer here in England and your content is such an inspiration for me. As you rightly say, those two race cars are folk history and should be preserved and used. Thanks so much!
Gentlemen.. that was a great video! Thanks for posting it. But watch out for that fancy guy with the beard in the la-tee-dah closed-cab job. Not sure about him.
Stock car "refinements" aren't cheating, It's about how much you can get away with! The beauty of vintage racing was anyone could do it and could afford to do it! You might not be as competitive but you were guaranteed to have fun!
Essentially the Model T race cars were largely standard, they would take off lights mud guards etc to make it lighter! Weld the broken crank shaft, it CAN be Done!! On average Model T used about 6--1 compression, Model A was the same engine basically but higher compression hence more power! Nice flame thrower on No19 there 🤣😀 Scott from Cold War Motors the standard Model T coupe.
I clicked on this by chance and I didn't make the connection to Strong's Garage. I thought to myself. "Boy that sure looks like Jim from CWM" When He said "Yah, yah" I knew it was him. The clincher, though was when Scott showed up in his T. Great video, guys! I can't wait to see these beauties in action.
Hi there! Very cool old racers! I like that the main safety feature on them is the lack of seat belts so that the drivers can be thrown clear of any crash. As soon as the tall T was in the shot it was clear Scott was making a guest appearance. Have way too much fun racing the old iron & do your best not to get killed or maimed in the process!
Not only are you saving these pieces of history, by taking the time to record these videos and share the content you have created a museum quality exhibit that you share to a worldwide audience in perpetuity on you tube. Massive thumbs up to you all.
That is a fantastic video, all around! Back to a time when "Pacemaker" meant something other than it does today. HA! Great cars! Beautiful, in fact. Thank you all for your efforts, it is appreciated!
I love anything Model T, those racers are definitely cool pieces of History! I just drove my Dad's 27 Touring to work yesterday, had a blast! I have a rolling chassis and rebuilt 25 engine & transmission, I might need to build one of these...
Picking up my first T project tonight here in Saskatchewan. Can't wait to dive in and start obsessing over every piece. Thanks for the inspiration gents. Hope to see you at the races this year in your home town.
That was great fun ! (The shot of the 3 Ts in the field was just something really special .) I think that this kind of racing was more relevant ,just as exciting and possibly even more fun than just about anything seen today . Speeds were lower , costs a fraction of what you would pay now but guts and ingenuity made for victory . Wonderful !
Miss my 20 Speedster. Had a Wakasha Ricardo head on it Hemi pistons, and oversized Cadilac valves. Full race cam. Bored 30 over, electronic ignition, and hot coil. Also converted to 12 volts. Had a 26 rear end 4:10 gearing with big brakes. I ran wooden bands in the transmission because they seemed to run cooler and you could grab the low band much harder. Also had 26-27 wires wheels on it. Had it up to 70 one time, sounds like a sewing machine running flat out. The front tires and wheels felt like a gyro even though they were well balanced at 70. Guess they weren't made to go that fast, but I beat the other Speedster by a mile or more. My number was 13. When I sold it at auction it ended up in Nebraska somewhere? Always wondered where it is now. That was about 15 years ago give or take. Anyhow, I really liked your Speedster racer video.
It is so amazing these cool Ts have survived.. So many have fallen by the way side as just another 30 yr old X race car that can not compete and is taking up room in the barn... Eh...cut it up to fix the tractor... 🚬🐕
Great Video!! Both cars are awesome - gotta love the stove pipe exhaust on the #19! As to the radio broadcast at the end it's amazing someone even bothered to record it but even more amazing that it survived as most things like this are lost to time...

Oh man, that #19 T is pretty gnarly. Would love to see that thing turn some laps!

Those old race cars are just way too cool. Amazing that they survived all these years.
Very interesting, its nice to see history items of Alberta.
Ding ding, YEAH!
Very very cool

Can't wait till you race them. Great job preserving them.
Thanks for another great video!!

Dean's greasy flips needs to sponor the official L"T"D pace car, for the race.
Get his edsel out there as pace car LOL!

The drivers had a death wish.
@@tarstarkusz They were treading new ground and experimenting. Having fun. Going as fast as they could. And I respect them all for doing so.
@@TheStwat I do too. That doesn't change the fact that these rigs are dangerous.
Awesome gentlemen
Very cool old race cars and visit from Scott 3 T's in a field 😎👍
Scott's coupe coming across the field really demonstrated the capability of those Ts.
Man!! I sure wish I could get up there with my T speedster, it looks like so much fun! Those are beautiful examples of original racers. They look great with Scotts and side by side. I've watched some videos of your races and I modeled my exhaust header from one of the cars using a vaporizer manifold inverted. Awesome episode guys.

