Big Red is a freaking legend! So many different types of racing has transpired from that car. It's also the godfather of the pro-touring movement. Glad to see it back running after the major fire a couple of years ago.

Bro you took the words right out of my mouth! This car has been competing since the late 80s! And has evolved numerous times over the decades. It has had a movie/documentary made about the car and driver. Big Red has had a cameo appearance in the Fast and Furious movies! This car is Legendary!

Big Red and the Crusher Camaro really hooked me on cars back when I was a kid. Glad to see both are still going strong all these years later.

Silver State Classic..

Just a legend of a car. This was a instant classic at the silver state challenge. (Not many people are aware of its origins)

The Crow: "look at this ridiculous wing" Big Red: "hold my beer"

"Thanks for being being a fan" How could ya not be? This thing is wicked cool. And it's (undoubtedly) not even it's final form.

I remember translating a speedhunters article about Big Red around a decade ago, glad to see this car still kicking ass)

The first Protouring Musclecar. Im amazed you guyz dont do more vids on this beast. Bigred is the first super Musclecar to do 200 mph on a closed course on a public road. Back in the day it was a supercar asskicker. In 1989 this beast did 200 + mph in race held in Nevada called the silver state classic. I'll never forget this one of a kind car. Thank you RJ and crew for showing the old school is still giving up a fight for records.

"thanks for being a fan" much more original than the usual " appreciate it"

Pro touring car #1. Man I’ve loved this thing for so long. What can’t they do with it?!

It sounds so gnarly, because the exhaust just runs straight from front to back, without any bends you hear every pop and crackle mixed together at the same time. I have the very same set up.

That car is a legend i remember first time that i saw in Hot Rod magazine

Glad to see they rebuilt Big Red again. Last I saw it was totaled. But that was some time back. I believe Amazon Prime Video had the documentary series on the history and ongoing efforts of Big Red and the team to compete in every type of motorsport out there.

God I remember watching the livestreams and watching big red run. But every time he pulled up chat all went "Stupid wing car!!!" And it was hilarious. The wing does look stupid, but function>looks so often. The wing is insane.

Big Red Is A Racing Legend!!! He has a Great back story!

I remember those giant wings on the rice burners back in the day. People would yell, "hey, the airport is back there..."

Is it actually a 69 Camaro it just a 69 body on a chassis, not sure but I think they said it was a 69body on a tube chassis way back in the 90s

I love how the drive by it sounds like it's running at about 4000 rpm and he's just cruising by, and it's showing 215mph I remember reading about Big Red 35ish years ago in some car magazine when it was won the Silver State Classic

That 216 pass looked so much faster... Love you big red!!!

The dude is creeping up there. He really reminds me of my uncle Danny. Really cool.

OMG!!! That thing sounds absolutely insane and incredible

Are there rules to land speed racing in the unlimited class? Like size of tire how much fiberglass etc etc

You need a DB meter for some these cars that would be crazy to see how loud some of them get up to

Such a legendary car....

Awesome ride. I turbo'ed my '69 Camaro back in the day, 14lbs boost, no waste gate (hey, I was in high school ... I was learning), estimated 500hp ... I LOVE Big Red !! Thanks for filming it. Question to the Big Red guys - any thoughts on going to Bonneville?

Most badass car and nicest people everrr. They came up here to Loring Air force Base, Northern Maine. They were soooo nice to my son and even gave us shirts and stuff and signed them. They actually wanted to talk with us, not just sign and walk off.

That's Big Red! I saw it race in the 80's

Are you guys do coverage of rmrw 2.0? I still waiting for it...

Interviewing next to this car, I wouldnt hear a word.. just staring at the Camaro, jaw open.

I tell you what, people laugh and take the piss but there's a hell of a lot to be said for those big fixed wings we're starting to see more and more of lately. They make a big difference to stability and staying in a straight line. Anyone who knows anything about aerodynamics will tell you. It's just a matter of time before more and more racers catch on to just how much of a difference it actually makes.

I love this car!!!
