Cheers Tom 😁 We are very lucky, there are three of those Treasure Racing Altereds - Cleveland express (Ford Powered), LS Express (GM Powered) and the big gun HEMI Express which is obviously a blown Hemi 😁 Awesome to know our content is making it all the way over to the UK, that is seriously cool!!
@@BecauseRacecarOfficial I bet they’re a fantastic sight (and smell) to witness. We’ve got some damn cool cars over here but always nice to watch something new. I’ll be ploughing my way through the season in no time. Really appreciate the content, best of luck with the channel 👍
@@BecauseRacecarOfficial I’ve also had to look up some of the unfamiliar race cars. I used to be a big V8’s fan when we could get it here in the States, so I kinda’ knew what to search for. Turning old-school Torana’s into blown drag cars…. They must have to carry their balls around in a wheelbarrow.
@@cl604driver haha yeah any of these cars they are a handful, I don’t think people realize how much they have to drive them until you see them from behind.. It’s not just going in a straight line like some people seem to think 😂
Nice to see some folks still know how to do a decent burnout (then again, I was spoiled growing up in the So Cal drag racing scene during the 60's and early 70's. Loved Irwindale, Lions, OCIR, Pomona, OMS, and Bakersfield). Thanks for the well crafted video ✌😎
haha wait until you see the videos from the weekend just gone, some of the boys must have been having a competition on who could powerskid the longest as I swear some ran it out to 1000ft 😂 Videos should be up in the next couple of weeks 👌🏼😁😉
I was lucky enough to see funny car races in the mid seventies with my dad at Orange County raceway, Dom prisoner, , mongoose, blue max, etc, 32 funny cars at night, and 64 funny cars at night at Seattle! Priceless!
A very different perspective, something that we don't have here in the states. Impeccable camera work from all angles, from behind the water box and crew to mid track position. Excellent, Excellent, Excellent
Cheers Aleister that means a huge amount mate!! The next video of the Blown Cars should be even better as I took some advice from the comments and started moving around the track a lot more so even more angles! Keep an eye on the channel, that one should be up over the next couple of weeks 👌🏼😁
Cheers Gary! Always a fine balance that’s for sure… Do our best to maximize the audio from the cars where we can and use a bit of music to fill any ambience or silence! Appreciate the feedback mate 🙏🏼🤙🏼
When I seen the fuel altered coming up, brought back memories here in Alaska, google, the Alaskan grizzly fuel altered! I was lucky to see it many times, and match race against Ron Fassel in his Pepsi altered and Ricky Ruiz in the Nevada rattler here in Alaska! Priceless!
Good work mate , not many ppl cover the drags in perth , I have one suggestion, could you have a second person filming from the stands? It's great to see a car fire up and move towards the burnout and stage but could we have some side on or front on racing
Cheers mate! I definitely wouldn’t say no that’s for sure if someone was keen haha.. I’ve always wanted to have a second camera filming from the deep end but it’s just a matter of gearing up and finding someone keen to hang out there for the day! 😁🤞🏼
@@BecauseRacecarOfficial do you have another camcorder? Haha. I'm in perth love the drags since I was a boy. Ravenswood raceway was the highlight of my childhood! Big fan of Ian Brown and John Napier! Looking forward to the top fuel coming this year too!
@@brattfutz6074 At the moment we’ve only got the one camera rig, when the budget allows we’d definitely be keen to get an identical setup.. And Top Fuel for the finale is going to be bloody epic!! 😍
Nice work as usual. Would love to find out what camera you're using. It seems like it is autofocusing and it does it really well. If it's manual focus you're a wizard ! Your depth of field is always awesome.
haha definitely autofocus.. I can’t zoom manually and focus at the same time, zooming is a task in itself and it’s very sensitive as you can probably tell sometimes when I’m trying to get everything framed just right, or keep up with everything as it goes down the track! I might do a video on my setup if there’s enough interest.. it’s nothing overly fancy but it is enough of a step up from using the phone in the early days!
I love those Australian bodies. Especially those Opels? They look like Opels anyway. Three of them, white, yellow, and a black one. But what is the orange car that looks like a cross between a Chevy Vega an a Chevy Citation?
They're actually called a Torana built by Holden (Australia's division of General Motors). They were built in the '70's and they are similar in size to Vegas and Monzas.
@@myretirementlife8731 I'm guessing you're in the US or Canada? There was a guy on Ebay in Kansas that had 3D printed bodies of the gen 2 Torana. Didn't show what year he was selling this but it had ended. His ebay name was topgaskz. Might be worth trying to get in contact with him. In Australia models are generally 1:18 or 1:43 scale. Good luck.
@@troyottosen8722 yep the boys are already eyeing that off.. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get there this year but hopefully next year I’ll be able to join them for either Drag Week or SCSN 🤙🏼
@@BecauseRacecarOfficial So Great to hear!!! You all in Australia, New Zealand are so welcomed, respected here! Simple! I know the cost is a big factor! Love to see you race here! Simple!👍
Bloody hell could have went a totally different direction had they tangled up .love to know what he was thinking when the Mustang came up the inside way out of his lane ..
Yeah definitely could have gotten ugly that’s for sure mate! I don’t think much phases Stu, the trackside interview on the return road was quite amusing - he’s a pretty funny guy 😁👌🏼
Man,I wish I could afford a trip down under from the UK, you have some awesome cars in what we call Pro-mods,but I think you call pro-slammer. But door cars anyway.
Yeah we have pro mods also (mainly in the Eastern States) but they usually run a radial tyre! Our blown cars (Top Doorslammer/Supercharged Outlaws) here all run Slicks 😁 You should definitely come down here for a trip 😉👌🏼
It definitely levels the playing field, the guys who have the most range in their tuning abilities to cater to each level of track and weather are king 👌🏼👌🏼
@@cl604driver yeah these guys are mental haha.. I don’t think people realize how much they actually “drive” the car until you see the passes from behind!

Thanks John that means a lot mate! Was an awesome round of racing that’s for sure!! 👌🏼😁

Sorry the orange is also a Torana and is the 2nd generation, they are a little bigger than the 1st generation.

Shame when the track can't handle the horsepower.

Yep, but it is good to see some of the drivers that got loose just pedal it n keep going rather than just giving up on the run.
