I will be 79 on my next B-day and have been a drag race enthusiast my entire life. I watched your entire video and loved every minute, almost like being there. Picture quality and sound were tops…thanks for a job well done…
Thank you so very much for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the video!
hell to yeah 😁🤩🤣😅🤪😎
Your footage puts NHRA TV to shame, excellent job!
Thank you so very much for the kind words Don, I'm glad you enjoyed the vid!!!!!!!
I’m 67 and these cars are the era I grew up in. I had no idea there were this many people still competing with these cars. Awesome to see this happening. Unfortunately my local Drag Strip was sold to a logistics company and has been demolished.
So glad you enjoyed Randy. Yes, sadly it seems like the Drag Strips have been disappearing over the years.
I just read that ATCO Raceway has closed for the last time this month.
Throttle power i love the non stop action on this video, very well done thank you for sharing this with us appreciate it
Thank you for the kind words, so glad you enjoyed it!
Fine camera work! I'm an old guy and this was like being there in the '60s, before the big money guys got hold of the sport.
Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the vid!!
oh hell yeah sweet best of the best tanks dou🤗🤩😁
So very true! 👍🙂👍
This is awesome; no talking, no BS, just pure mayhem. Perfect background ambiance for the home. 🤘🔥
Much appreciated Jason, so glad you enjoyed!
My best friend and myself used to do the Hot Rod Reunion every year and with much respect to Wally Park. I was unable to make this year but you fixed that. Thank you sooooo much for your post, it filled in the blanks. Great Job !!!!! look forward to the future. You have my love and respect.
Thank you so much for the kind words, really happy to hear you enjoyed the vid!! 🙂
Thanks Tim, great coverage! Aahhh, those AA/FA are amazing, fast,wild and unpredictable back in the day. The Nostalgia Pro Stockers of the mid-late 70's thru the early 2k were when Pro stock was truly Pro Stock. Let's not leave out those awesome Gassers with the amazing variety of cars from the day! The memories run deep, Thank you once again brother for the great coverage and sharing it with us. Happy Father's day to sir!!!
I agree Joe, they were great, so glad you enjoyed the vid!! And Happy Fathers Day to you too.
Yup,back when Pro Stock was a real class with the people building their own engine programs and car stuff....

Thanks George and you too!
Have never been, but would love to attend at once before I die. Drag Racer and fan all my life. I live in Idaho, so that would be a travel for this 56 year old man.
It's always a good time at the Drags!

Wish we'd have stopped time and stayed happy.
I agree
You do a great job of covering the starting line. Thanks for watching the Belton Cruise video
Thank you for the kind words I'm glad you enjoyed!!
inside of their cars are the coolest.
I agree!
09/25/23' WOW ! shocked to see Ron Hope & Rat Trap still active. I still have an 8 x 10 photo of this car that i shot. Drove from Oregon to the 1996 Bakersfield March Meet, my older brother was good friends with Mr. Hope, a real great guy.
Very cool Steve!!!
Very cool coverage love the gassers but was cool to see some cool prostock and killer funnys
Yes, I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tim, I hope you were wearing ear plugs! My favorite class would probably be the gassers. I love the Willys, Henry Js and tri- fives. The true 60's front engine dragsters and funny cars are awesome too! It was great seeing the Bob Gliddon Fairmont and Reher and Morrison Camaro too. I used to go to this event annually. I need to go back again. And what about that milk truck!
Yes, and I even had a spare set of ear plugs just incase. Those Pro Stock cars were great, so glad you enjoyed the video!!! The milk truck was cool!!!!!!
@@THROTTLEPOWER❤
WOW
Exactly!!
Step back in time, great video, real hot rods not sll big money
I agree John 🏁
So cool!!!
Thank you Jason, so glad you enjoyed!
Hells Yeah 🤘 ❤
👍👍Oh yea!!!!!!!!!!👍👍
Maybe thinkin' of building that Rude Blue Stude at 14:00 there Tim? Miss Deal lookin' real!
And thx for the closeups on Reher-Morrison Camaro for my Revell/Slixx build.
Great coverage -
Love that Stude!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad you enjoyed the vid. 👍
It would nice to see the end of each race!
👍👍
Great footage overall. Thanks for publishing it.
But why o why didn't you zoom in a step or two so we can see the e.t.s??
I don't have a zoom lens.
I hope there was nitro classes for fans even top fuel vs. funny cars and alterds vs. funny cars too. And hopefully for some quarter mile racing like this event has.😮
Yea, there was a little bit of everything there over the weekend.
Super Vidéo 😉 👍. Magnifique 👍 😉 🇺🇸 🇫🇷
Thank you for the kind words Alain, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. 👍🙂👌😊👍
@@THROTTLEPOWER 👍 😉
I went to this event here in Indy last month. Cool event! I'll be going to Good guys event in July in Ohio. That one used to come here long time ago. Can't wait!
Very cool, they are always FUN to attend!!!!!! 👍🏁🙂
@@THROTTLEPOWER I think you had more cars than we had last month. I took ton of photos.
Blast from the past 🏁
I agree!!! 🙂
Wish the nostalgia funny’s would run the old style non skirted bodies! Mickey Thompson, US Marines car is So cool , great body ! Where’s the Pulde ‘War Eagle ‘ Dale? Slide it in there with the Harrell cars !
I agree!!!!! 👍🏁👍
I would to see a usps delivered mail vehicle race at one day and ems van .That would spice things up.
I agree! 🏁
Really nice video, Tim!
Thank you very much!
entirely too cool!!!!!!!!!
So glad you enjoyed!!!!!
@@THROTTLEPOWER used to go to SpringNationals in Tulsa. Got to see the Snake, Mongoose, Shirley, Garlits and a REAL young Force do battle. Golden times.
@@billenright2788 Super cool!!! Yes, those were the Golden Times........... Man where does the time go??
I can feel the rumble!
Oh yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video 👍
Thanks 👍
You get 10 points if you know who Topo Gigio is bro? Love the Red and White 55. I saw that car go into the guardrail once.
Several of us geezers are old enough to remember Ed Sullivan's show, too easy.
Where does the time go Don, it's moving along way to fast.
The Wild bunch for me. Great camera work Tim.
So glad you enjoyed Frank!!
@@THROTTLEPOWER I did matey
@@frankcerne7613 👍🙂👍