Awesome! Love the flames! Must have been a beast to drive!
Was that jet assisted take off legal??
That jack which is just a lever on wheels is marvellous. Sometimes the simplest solution is just the best.
the race telecast at the end put the iceing on the cake......thank you
The explosion and the flame when you rev it is the cherry on top
The Field of Dreams with a bunch of T's..!
in a world of parts changers, it's nice to see some actual mechanics. thanks for these vids!
Awesome presentation!
Thanks for a good show and a fun look at vintage racing
This was the top video by my estimation so far, i'm 70 years old and i want to drive old yeller just once.

..wow...luved learning the history there guys.....a cameo by Scott, and the calling of the race at the end were icing.....
Haha cool! There’s our grandpas car!
Glad to see it’s being well loved and well taken care of. And yes, there are many cool stories about that car.
Very well done. Thank you for sharing. Please continue.
Great content. History and automobiles, can't beat that. 😁👍
Those are so cool, and what a neat history.
It was fun to see Scott pull up in the whole one.
The sound always reminds me of a Ford tractor.
#19 has a pulse jet booster engine, lol.
Man those cars are so cool I love the 19 car with the stove pipe exhaust and the flames popping out of it that thing is a beast I love it
Fascinating. Loved the radio broadcast. Very cool cars.
On the Belch Fire T I couldn't help but notice how close the gas tank was to the flame belching exhaust. Awesome!
What a brilliant video. Amazing to see these cars still around. You have to show us the race. What a great pieces of history, Great work guys.
Good morning from the Great Southland, great vid. Nice to see the three Ts and Scott from CWM. Looking forward to more vids on the T and T racing.
I bet he bought chips on the way home.
@@Hanzyscure would have to include a chips run for sure.
Well that's just SO wild! Starting it by spinning the tire and shooting flames!
That a nice piece of history 👍 and you can cook hot dogs at the track.
Man....I would love to rip around a dirt track in one of these. No brakes would worry me though....
If you guys love these, You really need to ride in my Roadster.
#19 is a real 'chitty-chitty-bang-bang!
#19 was disqualified for technical reasons. Someone noticed the nitrous bottle. Love that flamethrower of an exhaust pipe.
Oh my God you guys, what a great video! Who doesn't want to make a stove pipe exhaust now! Love the content, beautiful shop and cars. Thanks for keeping the old cars alive.

24 is cool but 19 is fantastic, thanks
Amazing video. Thanks guys!!!
Gentlemen.. that was a great video! Thanks for posting it.
But watch out for that fancy guy with the beard in the la-tee-dah closed-cab job. Not sure about him.
Would love to see those 2 racers running on the track. I'll have to stay tuned.

Holy hell does that #19 bark! Would love to see something like that fly around a dirt track.
You guys need an outro. I already voted it up but many people do it on the outro. Fantastic content!
That is so cool, and for the guys back in the day that came up with the ideas to hotrod those cars is crazy. Well done!!!
Excellent!
Fantastic video! Starting that Model T by turning the rear wheels was so cool!
Nice to hear the Chevy running. Hope you guys will restore it as I think it would look awesome all done.
Thanks for this great video. I had no idea before this of Model T racing or its' purpose, let alone the history of the sport in Canadian racing.
I clicked on this by chance and I didn't make the connection to Strong's Garage. I thought to myself. "Boy that sure looks like Jim from CWM" When He said "Yah, yah" I knew it was him.

So cool. Great video. Your best yet.
Really wonderful video 👍 would absolutely love to get a T coupe project someday

Cool stuff. Can’t wait to come out to your races in Bruderheim.
Funny that #19 was DQ’d for technical reasons. SHENANIGANS!!lol
cool to see the 3 model Ts and old radio sounds. great show guys. cheers
Hey guys Great Episode! Scott's T was the icing on a very tasty cake! Thanks!
very, very, cute shade tree mechanics.

Thanks much!

i love edmonton i come up from the usa and play there with my band sometimes..i miss edmonton!!!
that is so friggin cool....start the eng. by putting trans in hi gear and give the tire a spin....if i didnt see it i wouldnt believe it
Pretty much like starting a John Deere two cylinder by the side flywheel, but it'll go a whole lot faster!
Man, you guys have all the fun...
It's great how these old cars handle the rough paddock with ease.
Great to see Scott brought along his T as well.

This was a very enjoyable video to watch and listen to. Amazing what they used to do for speed. Good Luck with these cars.
Thanks for the T talk. I love them bodies or in race clothes. Of my 3, one was an original 27 racer.
