yes it was for sure!! don, smokey, grumpy, all of the old names were there and happy to talk to fans!! even in the early 1980's!! at least here in the Midwest!! we had short track (1/8th mile) and it did bring a few big name drivers!!
I don’t remember it being that great of time to grow up with the Vietnam war looking you in the face after High School. But I do enjoy this video now looking back on what I missed during those four years of my life.
You've got to love the paint jobs from that era. Back then I was building plastic models of the Blue Max, and other funny cars. God, I'm getting old. Thanks for uploading these great videos.
I had those models too. My dad would be grocery shopping, I'd be looking at the models, reading the boxes, then over to the magazine rack and page through the Hot Rod and Car Craft magazines. Really cool back then.
Loved the muscle cars of the 60s and early 70s. Raced my '68 440 Dodge Charger, my '70 Stage 1 Buick and won my class at the World Points final in "Yellow Fever" a '69 big block Corvette. Great memories. Thanks to all of those contributing early film people.
Maximum Hardcore now everyone screams racism when you school a dumbass who thinks talking fast grabbing his dick and being loud means your right. I don’t know how many times a black dude talked his way out of paying after he lost broke the rules or just backed out a race after he saw what we had. We don’t even race at our track and when we get called out by a Mexican or black we just laugh and leave. Not even worth it anymore And I’m HISPANIC!!!
Thx for those runs down memory lane! with the likes of, 'Big Daddy Don Garletis, Don 'The Snake' Prudomme, Tv Tommy Ivo and Shirley 'Cha Cha' Muldowny were always fan favorites of mine
Lawrence Mott when I went through my first divorced I lived in the Bay Area by parents live three or four miles from the Fremont drag strip those were the days goodies Speed Shop Big Daddy Don Garlits Shirley Muldowney Don the snake Prudhomme damn I'm 67 now and living in Montana divorced again where's the drag strip LOL
My memory isn't what it used to be. Who was the driver of the Mongoose ? When I was a kid, I collected tons of the original Hot Wheels and had the Snake and Mongoose. They were I think the only ones that you could lift up the body and see the motor. Sorry to ramble and reminisce....
@@hopeyoung5482 Tom Mckewen drove the Mongoose and I think I may still have those two Hot Wheels in a box someplace around here. Sadly, McKewen passed away about a year ago.
Thanks so much for this! Early 70s York US30 dragway is we’re we hailed from. How fortunate we were to live that in that time period. The strip, the street, and the music!!
When you think about these guys that ground there own cams and were experimenting with porting heads its amazing to me. You can say they made their own power.I couldnt do anything without the internet.
You old, decrepit, derelict mofos kill me. Where did the name “funny car” come from? Because the cars *looked* funny, compared to their street legal counterparts.
Thanks for the video, those days were great,brought up around this era,remember these names,went with my sister and her husband, who drove several kinds of cars, and was killed in 1978at Maple Grove,dodger Glenn, brings back memories good ones.
7:45 Al Segrini - Black Mahic 9:03 Richard Tharp 9:53 Shirl Greer - ChiTown Hustler What personalities those drivers had. I was only 12 or 13 when this was filmed, but was begging my father to tear down the swingset and build a rail out of the tubing, Told him I'd be his crew chief. He wouldn't.
Innes Muecke There's nothing like the 1970's race cars, and regardless of which motorsport.... Well, those "flying teapot cars" Formula One had back then were an exception, but still! Nothing compares to vintage stock cars and vintage drag racing.
I snuck into the winter nationals at pomona back in 1970 when I was 15, and I had a hot young foxy chick with me. Fast forward to today and now I'm almost a geezer. Sucks!
Great racing when it was about the car,builders and driver. Now it's all about the sponsorship money. Used to hear the races all summer in Fremont,California at the raceway, You could hear the top fuel, jet and rocket cars all the way to the hills!
what a great time to be a kid in, dad owned a '67 impala SS for a long ass time lols.. and i mean long time. on my 16th b-day before he passed he gave it to me. still have it in my garage... still gotta do shit to it but yeah. rip father, never forget that birthday present...
thank you.loved watching my driver in the black magic all segrini.i crewed for him 6 months match race circut.i now work part time for the nhra safety safari.thanks all for all that you taught me.
