  1. Do you possibly have any pictures or footage of the Oldsmorat (69-70 Cutlass) or the Oldsmorat 2 (79 Starfire) driver & owned by Jim Clark? He's my uncle & I grew up being on his pit crew.

  2. Do you have any footage of my father, Terry Hedrick in Seaton's Super Shaker, later he became the owner and it was the Super Shaker….corvair, Nova and Camaro….thx

  3. the video to choose is boostfilms sfl -bizspeed- street legends- king of the streets 8/10/2012. the video to choose is the one with the yellow import car . I think it's listed first. Thanks again! Love those Pintos! That's why I race one!

  4. Love it! Thanks for posting! Check out my 1971 Tube Chassis 355 CI Small Block Chevy Powered Foot Brake Pinto at a test and tune at my local track . The Boostfilms guys did a great job putting it on one of their youtube videos. Type in a youtube search of "bizspeed 8/10/2012". click on the one titled "street legends". My car is at about the 1:14 mark. Thanks again for the excellent video! …. Please post some 70's pro stock or sportsman Pintos if you got 'em.

  5. I remember seeing Ivo's 4 engined stationwagon/dragster on his farewell tour. I believe he had Segrini driving it cause he'd injured his back. They had to pushstart it like in the old days and we still had our old pushstart lane that came out of the pits 1/2 way down the track. It was at New England Dragway. I worked the Winston World Championship Series meet all 4 yrs of HS. The names that ran there in those years. Ronnie Manchester, Grumpy Jenkins, Beadle, Burgin, Shirley, Garlits, Lindamood..

  6. great video. i've just had some old super 8 film put on dvd and have got two videos on youtube. one from the dixie nationals and one from roxboro, both from the late 70s. i have some from bristol and also the u.s. nats from the same time. trying to get them on soon.

  7. @351Greg Yes I have a really nice photo of that Fairlane coming off the line against Dennis White's "Renegade" 65 Mustang! Send me a message with your e-mail address and I'll send you a copy. Thanks for watching!

  9. Holy Crap!! In the second video, that's me driving my Dad's 1970 Barracuda back 1985. I was 15 years old at the time. We still have the car in the barn.

  10. Awesome video. I grew up at US 131 Dragway and remember all of the Popular Hot Rod meets. Tom Trisch's AA/Altered 23T and Danny Townsend's A/Altered Bantam were two of the baddest Comp cars on the planet. I know Danny was seriously injured a couple years ago in an Alcohol Funny Car crash but I don't know how he's doing now. Hopefully he's doing well. Brings back a million memories!
