That was cool. Never ridden in '50's or '60's cars. Used to go by a classic car consignment shop years ago. Happened to be looking around one day while the shop attendant was arranging the cars one day. He fired up one of the beast. 💨Dugga da Dugga da Dugga da 😲Like a big ol kid, "Can I ride wit ya?" 😮"Sure." 🤤 Climbed in🤪. Only exited the garage, 1/4 block, turned right and into a showroom but I enjoyed all 26 seconds of the ride. 💪👍🚗
Anglias are awesome but you have to do your best to keep one going in a straight line. Great driving, awesome pass, and a wonderful car you have. Thank you
that pole at the beginning after you did your burnout really thought that was going to become a problem, cause right after the burnout it almost got stuck under the gas pedal....
Andrew Silva it's a piece of plastic tube I use to reach the ignition key. When I have the safety harness on I just can't reach the key. I store it between the seats but it worked it's was loose after the burnout.
Just found this and I’m deep into my 51 prefect gasser build ..thanks for some more motivation! No white stick in my car !! Mine is an English bodied 51 prefect that found its way to Australia. Running a 327 powerglide combination. Looking forward to running this in the Australian nostalgia drag scene. Respect from down under.
The stick is my Key extension unit. I can’t reach the ignition with my harness on. It’s normally stored in the door pocket but on this run it fell out onto the floor 😂😂
Hi Bill I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. It's not the easiest car to drive being such short wheelbase with a blown big block but it is fun. They say you should do something every now and then that scares you. Well this is it. Thanks 👍
Thanks for the offer but I think I'm too old to do that anymore. Back in 1973 I had a couple of friends with stock Anglias and I had a stock 1948 Austin A40 Dorset (2 door). Long sold off. BUT I still have my Austin J40. If you're not familiar with J40's check them out on line. . Bill in B.C. Canada
Cool Cabin & would look TWICE as cool with some interesting AngliA or 'POPLAR' Horn emblem on the Steering Wheel. What are the ets? I'd like to See the OUTSIDE of it. Thanks 🏁
Thanks. To date I’ve run a best of 11.24 which isn’t great considering the Blown Big Block Motor. It should run in the mid to low tens But as you can clearly see in the video I ain’t the best drag racer 😂😂
The launch seemed soft not a violent hit/shock. Is that because you need to load out the blower? He was really gaining on the 55, did he win. Thanks excellent video.
Wish I could've seen the outside of the car , trying to figure out what kinda car it was , from the looks of the inside maybe a Volkswagen , like how you kept it old school with the 4 speed 👍👍 😈☠👍✌✌
It’s just a plastic tube with a slot in the end. When I have the harness on I use it to reach the ignition kit. On this run it fell out from where I store it. No big issue 👍
You’re supposed to keep your foot planted when you’re running through the gears. To each his own I suppose. On the plus side, you won’t have to replace the clutch, or driveline components as frequently.
I *used to* have a T5 where I always planted the right foot. The optimal words are "used to." I just installed a TKO600, but fully intend to keep that right foot planted , so I hope this one holds up! BTW, it will buy you a good 2 seconds.
You want to talk about someone not knowing what they are talking about? That would have to be you Matthew Fogarty. You know absolutely nothing about me, what I know, who I am, or anything else for that matter. I will tell you, on the other hand, what I know about you. You are an arrogant, rude, jerk. You write as though you are some sort of authority on this subject, which you may or may not be, but you felt some need to interject your ignorant sarcasm to show everyone how clever you are in comparison. It actually showed quite the opposite. How about this, instead of going around on UA-cam spouting this garbage, you might want to reflect on what is causing you to use this method to make yourself feel better. I doubt that is working either.
Ok Matthew, I think I see where you are coming from and believe that I can now appreciate your “swift and harsh response” to my relatively pleasant comment on someone else’s video. You called it as you saw it, "drivel.” I also noted where you said, “I can read people real good so sue me!!” See? I can relate. Now, with my weakness and naivety aside, I would like to clarify a few things that we may both be on the same page. I’m not a kid. I won’t tell you my age because you’ll just tell me it’s time to take my Geritol and go to bed, but I think maybe you could appreciate what my “drivel” was based upon with a little more information; I designed and with my brother, built a state of the art 1/4 mile NHRA sanctioned facility that hosted NHRA Divisional events amongst hundreds of other events. This was with direct coordination with Wally Parks, NHRA President, Lex Dudas, Southeastern Division Director, and Bill Holt, NHRA’s Division 2 Manager for Gainesville, Florida, not to mention the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, other jurisdictional departments, and many others. Under construction, we did have general contractors, but I also was on a bulldozer or scraper, laying pipe in a ditch, driving piles, surveying, and doing whatever needed to be done to make sure this came to fruition. I have been involved in drag racing since around 1965. I say “around” so you still don’t have enough information to tell me to go to bed. No BS as you’d say, I have probably built more engines than you have teeth in your head. I’m really not an ignorant herb. And, for the record, I schooled numerous new racers during test and tune nights on how to get their cars ready for tech inspection, how to stage, how to gauge the lights, and how to shift and drive to get more out of their cars. And yes, believe it or not, many of them picked up at least two seconds when someone helped them hone their racing interests. Your uncle was right, you were just wrong on this one. Hey, we all make mistakes. That's ok too. I’m hanging loose for the rest of the night on your recommendation.
Matthew, I have skinned a lot of knuckles since I was twenty something and I plan on skinning many more. Just remember, hard work makes the man. Thank you for your apology, I too apologize. Enjoy life.
Had a 70 bug in high school was driving one day and a baseball rolled from under the seat and got caught under the brake pedal thankfully I was in a mall parking lot and only going 10 mph
NeilLB7 That's my key extension unit. When I have the seat harness on I can't reach the ignition key in the centre of the dash. I cut a piece of plastic tube And put a slot in it which fits over the key. It just fell off the seat when I did the burn out 👍
TargaWheels I can’t remember on this actual run but it normally runs in the 11.20s at around 122mph. It would run a second quicker with a glide but then all the fun would be gone. Cheers.
That's what I was thinking. The car I had ran mid 12's with a Muncie. The guy that bought it from me couldn't do much better, put a powerglide in and got it in the high 11's.
Another one who doesn’t know how to drag race with a 4 speed. Never lift off the gas just stand on it and stomp on the clutch while shifting. You might have to steer to the left a little while shifting to keep the car straight. Oh, almost forgot, don’t miss a shift or you’ll break parts. That’s the only way to have fun with a 4 speed at the track.
Couldn’t stop staring at that white stick, made me nervous lol
@Scott Robinson Using the Braille method to get down track
Me too, but the second he took off it was no problem lol
@Rayden Lane You always answer yourself on your burner account, moron?
@Inocencia Monsen reported you on about 2 dozen videos now! Keep going idiot!
@@stewpidaso7145 Yeah, until he wrecks and the goddamned thing goes through his head!!!
hard to imagine any other activity that could make me so excited. thanks for the ride.
I love watching people grab gears like that as the car gains on the other lane .awesome .