I'm almost 50 years old and remember seeing all these cars run back in the day. Ray and the Blue Max was my favorite!! It's kind of funny how they didn't even consider aerodynamics on the body styles back then!!
Thanks for uploading this. I've only been to one drag race in my life (the 2015 Gatornationals), but wow... The 70's proved to have as exciting of dragsters to see as did the stock cars of the era.
Brings back a lot of memory's those were the days. Cool old school racing I love it. I've been looking for any video's of Doyle Patton he drove a 71 Corvette 427 550-600 HP drag car it was red white and blue called THE GENERAL in early 70's. He died in 2014. He still had the car when he died the family sold it to a friend of his that is going to restore it to period condition. It was untouched for 40 years in his garage still on the trailer. I found pictures online but can't find any vids of it from back in the good ole days.
I remember watching a lot of these on the weekends when I was a kid When ABC's Wild World of Sports was king. I also remember a lot of these same cars in my brothers "Hotrodding" magazines.
"Hot Rod" "Popular Hot Rodding" but "Car Craft" was my fav. Had a centerfold pic of the ChiTown Hustler at the lights at a night race on my wall for years growing up as a kid.
I remember most of these cars from the few issues of Drag News that came into the UK. Cars go much much faster now but somehow the 1970s Funny Cars and Top Fuel racing seemed much more exciting.
Really brings back memories I was born in 74 and was at drag races before I could talk. My dad had a 73 Triumph and raced at Atco he stopped in like 77, but I was his sidekick and LOVED going to the races. I was a daddys girl and always loved the sounds, the smells all of it. I wish I had a video of him on the track, I miss him so much he was taken way to soon. We had so many plans and I left our house at 11am and he was fine and came home at 6pm and found him on the floor I thought he fell asleep but no he had a massive heart attack at 55 years old. Worst day of my life, I'm balling my eyes out now and it happened 17 years ago...
I watched some of them race at Amarillo drag strip back n the 70s..and I have been 2 Ennis drag strip 4 the nationals. Back n the 70s they were breaking speed records and it was awesome. But know it is freaking insane, the speed and horsepower the cars put out.
Went to a drag race when I was younger and thought it was pretty cool and loud. But to be there back in this time era would've been 10X better! Thank you for uploading this! I very much wish I could go back in time and experience life in these more simple times...
Utterly fabulous motors. Most true petrolheads would give their eye-teeth to own any of these vehicles, either to play with , or just clean and dream with...
Back in the Day Watch D/Racing at Santa Pod Raceway in England in 1972. and Still Watching in 2019. Got 2 Be There it 2C But in UK We Still Do 1/4 mile
How kool. I spent a lot of years watching and grudge racing at Great Lakes Drag a way Union Grove. When the funny cars still looked kinda like real cars. Awesome stuff, Thanks !
New York National Speedway Center Moriches. I practically live at that strip in the 60’s. Great time to be alive. Viet Nam took me away from the drags for a while but my first weekend back home in July ‘70 guess where i was
New England Dragway Is going to have an NHRA meet this year, the 1st time since the WWCS meets! Also in June, the 20th to the 23rd. Alot of these cars ran at New England as well.
0:37 Buster Couch the legend. 9:45 Raymond Beadle driving for Harry Schmidt and Pat Minick driving the Chi-Town Hustler. 5 100ths victory for the Blue Max. A classic duel.
God I MISS those days ..when a can the little guy had a chance..was car n driver well mechanics also but was way more of an even field in those days..gr8 footage ..thanks
Man the Funny cars where so much cooler back then. Back then I practically lived at Irwindale, Orange County, Lions, Pomona. I remember all these teams.
That was the time. In High School in the mid seventies, I worked at the local private airport refueling planes with 100/110 octane fuel. I bought a Willys and put ever Penney I made into it. I spent the next 4 years building engines and racing. Best time of my life.
I built over two dozen FC's and TF's in the late 60's very early 70's (scale models). When I got older with nothing to do, my buddies and I would blow 'em up w/ M80's or burn 'em. Oh well, I still have some photos of many of them.
Holy smokes! I'm a youngsta but I got mad respect for this video! Not sure how but i recognize these names and cars! Guess I love racing that much! Sox and Martin car I built as a kid. Awesome thanks!
