Hey there is my Fathers car! 1933 Willys Del Rio & Carlson! Dad was the driver and tuner. Thanks for posting! love to see more.

[Mr1963chevy]

those austins look like they'ed be slow,because of the flat front end.like racing a brick,maybe evevn hard to drive,mite have alot of wind push

[909chuck]

I have the VHS tape and except for the less than great commentary it's a nice trip down memory (or first time) lane.  THANX!

[ahbushido]

what is a gasser?

[MagnumROCKSTAR1]

nice vid 

[samsoninthepit]

I know you said Fremont, but that sure looks like Fontana

[JCKustom]

The only problem with Gassers is, they are such a broad class of car its always hard to describe to someone what they are.

I would give everything i have to my name to be reborn in 1945, im 27 now and I hate this time, i want to be back then I dont fit in here :(

Ohio George Montgomery, Stone Wood & Cook, Big John Mazmanian, Junior Thompson, K S Pittman (formerly Pittman-Edwards) all were great AA/GS dragracers in the 60s. In one season , 6 different theories were tried.. aerodynamics (a late model mustang body) Fat fendered 33 and 40 Willys coupes, Ford Anglia (weight transference on low end) Bantam Bodied (for quick starts) etc. It was HEAVEN that summer!

FAIL! You can't "debut" a car "again".

[StingerNova]

@aaardvarkkk yes you can. 

[aknowneemus]

[502SizeMatters]

I used to watch Korney at Fontana....with the lights in his door going on while he made a pass....I also remember a VERY loud Engine Masters gasser that would come to Fontana occasionally

[margogita]

Cool video.Thanks for the informative narration!

[machone7I]

whats a gasser?

[skatepunkzero]

I think this might be the best racing video on youtube

[vmaxerrrr]

I really miss the old gassers, 9000rpm launch, 4-speed trannies, straight for the

ditch ! Off the throttle, back on, off the right side of the track ! That kind of racing put people in the stands, unlike today with the BORING et cars and their power-slide automatics

[StingerNova]

@vmaxerrrr FUCK YEA!!!

[skatepunkzero]

@vmaxerrrr I say, lets bring it back! Start a gasser only class! Just get together and race

[crownv80]

like gassers , old s/stockers , stockers ! some wicked racing !

[fjbutch]

That was a nice old clip ....brought back memories of my early days ....

[axeman7000]

[flatfender1947]

[no1saphead]

Thanks that was nice to see...

[nlafrancesca1980]

Ahhhhh....Gasser Files Volume 2! Still Watch It Till This Day! Well Before My Time But Straight Axle Cars Are Still My Favorite!

[maxwedge66]

Awesome vid, yeah straight axles are the sh*t.

[fiebre1991]

Those where the days

[GilLindsay]

I remember when the Gasser Files came out on VHS, the music goes right along with the racing to a "T".
