[herbiesnerd]

That is one bad-ass motherfucker!

[POPPINNADES1]

That thing could beat a ricer in reverse

[554687858]

That made my wiennie hard.

[zeppelin67637]

I think I had that car in my matchbox collection!

[weedawsonlane]

@zeppelin67637 Yeah quite possible, they liked the car so much they asked the owners to make a matchbox out of it, ive seen a couple of them

[danf321]

Kick Ass Car! These Willy's, along with Bantam roadsters, Anglia's, etc. are some of the best icons of drag racing. AA/F Funny cars are great, but sometimes they're too high-tech. As someone said, grass roots drag racing, and at it's best.

[554687858]

@danf321 Absolutely! The gassers and altereds made drag racing. I'd do anything to turn back the clock and show people how drags used to be run - no 'brackets', no computer setups, no teams with their trailer full of spare engines, clutches, etc., etc. And most of all, 1320 feet.

[ballerkidmatt]

The body of that car was originally Mel Bryson's of Bryson&sons

[HamboneV1]

nice

[momandjenn]

awesome car:)

[FierySora1]

See, big spoilers are for cars that NEED it to keep it on the ground, not for your stupid honda that has no downforce at all.

[nashvilleraidersfan]

that is one ghetto track

[MrBeresford]

@nashvilleraidersfan

It's a fulltime airport that is turnded into a 1/4 mile race track once a year in August for the weekend. It has to be set up and broken down so the airport is functional that Sunday evening. It may look "ghetto" but it is great racing and the guys who turn out are awesome showmen. We have exhibition racers, doorslammers, right down to street class. 5-10,000 spectators enjoy it each and everytime it is held.

[554687858]

@MrBeresford There's nothing 'getto' about it. This is the roots of Drag racing. I remember going to Half Moon Bay drag strip (airport) and watching Stone, Woods & Cook's '41 willeys when they were running A gas (I think). And Garlits going 200 in his 'swamp rat' while sitting behind the engine and over the third member. The Melrose missle, A '63 Plymonth with a 413 and ram induction - the original FX class. Cost a buck to get in. There were no pit passes. Once you were in, go anywhere.

[tfxbillet]

@nashvilleraidersfan ghetto? man this is classic grass roots style drag racing! old airstrips turned into dragstrips, it's sad to see a lot of them go away.

[TWqme]

[fjbutch]

[tommyboy1ism]

[Jcashrulez]

i dont belive you even no what a rad is, please dont comment on car videos ever agien.

[554687858]

@Draxindustries1 You're to fuckin' stupid to understand. Laugh all you want. When you grow up you'll know better - maybe. Right now, we're all laughing at you. By the way genius, shit isn't spelled with an 'e'.

[bigguy4570]

What is the Horse power on that 33 willies?

[runner4life1984]

2000+hp

[dieseltechy360]

I cant stand up straight right now!!!!!

[novadose88]

Gotta love the no smoking sign yet theres a TRAILER just in front of the starting line on one side and they used LOGS on the other side as guard rails???!!! Whos fucking bright ideas are those. Must be a "special track" where the only thing you'll die from is lung cancer and not out of control cars,PONDEROUS MAN PONDEROUS!?

[RosenG1982]

if you cared about smoking and non smoking.. you would not be at a track to begin with...

[TEX20086]

agreed

[quickdeuce]

Ohh yeah !!! Ya just gotta go see these monster Gasser's in person (if they come to your area) to really get the rush - but since they don't get to run at many events, these YouTube videos get many of us as close as we'll get in the off season. Kudo's MrBeresford, for sharing them and to YouTube for giving us this freebie to see these videos. Two Thumbs UP !

[jesusraybrown]

I have an erection.

[wildchildwillys]

U have one Wicked Willys!!!

[tooner123456789]

do you think the supercharger is big enough?

[psychodelicdragon]

makes my heart flutter!!!

[Zeriouslly]

I wasn't really commenting on this particular car. I just think that it would be great to see a customizer completely replace the headlights and remodel the grille on one of these cars. The lines of '33 Willys are really beautiful but I feel the grille and headights are a terrible design fault.

[dreamweaver1954]

VERY NICE Willys and the '55, too. Awesome cars.

[Zeriouslly]

Man I love those 33 Willys... but when the hell is some customiser gonna get rid of those stupid headlights and that ugly grill??

Shave the housings off the guards and either french 'em into the guards lower down the front or get some little chrome tractor lights and stick them on. And do something with the grill. Heck anything would look better than that... They remind me of 50's Citroens (french car - ugly as sin...)

[MrBeresford]

Hello everyone, for the 2008 Port Alberni Thunder in the Valley event they will feature that same Pro-Mod 55 Chevy (Duane Grosart)as this year's featured theme car for t-shirts and all advertising. Posters, rack cards etc. Look forward to seeing you all there this Aug 9-10 2008

[chrissept21]

[gregle4619]

Thats not a real "gasser" is tubbed and there is no straight axle in the front. Still a bad ass car though.