When he teamed with Fabrage racing became "Team Brut" top notch guy, first class operation, loved his rig, coolest paint job in my opinion, until Fabrage was sold. That family loved him. He'd match race at my local track, 'Smokin' US 30 Dragstrip, where the great ones run!'
I love how diverse things were back then. "Oh a jet car vs an altered funny car? sure why not" All the cars look too generic now and it's sad. Yes they are faster but they lack the charm. It seemed the cars themselves had personalities in this era too.
You just gotta love a car when its named "The Shy Town Hustler" , great video of just how hard these guys had to work just to get it across the line. and how about that strong representation from the Pinto stables. anouncing for drag racing has clearly improved now that its mostly former racers.
I'll bet those short wheel based Pintos were hard to drive, they look like they're all over the track. Thanks for posting, lot of great personalities I haven't heard in a while.
Im glad growing up in this generation . i got to meet the great racers- Don Garlits- Shirley Muldowney -Reher Morrison - Ronny Sox those were real racers with little safety devices. Great memories
really good to see the old big names and cars again! thanks for keeping the video up! i hoped to see flaming burnouts in the show. front engine rails were outdamstanding until big daddy lost his belongings...
Takes me back, with a tear in my eye. Truly the best of times in drag racing.
What a fantastic time to grow up!
Melody Hintergardt yes it was
yes agree
yes it was for sure!! don, smokey, grumpy, all of the old names were there and happy to talk to fans!! even in the early 1980's!! at least here in the Midwest!!
we had short track (1/8th mile) and it did bring a few big name drivers!!
Melody Hintergardt sub to my channel to get your weekly video🚙🚙
I don’t remember it being that great of time to grow up with the Vietnam war looking you in the face after High School. But I do enjoy this video now looking back on what I missed during those four years of my life.
The most exciting time in drag racing history IMO
"I'm Batman" Going slower is more exciting??
Wow seeing Ray Beatle and the Blue Max brought back a ton of memories as a kid!!
Raymond Beadle was my favorite too. The Blue Max was such a cool name. What a sportsman, showman, great personality for the sport!
You've got to love the paint jobs from that era. Back then I was building plastic models of the Blue Max, and other funny cars. God, I'm getting old. Thanks for uploading these great videos.
I had those models too. My dad would be grocery shopping, I'd be looking at the models, reading the boxes, then over to the magazine rack and page through the Hot Rod and Car Craft magazines. Really cool back then.
@@happydays8171 And if you were lucky there would be a few shots of Jungle Pam in that Car Craft. ;+)
Loved the muscle cars of the 60s and early 70s. Raced my '68 440 Dodge Charger, my '70 Stage 1 Buick and won my class at the World Points final in "Yellow Fever" a '69 big block Corvette. Great memories. Thanks to all of those contributing early film people.
Racing was way cooler then, than it is now.
Ashroyer86 mechanical, do it yourself, learn from your mistakes versus, all electronic
What makes you say this?
Absolutely- back when America wasn’t a bunch of pusses
Maximum Hardcore now everyone screams racism when you school a dumbass who thinks talking fast grabbing his dick and being loud means your right. I don’t know how many times a black dude talked his way out of paying after he lost broke the rules or just backed out a race after he saw what we had. We don’t even race at our track and when we get called out by a Mexican or black we just laugh and leave. Not even worth it anymore
And I’m HISPANIC!!!
What are you talking about? We live in an era where you can buy a car that does 10 sec in the 1/4 mile. Electronics; sure. But it'll still kick ass.
Ahh I am so happy to have come of age during this era.
Thx for those runs down memory lane! with the likes of, 'Big Daddy Don Garletis, Don 'The Snake' Prudomme, Tv Tommy Ivo and Shirley 'Cha Cha' Muldowny were always fan favorites of mine

@@hopeyoung5482 Tom Mckewen drove the Mongoose and I think I may still have those two Hot Wheels in a box someplace around here. Sadly, McKewen passed away about a year ago.
@@Zoetropeification I used to have them back when they came out. Always wanted Mongoose to win.
Thanks so much for this! Early 70s York US30 dragway is we’re we hailed from. How fortunate we were to live that in that time period. The strip, the street, and the music!!
" WHEN MEN WERE MEN and CHROME WAS THICK"
When you think about these guys that ground there own cams and were experimenting with porting heads its amazing to me. You can say they made their own power.I couldnt do anything without the internet.
drag racing back then is better than today funny cars looked like heavily modified street cars. it was fun back then
You old, decrepit, derelict mofos kill me.
