I could watch these races ALL DAY LONG. Rare factory musclecars, not on trailers, going all out like they were built to do. Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed every second of it! Except when the Ram Air II lost. That was a bummer but that's why they call it "drag racing" and not "drag winning" I suppose.

For some reason I am just finding this video. I absolutely love it. I can't get enough!

Cool- brings back memories for me when I saw these cars when then were made

THIS IS THE BEST, real cars racing!!!

this vid is so addictive. if it were 2 hr I'd end up watching the whole thing. the only shady biz I saw was the last race. could have been thrown but the firs half of the video is how these cars run unturned. I love it. I have a 400 Pontiac tuned headers3.42 and go 13.50 104. this vid makes me feel pretty good automatic car too.

At 22:30, that beautiful '71 Mustang 351 sure sounded awesome and ran hard. The Ram Air IV Judge and Stage 1 Buick at 32:30 was a clash of the luxury GM titans, and the result seemed as one would expect (Judge had higher trap speed and the Buick torque pulled ahead at the start). Really good stuff!

awesome....that challenger 440 take the Chevelle 454 for three times

All I can say is this. A 73-74 Chevelle or a Laguna isn't going to run a 13.80 stock. I don't care if it had a 454 producing 270 hp.

Great stuff

They sure leave one hell of a carbon footprint in the lanes! 🤣

A lot of people won't admit it but back in the day when people were first learning about their muscle car in a race as soon as they stomped on the pedal they would stumble on themselves a lot of races were lost that way because of cheap Factory carburetors and then engines not tuned properly.

awesome , reminds me of a 70's Starsky & Hutch preview !!

thanxs much such good work.

This is more fun to watch than the faster cars

The older pure stocks had more of a variety of cars than recent ones . Today Fords dont even show up. This is not a put down for Fords but just a mention

Nice job on this compilation, PSD.

Beautifull original cars

The hornet has a face only a mopar car show would allow, I'm trying to say that mopar guys like myself are very kind hearted

9:10 The Studebaker R4 was not :...even more experimental..." The R4 was the same 304.5 cubic inch displacement as the R3. The R4 had higher 12.5:1 compression and dual four-barrels in place of the R3's single four-barrel and supercharged intake.

Stop lights after 11pm on Morse Road in Columbus, Ohio in the mid 70's. You would get mugged or shot if you drove it today.

Besides the Studebakers 😜

Very good, would be better with what cars are racing and basic info (year, horsepower, production, etc)

Rear gears change the dynamic of launch and et not all cars come with tall gears street car versus race car

Damn them Mopars they have to win everything 😂

pontiac was a force

this would be much more enjoyable......... if it had the details on the screen as in WHO WON, after each race

This is great, stock cars challange eachoter 😎😎

challenger 440

Im from MI and this is the real deal. Did you see that Berger 427 Camaro run a 12.33?? Superchargers are nice, but theres no replacement for displacement.

I cant name the year of these classics

Most of them were made between 1965 and 1971. I believe the Studebakers were made in 1963 or 1964.

what? no low 12's for stock stage one buicks? odd =)

Awesome - Rick Mahoney's RA II 400 Firebird :)

Awesome races, but I don't know how "pure stock" a late 60s Vette is running mid-11s. Tuning, yes, but none of those cars back then could run anything close to that in anything remotely like showroom floor conditions.

I’m calling fouls too. Tuning is great, but let me just say ‘street tires’. Nyet. These times all seemed quick by a full second - across all races and cars.

Yeah, maybe a big block with headers, gears and slicks might do it, but they sure as hell won't on street tires, stock manifolds and stock gear.

hckyplyr9285 trust me the 69 ZL1 427 could definitely run into the 11’s on a Drag tire, & so could the 68 Hemi Dart. & there are several cars that would run into the 13flat high 12’s on a drag tire, cars like the 69 Boss 429, 70 Yenko Nova, 70 Hemi Roadrunner, 70 Buick GSX stage 1 455, 70 LS6 Chevelle, 71 Hemi Cuda.. all on Modern Drag radials would surprise you how quick they are

Nothing new the mopars were the heavy hitters

Did they find that guy's blackberry?

3:30 What could the Studebaker have done with a clean launch?

At his track? Probably a 9.3 or so! Seriously, weren’t those high 14 second cars in the day? Was this downhill?

Are these cars required to run stock street tires?

What are the rules for this class

I want to buy some of these cats in gt6

.46sec that must must be a 6cyl.

wish the announcer would stop talking during the actual run times though

the pontiacs were ubatible at the drag strips in stock form

They tend to lose against mopars every time though, funny how that works.

These cars running in the 12s ain't pure stock.

+ghm389 One of the fastest street cars back then was the Hemi Road runner. My class mate had one and his quarter mile time was 13:46. I never saw mid 12s in any stock cars. Not saying it's not possible. Just saying of all the races I went to back then, never saw the first stock anything off the floor run 12s.

+bob jones yes they probably are if tuned right, real good stock will run, the key is in the tuning

Correct, they are very close to stock but allow for mods. (ported heads - roller tip rockers - upgraded pistons up to 1.5 more compression - 2.5" dual exhaust - upgraded rear axle gearing. wheel hop bars or clamps for leaf springs. Here is a link to the rules. www.fastdrags.com/11.html

I agree a 3500-4000 lb car running 12 seconds is not going to happen. Today a Camaro ZL1 with 650 has 200 hp more than any of these cars had and probably less weight and that thing will probably run high 11's.

Guess the only way a Ford can win is when it's against another Ford