Which car club is this? Is it SEGA Southeast Gasser Association and other Dragracing Clubs having Fun , if it SEGA I follow you on FB ,lately I haven't been on it ,anyways I Love this Footage of the 60s/70s era of Dragracing, thank you All
That was put on by Holley and the NHRA Motor Sports Museum. Probably the BEST Drag Racing event I've ever been to out at Beech Bend Raceway Walt. So glad you enjoyed the vid!!!!!!
👍👍💯
Thank you, glad you enjoyed! 👍👍
10:10. Oh snap.
Yep!
I'm a bit surprised there was no cackle fest
There was, it was Saturday night. I could only attend on Friday.
@@THROTTLEPOWER darn it 😔
@@morphman21 🙂
@@morphman21 I had so much fun at that show (and it was big with the Swap Meet and Car Show) that I'm hoping to go all weekend next year.
I prefer the nostalgia drag cars. They actually look like the cars they were supposed to be copied after.
I agree!!!
Jesus how'd I live so long too regret doing so?
😉
Is this going to be a annual event at Bowling Green, I missed it this year but I sure would like to attend this event.
I'm thinking so!
52 US Nationals, would have been 53 if it wasn't for the year off COVID.
So true!
In the 70's, it was the fine looking ladies that I thought had my intrest. Boy,, how youth plays tricks on ones mind.
So true!!
Somebody needs wheelie bar
Oh yea!!
What is it people , can’t find the staging beams without assistance ??
That's true Alex.
i was looking forward to watching the studebaker run, what happened
Can't remember why I didn't film that car. If a car doesen't take off from the tree or if something happens to it I won't film it.
it pulled up to the line and then disappeared😁@@THROTTLEPOWER
13:16 beautiful stude 53 front and golden hawk rear
i found it, it won at 15:08 sorry!
@@pleximars Cool!!!!!
Is that "strip" a mile long???????????
No...... It's a small place Michael.
No times or speed ?
On some of the races
Nothing but 3-4 second clips, I like to see full drag racing, with e.t.'s that are readable.
👍👍
Nice top chop on the black gasser @ 00.59
I agree!!!!!
"Wally Park"?
It's Parks
Wally Parks
Yep!
BRING BACK THE NHRA HOT ROD REUNION TO NEW ENGLAND DRAGWAY YOU KNUCKLEHEADS!!! 😝
👍👍👍👍
Drag racing was better without data loggers and computer controlled cars. leave that to Pro classes and let sportsman racers race
I agree!!!!!
who??
?
Yeah but they don't even show who won or what their times were
No ton all of them Bob, just a few.
You show a AA/FA and Wally Parks name knowing NHRA banned them?!? For shame... 🙄
? ? ?
0:07 - The 1956 - The ugliest of the tri-fives.
Which one is your favorite?
253 hours an hour that will definitely get you to the dope clinic on time
At that speed, anywhere FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