Where did the name “funny car” come from?
Because the cars *looked* funny, compared to their street legal counterparts.
Hey bro nice picture 👍
I'm in love with this era of Drag Racing. It was great! Thumbs way up for this video!
Thanks for the video, those days were great,brought up around this era,remember these names,went with my sister and her husband, who drove several kinds of cars, and was killed in 1978at Maple Grove,dodger Glenn, brings back memories good ones.
I love the snap, crackle, pop of these old school engines.
I loved the 1970's. This is awesome. Thank you. ROCK ON!!!!!
7:45 Al Segrini - Black Mahic
9:03 Richard Tharp
9:53 Shirl Greer - ChiTown Hustler
What personalities those drivers had. I was only 12 or 13 when this was filmed, but was begging my father to tear down the swingset and build a rail out of the tubing, Told him I'd be his crew chief. He wouldn't.
All the delicious engine roars - gives me chills like nothing else could!!
Thanx a bunch for posting this!!!
Great memories...
70's funny cars, sooo good!
Innes Muecke There's nothing like the 1970's race cars, and regardless of which motorsport.... Well, those "flying teapot cars" Formula One had back then were an exception, but still! Nothing compares to vintage stock cars and vintage drag racing.
Thanks for sharing man!
A part of my mind has been rejuvenated! Great to see footage of all those awesome cars! Those were the days!
I snuck into the winter nationals at pomona back in 1970 when I was 15, and I had a hot young foxy chick with me. Fast forward to today and now I'm almost a geezer. Sucks!
its crazy how fast time seems to go after the fact.
Back in the day I did not know many girls who were not into cars. Cars not Guns were your manhood.
RICK RICHARDS welcome to the club !!
that's why they make viagra you know =)
I Agree with that ! I'm one too ! Time. flies !
Great racing when it was about the car,builders and driver. Now it's all about the sponsorship money. Used to hear the races all summer in Fremont,California at the raceway, You could hear the top fuel, jet and rocket cars all the way to the hills!
No shit, how you supposed to fund a top fuel dragster? With the money you earn working on McDonald's?
Love to see those old cars again! Thank you for putting this up! :)
If this ole world is here for another hundred years, I wander how they’ll look back at this time. I’m just glad that I got to live thru the 60’s, 70’s
Epic! wonderful! outstanding!! thank You for the ride!
still awesome today since i was a kid!!
what a great time to be a kid in, dad owned a '67 impala SS for a long ass time lols.. and i mean long time.
on my 16th b-day before he passed he gave it to me. still have it in my garage... still gotta do shit to it but yeah.

I'm almost 50 years old and remember seeing all these cars run back in the day.
Ray and the Blue Max was my favorite!!
It's kind of funny how they didn't even consider aerodynamics on the body styles back then!!
Connie Kalitta! Wow-
Econoline van vs Dodge Dart!!! GREAT wheeelies!!! WOW!!!
And that was some sharp-looking Vega!!!
How cool to see those beautiful old bodies duking it out! That's for posting this lost gem of American iron.
Thanks for uploading this. I've only been to one drag race in my life (the 2015 Gatornationals), but wow... The 70's proved to have as exciting of dragsters to see as did the stock cars of the era.

Love this, I remember the LA Dart at Budds Creek when I was like 10 years old. 55 now

I watch Santa Pod races here in the US on MavTV network. Got some nice cars running there.
Awsome to see cars that looked like the real street cars!!! And not just a fiberglass body.
"may go all the way to Milwaukee on the rear wheels"
LMFAO!!
Wow! Does that brings back the memories. I grew up in Union Grove and spent many weekends at Great Lakes Dragaway. I saw all those cars in person.
Races was televised on the weekends remember as a kid tuning in. We also had a local track international drag way.
How kool. I spent a lot of years watching and grudge racing at Great Lakes Drag a way Union Grove. When the funny cars still looked kinda like real cars. Awesome stuff, Thanks !
Those wheely cars are so badass!!
This is one great video. Geeeez I hope they never take this clip down....
I could watch videos like this for days! Nice work!!

GREAT MEMORIES.....SUPER VIDEO !
Feel sorry for the future generations with their silent, maintenance-free electric cars... yawn.
no, I don't give a shit how fast they go.
