thanks for the video. i live up in the rust belt, so i have a yard full of "fred flintstone" stick shift vehicles i drove thru the winter. nowadays the only solid-floorpan vehicles are later models with slushboxes.
Great video. That’s my 63 1/2 at the start if I had noticed you filming I would have spoke with you. We had a clutch issue and ended the day early but great content.
@frizzellracing I really really wish there were crate engines as I would love to smack a FE in this mercury cougar I saw for sale and honestly wanna buy. Where'd you get your FE?
I love Super Stock ! I had a super sweet 68 GTO I raced for years and a 66 that I also raced and was able to drive on the street from time to time. Both cars would run mid to upper 11's all day. Although about eight years back I had to part with both to help with unexpected medical issues. Happy to say I've pulled through and doing a lot better now. I have a 67 LeMans that I've been dragging around for the past twenty-three years and decided its time to build another street & strip super stocker. Luckily over the years I've accumulated lots of new and used parts it shouldn't take long to get her running. Can't wait to slide behind the wheel and fire the ol' girl up.... God Bless America!
Where I got old enough to run my Triumph "Daytona" there was a guy with a factory light-weight Ford; the claim was he was a bookie; didn't care and still don't. Good driver.
Don’t underestimate how much some of these drivers and teams spend on these “super stock” cars. It’s not millions but the top Camaro for example is built and paid for to dominate.
There is something human about older non computer controlled and designed cars. They still are the best looking and you can actually tell the difference between them.
Nothing like the superstock and old modified production manual trans cars. That is real racing. Not in love with some of the things they now allow though in the tranny area and the non factory hood scoops
Is that a hemi cuda? If it is it must be down a couple cylinders. We had a couple of those around in the early 70's and they would carry the tires through two gears and were in the 10's even back then
😊It’s nice to see these older style cars out there banging some gears BUT these are not super stock cars with these skinny bicycle tires in the back along with the J.C Whitney stick on hood scoops. Granted this is just qualifying so it’s heads up racing but why no ET’s posted? This just looks like bracket cars mislabeled as Super stock cars.
@@davidkeeton6716 I think it would make more sense to have an exemption for the '68 Camaro and make the same exemption for any other car of which the '68 model year that has the same body & chassis as the '67 model year. But that's just me.
@@AutoMotoCha9L at the time I lived in SeaTac Airport area. 1980's sometime. Bigwheel Auto Parts on Highway 99. Marty was the machinist. I was in the front parking lot. Someone needed money and was selling his 80 Ford Ranger. Had a 302 conversion. I bought the truck for $1,400 bucks. Marty suggested I bring it to SIR. He said he'd be racing the same day in his late model Chevy with a 468. Before going to SIR, I went over the truck. Checked, tightening what needed. Waiting in line that morning took more than two hours. Lots of cars showed up. At the Christmas tree. I gave it gas and the truck started cutting out. I'm like what the f!ck. I just drove the truck for two weeks. Nothing acting up. Drove it to the track. Nothing acting up. So I get it. Sometimes you have to work out the bugs at the track. In the pits I look the truck over. Secure any loose wire. Checked fuel pressure. Get back in line wait 3 hours this time. I was next to make a run. They shut our line for the rest of the day. So the other classes took over. No more street cars. My friend Marty, he only got to make one run too. Later that week I asked Marty at Bigwheel if it's always like that at SIR. He made some kind of excuse that didn't make me happy. I even loaned out some tools that day at SIR and the f!cker never brought them back. I moved out of that liberal sick azz state ten years ago. A lawyer in San Diego , who collects and sells Mustangs, not an expert by any means, had a 67 forsale. I drove way down their with wife and daughter. I couldn't believe my eyes. A 64 top oiler fully race prepped in a 67 fastback. Tubed roll cage. The works. Been sitting. The carbs were leaking gas. I said don't worry about it. I told him I'm taking the engine apart and inspect it. The engine is more than I expected. But the lawyer didn't tell me it keeps breaking rocker arms. Well the garbage man saw the car in the garage, and told me he runs the tree at our local track and invited me to go. If I can work out the bugs before I go, I'll think about it. The ladder bar broke on the drivers side twice when I hammered on the throttle. Someone before me switched out the 427 crank for a 428. Can't get a good launch without worrying something going to break. I'd rather switch back to a 427 crank. I've just rebuilt a 390, going to put it in and not worry about breaking anything. Good car for a beer run. Street legal.
Tim...don't know where your from ? Here in mn. We had 2 drag strips...in the day....no modern stuff needed my friend...BBC SBC owned the tracks for the most. With after market parts....they still kicked ass...you might not have been around yet.....maybe dreaming.
@@robertbloomquist7354 bahahahahaha We didn't have any tracks in my area , we street raced. Fastest mid size car was a ford cobra and fastest pony car was a 71 340 swinger Lots of chevelles and camaros went home with their tails between their legs after facing off either of those
@@timmebruer5205 , Hey Tim , I was reading your comment at 1:36 of this video when that red Camaro blew the doors off that Rustang Junk , The definition of Camaro ? Faster than Mustang But I got a little small block 327 in a 66 Chevelle SS that does 5.5 sec in the 1/8 mile , M-21 Muncie and 12 bolt posi I would put it up against ANYTHING you got !
They will.... no doubt about it. Just like they will prohibit classic cars on the streets. Its that sick green agenda. As they say "these cars belong in museums".
Unfortunately there aren’t enough cars to divide up into the super stock classes while following all the rules rules back then (or even by todays super stock rules). So some cars are just going to walk away with the wins each time after the $$$$$ are spent.
These clowny line people are so embarrassing. You really can't stage a stock car without help or need some fool to tell you to release the brakes out of the burnout box? Are you the driver or not?
Great video, great content. Today's Stock & Super Stock classes are where you go to see the old nostalgia stuff. Reminds me of the first race I attended in So Cal, at Irwindale Raceway in 1964 when I was 6 years old. Been racing since I was licensed in 74'. What I don't get about this racing, is....for what purpose is the No Time displayed?? Please enlighten me....thanks!! ✌😎
Today’s super stock and stock eliminator has a lot of classic cars but also everything up into modern cars as well. You might see a Dodge Coronet racing a brand new Camaro. Those eliminator classes are broken up into many sub classes to try and level the playing field. Also I think SEGAA does not show the time because in 1967 they didn’t show the time at the finish line. I could be wrong on that one. But I’m pretty sure that’s the reason.
I love manual transmissions I learned to drive in an old international pickup with a three on the tree
Excellent video today AMC9L.......ya gotta love it.....rippin' them gears!!! Looked like a great crowd there....
I agree!!
I was there,outstanding division,lots of great folks right there,.thanks for your support
Can't wait till next event!
Thanks for the video AMC9L, brings back many fond memories of the 60s'. 💥👍
Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