More More More ! I'll watch every pass you show. Thanks.
Anglias are awesome but you have to do your best to keep one going in a straight line. Great driving, awesome pass, and a wonderful car you have. Thank you
I have an "adopted" son that likes to race these things at Quaker City Dragraceway in Salem Ohio. Carbed small block Chev. turns 9.6 in 1/4 mi.
My old stomping groumd
I love the fact that is a 4 speed too. way to row them gears my friend
Al K ..Another Stott nut hugger....
driver seemed pretty casual about that stick rolling under his gas pedal. Nice the way the car was steady and ran down that ‘55 Chivy
Yes and he uses those gears 1-2-3- like a enjoyment
Seriously... Brought tears to my eyes... Makes me remember sitting next to my uncle in his 48' holding on for dear life...
Steven Vitulli. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks.
Thanks for the ride!
That bloody rod had the whole car and rolled under the pedal lol
MAN THATS SUCH A COOL CAR , WISH I COULD FIND ONE, GREAT VIDEO
Santa Pod Raceway in England going by the signage. Santa Pod runs, or ran, a drag racing series called "Outlaw Anglia" for Anglia bodied gasser.
Michael Halsall Outlaw Anglia is a wicked class. So many cool rides in that class and with some of then now knocking on the 6 second pass.
Outlaw Anglia and Santa Pod are still alive and kicking 👍👍
THANKS for the RIDE!!!
Diane T. It’s a pleasure 👍

Nice 👍🏻
What ya running in it?
The stick is my Key extension unit. I can’t reach the ignition with my harness on. It’s normally stored in the door pocket but on this run it fell out onto the floor 😂😂
....you don’t want to reposition the starter to within reach? 😄
Glad it didnt get lodged under the brake pedal
Cool And Sweet Ride !!!
You should probably find another way of storing it
Looks like scrutineering need a wake up call, that’s crazy!
Oh god did that put a smile on my face lol wishing it was me !!!
Great ride along! What a rush😁👍
That you for sharing! Keep having fun.
What a sweet run!
I was so into that, when you cut er loose, I flipped out of the recliner 😯😂
that was so good. Little English Anglia destroys a Chevy. Thanks for posting. Nice ride along.made my day.
Hi Bill I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. It's not the easiest car to drive being such short wheelbase with a blown big block but it is fun.

madengineering I can teach you how to Speed shift if you like!!!!!!!