Dude I have 74 camaro, fuck that stupid Mazda shit
I feel the same way, I own a 63 impala with a 400 small block fuck electric
Zakk Gardner lmfao are you me.
Tired of hearing about Tesla’s
Angus owens a 63 impala...... I sure hope you didn’t put them stupid ass hydraulics in it
Derpy Derp sure as hell didn't I'm too white of a guy, man
Man the Funny cars where so much cooler back then. Back then I practically lived at Irwindale, Orange County, Lions, Pomona. I remember all these teams.
That was the time. In High School in the mid seventies, I worked at the local private airport refueling planes with 100/110 octane fuel. I bought a Willys and put ever Penney I made into it. I spent the next 4 years building engines and racing. Best time of my life.
Gotta love the 70's
see the size of that low hanging oil pan on the Road Runner right at the start WoW . ..
+shawn harold fox firth
That was a 6 quart oil pan. A buddy of mine had one on a '68 Dodge Charger with a 383 in it.
What I remember first in life of drag racing..great times
I remember in the seventies, building the Blue Max model. ...memories!
I built over two dozen FC's and TF's in the late 60's very early 70's (scale models). When I got older with nothing to do, my buddies and I would blow 'em up w/ M80's or burn 'em. Oh well, I still have some photos of many of them.
2:50 I love the awesome wheelie's !!!!
This is AMAZING.
Thank you for posting this!
Holy smokes! I'm a youngsta but I got mad respect for this video! Not sure how but i recognize these names and cars! Guess I love racing that much! Sox and Martin car I built as a kid. Awesome thanks!
Segrini's Black Magic was one of the prettiest cars at that time....always immaculate
When he teamed with Fabrage racing became "Team Brut" top notch guy, first class operation, loved his rig, coolest paint job in my opinion, until Fabrage was sold. That family loved him. He'd match race at my local track, 'Smokin' US 30 Dragstrip, where the great ones run!'
AH PURE AMERICANA! I remember seeing all these great legends.
Oh yeah! Great video thanks for taking me back to my youth.
my dad used to rece back in the 70s and 80s. he drove a sexy ass pro street 67 camaro. he has a picture hanging in the garage of him doing a burnout
I'm almost 53 and I remember those days watching my dad race his 69' Nova
😀when the cars still look REAL.
I love how diverse things were back then. "Oh a jet car vs an altered funny car? sure why not" All the cars look too generic now and it's sad. Yes they are faster but they lack the charm. It seemed the cars themselves had personalities in this era too.
Awesome footage!
Omg this is amazing , absolutely amazing
i love it allso
Love Pro Stock and Super Stock . 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
These days are gone forever.
Great video.
You just gotta love a car when its named "The Shy Town Hustler" , great video of just how hard these guys had to work just to get it across the line. and how about that strong representation from the Pinto stables. anouncing for drag racing has clearly improved now that its mostly former racers.
It was Shirl Greer's "ChiTown Hustler" out of Chicago...
Love this stuff, great to see it! Thanks for posting this!
Love those wheelstanders!
I'll bet those short wheel based Pintos were hard to drive, they look like they're all over the track. Thanks for posting, lot of great personalities I haven't heard in a while.
Why are there thumbs down? What's not to like?
Kyle Wirth - probably thumbs down for the lack of turbo'd Civics...
Civic owners realizing their asses would get kicked by cars from 50 years ago.
Those are people in mental institutions, they have WiFi now in the middle room, a friend told me.
Back when America was strong.. Drag racing was cool and there was still some innocence left.
Nice to see my local track out of Union Grove Wi. Great Lakes Dragaway!! WAHOO!
Im glad growing up in this generation . i got to meet the great racers- Don Garlits- Shirley Muldowney -Reher Morrison - Ronny Sox those were real racers with little safety devices. Great memories
Really captivating 🤩
Those were awesome
Back when Funny Cars actually looked like the street version.
Front engine dragsters. Scary.
really good to see the old big names and cars again! thanks for keeping the video up! i hoped to see flaming burnouts in the show. front engine rails were outdamstanding until big daddy lost his belongings...
Seen at 7:10 to 7:12, 7:24 to 7:26, and 7:33 to 7:34 is Rosie Everett, Shirl Greer's chief mechanic. I wonder where she is now.