Great to see you at a SEGA race. Thanks for the video.
One of the best yet mate, wonderful, 10/10 as usual , UK
Thanks👍
Best drag racing there is period. Old school drag racing , no trans breaks no fancy shit just banging gears
👍🇺🇸 Thanks for another great video
Thanks for watching!
I love these old superstock style builds!

LOVE SUPER STOCK FROM ENGLAND
Can we talk about how cool the thunderbolt hood is??? It looks perfect on that ratty mustang too
Doesn’t get much cooler than that.!
That's one bad ass Pontiac wagon 🇺🇸 🤘
Great vid, really enjoyed!!!! 👍 🏁
Thanks👍
This is how it should be ..not millions spent on a car ..great stuff ..
Don’t underestimate how much some of these drivers and teams spend on these “super stock” cars. It’s not millions but the top Camaro for example is built and paid for to dominate.
FANTASTIC
👍
With good gas, alot of those old cars are scary fast....with Pure unadulterated torque!

?wouldn't it be just a little more fun at 1000 ft. instead of the 1/8, tha's jus me.
Cool 👍💯%
Old Chevy's whopping up on Ford's all day. 😎
I like Fords, chevys and mopars but yeah... the chevys were having a run that day.👍😃
What is Super Stock?
What is the first car in the video
nice Ford Thunderbolt (replica??)...
If its 67 older why are there 68 Camaros racing ?
Payola
They are 67s or at least have 67 doors, grille and taillights. That's as per the rule book.
Where do see a 68?

I'd love to know the specs of the motor in the 63 1/2 at the beginning of the video.
That’s my car. The clutch pressure plate broke in the the line and ended my day early. It is a FE engine that by the math is a 436 cubic inch engine
@@frizzellracing What is the compression in it?

Not a good day for Fords! The only way they could win is by racing another Ford, lol!
Wtf is this? Filmer must be a chevy guy and only saved the chevy wins and deleted all the ford wins
