Priceless...absolutely priceless. The 'gas' mask, the reflective safety goggles as well as the fireproof face shielding, takes me right back to the period when Gassers were a regular sight on the drag strips. When you add in the blower whine, the grunt of the engine and the excitement of the passenger, well who could ask for anything more? Excellent perspective!!
That's awesome!!...:):)....nothing beats the sight and sound of these wicked old school gassers.......and I think the passenger enjoyed it too!!!......well done....
At 29seconds, he's drifting toward the wall,, if you've ever watched Steve Cook you know he hated to lift,, it's just not Steve's style to lift BUT he hadda save his beauty (BlewByYou) so he lifted. This guy, Steve Cook and his magnificent stallion race car "Blew By You" were IMHO the epitime (sp) of what drag racing was intended to be way back when the early day drag racers started the sport. Steve's fan base is HUGE!
The 60's and early 70's were exciting times and the gassers were a huge part of the excitement. I love this car and what it represents. Great video Steve.
Blower whine, whoomp of that cam, and an ear to ear smile on her face the whole time.. loved it!! Shared the vid with my girl too! Such a wicked cool ride in a perfectly brutal machine.. and I hope shes still his b.u.g! Thanks for the video :) I know there is another one with a passenger seat view.. I've seen it but, I can't find it now :( Wish youguys made it out west. There's nothing like these awesome gassers!! Thanks again!
Gotta add my 2 cents! I used 2 run street 1, 2 , stock, stock eliminator in F & J body Mopar's. But Mr. Crook's Chevy is it! Love Gassers & Alterds (M/P). U guy are crazy 😮😆👍👍. 2 the gas class, U guys & gals are the 💣. The best of the very best!
I ran a C/A 66 Nova called The Lil General late 60's early 70's L88 427 2 4's on a tunnel ram... ran high 9's low 10's. Sounded alot like Steve ride. Bad Ass Steve... Love it.
Lol, permagrin. A whole lotta admiration comin' out of that young lady's eyes. Great team, great times. The 56 is my favorite shoebox, not sure why I don't have one in my stable. Probably cuz I'm a cheap ass and all my projects are clapped out.
"Blew By You" is so perfectly performance and pilot balanced that I bet if you spit on it just before "take off" that it wouldn't make it across the finish line! That car is absolute PERFECTION! And whew! Steve sure knows how to cop a feel too! She's a beauty!
I have watched this video 20 times! That motor duration reminds me of A Lion Panting. could you imagine this beast going down a street, with people at the end waiting to catch a bus. this would freak people out. I Love it.
Yes sir, It sounds like a wild animal hard breathing, anxious to go in for the kill. I can't stop watching it either. Thank god I have my own hot rods to do my daily burnouts. Keeps me sane....
And I used to think as a kid that watching all the early Space flights from the Mercury and Gemini flights were the best.I think I would rather ride in this rocket
+Jim Dickson Hi Jim....It's a 377 c.i. SBC running 12.8:1 compression. 4:10 gears; the tune up on it now is around 1200hp. It's capable of more, but doesn't hurt parts with this tuneup. Thanks for watching!
Zora Arkus Duntov, in the fall of 1963, introduced the Grand Sport Corvette , to challenge the Ford Cobra, his choice of engine was the 377 cu in small block Chevy , fuel injection.
The strongest small block production engine, was the L84, in 1964 a. 327, rated @ 375 hp, fuel injection, repeated in 65, the most powerful small block ever, factory stock.

Drag Strip Riot I had a strong feeling it did, due to Steve's suit and mask. The car sounds amazing. I really wish to see it. Was kinda disappointed when last year at the New England Hot Rod Reunion, I saw a few cars such as the ScottRods Anglia, Finders Keepers, Phenomenon, and Crazy Grandpa. I kept a sharp eye out, hoping to see that '56 blow by me.
Elijah Gosselin There is only one car in the group that runs on gas, and that is Mark Benjamin's gold '33 Willys. Steve wears the full mask deal for special runs. Steve had a family function the same weekend as the NEHRR last year, or else he would have come. I was happy that some of the Ohio group were able to make the long distance trip. We all had a blast...New England style! ;-)
Drag Strip Riot It was epic to show up to the strip, and see the cars I have been watching on UA-cam. The Crazy Grandpa Corvette looked amazing! I got a few decent photos of it, and some photos of the others there too. Is it going to be a new thing for the group to NEHRR every year or so?
Elijah Gosselin It all depends on scheduling between other events. This year the NEHRR moved to the week before the US Nationals. The distance and time between those two events prevents the Ohio teams from making a return to New England this year.

They need to have ride along cars at EVERY drag racing event.
God dam that engine, on tick over keeps better time than my digital watch.
What a ride,burnout and noise.

Elena Scherr from Hot Rod Magazine.
She and Thom Taylor are, both of HOT Rod Magazine, are a couple. This was a simple filed assignment.
Adrenaline is also spelled Gasser.
Your old school nitro funny car mask is THE SHIT!!! FUCK YA!!!!
Steve does the look justice!
He stopped short! (Seinfeld)
Bad Azz !!!
Hey, he stopped short...that's my move.
I'll give ya an "up" to help offset the 18 Pree Ass owners
LOL...THANK YOU!
so the lead in run is not the ride along..
She rode twice that day. Onboard camera stopped recording after burnout on first pass.
#Unicorn !!
Don't you think the person in the passenger seat deserve the same protection the driver has?
Why does the driver have a fire mask and the girlfriend doesn't?