So you mean the English Anglia powered with a Chevy motor beat another Chevy powered with a Chevy motor that weighs 2X what the Anglia weighs....
Cool, 4 speed too.
Cool Cabin & would look TWICE as cool with some interesting AngliA or 'POPLAR' Horn emblem on the Steering Wheel.
What are the ets? I'd like to See the OUTSIDE of it. Thanks 🏁
Thanks. To date I’ve run a best of 11.24 which isn’t great considering the Blown Big Block Motor. It should run in the mid to low tens But as you can clearly see in the video I ain’t the best drag racer 😂😂
I miss my three pedal cars!
The launch seemed soft not a violent hit/shock. Is that because you need to load out the blower? He was really gaining on the 55, did he win. Thanks excellent video.
Thanks for your comment. The soft launch is for two reasons. 1: it wheel stands really easily 2: I’m not a great drag racer 😂😂
That is a cool ride friend ..
Wish I could've seen the outside of the car , trying to figure out what kinda car it was , from the looks of the inside maybe a Volkswagen , like how you kept it old school with the 4 speed 👍👍
😈☠👍✌✌
Check out the other Anglia Gasser videos on my channel. They are all of this car 👍
It's in the title
American Style English Car. Beautiful
So cool, thanks.
LOVE THOSE 4 SPEEDS !!!!!!!
What up with the white bar at your feet?
Hood prop
I would have put that in a proper place😞😲
I knew it wasn't going to stay there long lol
Now.. that is an E ticket ride..
Hehe. Is that PVC pipe? That was a nice run. Great video.
Really cool!
Fantastic!......😮
That rod rolling around under foot looked very unsafe...great gear grabs though....
What a rush!
Hell yeah !
What is with the stick on the floor rolling around ?
It’s just a plastic tube with a slot in the end. When I have the harness on I use it to reach the ignition kit. On this run it fell out from where I store it. No big issue 👍
I love the car but why don't you leave hard with the thing?
Hell ya. 4 speed. For GO speed
Did you sneak by the other guy?
Not I stormed past without even trying 😂
cool ride....
Come on man, the broomstick stays in the trailer.
Awesome!
So what was the time?
Not sure on that particular run but with my lame driving it’s usually 11.2 ish. With a decent driver it should run in the 10s.

nail'd it , thanx
Was this mans cane white? Oh lord?
Sounds like a m20 muncie
u drove like u were going on a pick nick !!!????
Had a 70 bug in high school was driving one day and a baseball rolled from under the seat and got caught under the brake pedal thankfully I was in a mall parking lot and only going 10 mph
Bad ass hot rod!
If you're going to leave that soft you might as well have an automatic with no trans brake
It was my first season racing and learning how the car reacted. I launch harder now with the wheels in the air 👍👍 I’ll never go auto.
He's a hobby racer & likes to shift. He makes no claim to be a pro shifting.
What fell in the floor after the burnout?
NeilLB7 That's my key extension unit. When I have the seat harness on I can't reach the ignition key in the centre of the dash. I cut a piece of plastic tube
And put a slot in it which fits over the key. It just fell off the seat when I did the burn out 👍
Neil B7,this is unrelated to the video.But is your avatar an American Eagle firetruck?My department has one and Ive not seen very many more.
What did you clock on this run?
TargaWheels I can’t remember on this actual run but it normally runs in the 11.20s at around 122mph. It would run a second quicker with a glide but then all the fun would be gone. Cheers.

Hell yeah Brother 😂
Why do guys feel they can remove all the safety gear while they’re still on the track. Looks like a blown engine. No gloves, no fire suit, no thanks
Goddamned steel pipe rolling around on the floor!!! FFS!!
P.S. Goddamn!! Pop that clutch son, get 'er goin'!!!
The pipe isn’t steel it my plastic white stick. I’m partially sited so need it to find my way around 😂
👍👍
👍👍🇨🇦
cool helmet
almost looks like the Easy Rider hElmet
For Christ's sake what is that stick doing on your floor through. It. the hell out of there
Rocky Easterline that’s my ignition key extension unit. When I’m strapped in I can reach they key on the dash. 😂😂😂
silly havin that junk at ur feet.
Big 59 chevy beaten by an Anglia at the line👍
a little late on the holeshot
All I did was stared at the stick! How da hell can you drive with crap bouncing all over the place!?
It’s a skill I’ve developed over the years 😂😂

Lots of safety violations here!
No protection
Loose crap rolling around the Cab. All you lack is a cup holder with a cracked Busch beer.
Hell yeah brother 😂😂😂
Looks like he needs some drag racing driving lessons, and checking the other comments, they all need lessons
Guy needs to learn how to shift !!!!
SpeedShift to cut et
He don't know how to drive a stick
slow
He needs an automatic cause he damn sure don't know how to shift a 4 speed!!!
You have never driven an anglia😢
