Nothing like the sound of a 283 in most of these cars and when mated to a 4 speed they're fun to watch!

Screw a bunch of 7 speed dual clutch automatic mid engine cars, and I love Corvettes to death but nothing will ever make my heart beat like a screaming small block with a stick shift. Thank you for taking time out of your life to post this.

I loved this video. Thank you for posting it. A well built small block can put on an amazing show. What fun !!!

big cammed, high winding small blocks with 4 spds! Tough to beat that sound!

Stock and Super Stock = Greatest Class in Drag Racing History. The old Modified Production a very honorable mention.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. You have the best drag racing videos on KZread. No music just action and plenty of it

Nova heaven...love Novas...the 63 is still the coolest when put together right...ENJOY ALL & thanks for the vids...

Thanks for all the videos man , love those old nova's

I love these SS/K cars

Ain't nothing better than a 4 speed shootout! Stick Shift's for Life!

Great video thanks i didnt realize so many novas still existed i bracket race a 65 nova in Minnesota it is fun but expensive but like any other addiction you figure out how to feed it have a great day be safe.

Not enough 66 novas ;) Cool vid thanks for posting

that is SS racing at its finest ,Rob is my need 4 speed

Love the 65 Nova

Great video!!

I literally work around the corner from this track. You can easily hear the cars on a nice spring day. It's music to my ears. I would live there if I could. A lot of wet weather around here, though. It's an absolute crap chute when planning for a dry track.

How'd that Mustang get in there?

the 67 chevy was one of a kind

Great video

so a track on a downhill slope to flat track? kinda like Katie Raceway in reverse.

Quick little small blocks, nice revs

Mahalo Rob! Your's are among the best drag racing vids on KZread...

Dropped off at the HRP track! My uncle had a Union 76 station in Mo'ili'ili and my cousins drag raced; nearly all the employees there in the late '70s/early '80s raced. '80, another uncle from Ewa Beach and I raced a '65 Nova SS in outlaws and brackets, then I turned the thing into a street-legal Stock class-legal car. Class racing died out and my Wahiawa racing friends all began to go automatic, built some wild motors up there! That's about the time I began to run the iron-head LT-1 motors. Lots of us had car numbers starting with '7'--770, 780, 768, etc. Lotsa fun; someday will build my 454 SS truck the same way--a street-legal N or O Stock Automatic--even though HRP is now closed, there's hardly any class racing (IHRA on the B.I., 'FT' class; Mana, Kaua'i is a NHRA track) and we have to ship our cars to Kaua'i, Maui and Big Island to race. Malama pono!

In HS I drove my Mom's 64 Chevy ll . Didn't go like these. Very cool.

Forgot the Mustang. It's a 289!

Old Chevys do not die, they go and live it up in Hebron, Ohio at National Trail Raceway. 😉

Small block V-8s that wind into the Twilight Zone! 👏👏👏

Actually they are not that high of rpm with the near stock heads and carb size limit. If you like small block revs check out the old nhra modified production class. That was fun

Best class in all of drag racing.

The Nova Nationals!

Heaven looks like the inside of Justin's garage, it smells like the inside of Larry's leather equipped Shelby GT 500, and it sounds like a 10,000 RPM Small Block Chevy. How could you possibly know to make this just for me? Thanks for posting this. A side note, in 1970 I had a 327 4 speed 65 Nova post car. It didn't sound like these and it ran 14.60, perhaps it needed a tune up!

Guy in the last comment wants to know what K stands for. It stands for badass.

Skip to 7:39 for a sweet double wheelie shot!

All 283 220hp, except the Chevelle, it's a 327 250hp. If most people saw the carburetors on these cars, they would not believe it. LOL Fast stuff.

What does "K" stand for?

@mfr440

‘K’ is the NHRA class determined by the weight to HP ratio of each combination. Mostly 283 cubic inch engines in the Novas, 327 in the Chevelle, and 289 in the Mustang.

Anyone know the ci limit on k class ?

@fcaughli

I don't think there would be any ci limit. It is by nhra factored HP per pound. These cars are likely all chevy 283's and the mustang is a 289
