cont.- around Flint back in the 60's. It's a Flint thing that's gone on forever. BTW to any nay sayers on the v-6s beating v-8's well, let me say, some of those Regals were of the experimental type and upwards of 400 hp or more. They were fast and those engineers knew how to drive them. I live in Kalamazoo now and miss the "street scene". Kalamazoo has very little activity compared to Flint. I try to get back to Flint every now and then like during "Back to the Bricks" to cruise my ol haunts.
Kinda fun to watch this. I was there way back in the late 70's early 80's when that was known as St Johns Blvd and we were racing there then. The Buick factory back door was just down the road and sometimes the engineers would sneak out their new at that time Turbo Regals for some street testing and come stomp on a few old school big blocks. We would be amazed at those little turbo v-6's. To anyone watching, it was at least as big then as it is in this vid and my dad did a lot of street racing
I hate that we cant go down there and have fun anymore. Blacks, whites and hispanics all got along and all had a passion for cars and drag racing. Now all they do is fight and shoot and the cops shuts it down every 30 mins. So fuckn sad. Hopefully j. Cole comes back!!!
@teqnyck theres a few but mostly muscle cars for the most part, there are a very few imports that even come close to the muscle cars, but all the little punks in momma and daddies car are starting to ruin it big time, smashing beer bottles shooting off guns and being just plain fucken retarded
@jeffb8074 Oh that sucks dude. It's the same here in Portland, or at least it was 5-6 years ago before the car scene died off. I'm moving to Flint in a year and I've only seen a few import race videos, most all videos are carb'd muscle, and a few EFI muscle. I was hoping to surprise a few locals, but IDK if low 12s are gonna cut it with all the big HP cars where you are >.<
@teqnyck i garantee u will get more races in a 12 second car then i can with my high 10 second car, theres more of them in that field theres some guys that just bullshit around but others that love to race and will race anyone :)
Yea look at us chevy boyz on here. we jus doin ur thing lol. nice video man and thank you for not havin one of those bad cam that can't see in the dark well lol. so good cam and good vid thanks.
great spot to go racing but the amount of spectators is outa control. gotta a lot of bad attention crime wise because of those dip shits. If it were just racers there prolly wouldint be any problems.
I just added some videos myself one involves barney, not sure who your bbc is but I have Barney with BBB...nice video one of the better nights on the John. Yes roughmornindump its all about knowing when and where, but everyone still has fun on the John as well. R.I.P Shoemaker he is the one that had the ol T-Bucket :(...my husband was there when it happened. He knew all those guys.
@smi7ie ya my ole man was down there when that happened i had to be about 7 or maybe younger when it happened :( and the cutlass on my other vid is the twins :)
@smi7ie yep i remember all that very well my dad was the one with the candy apple red 69 amx during them days he was one of the faster cars down there an im aware the jon is still fun but much different then back then not so many punks thugs you know
i grew up in fa fa flint town watchin my dad race his 69 amx here them were the good old days. i remember a a fast ass t bucket was racing an hit the telephone pole at the finish line an died rip.then the next time we went to industrial to race the fire department opened the hydrants an flooded the hole strip .there are some very fast cars in flint you just gotta stay up late an no the right spots to watch them aka barney bbc the black stang silver malibu clifford camp slow FAST
@jeffb8074 yeah racin in lapeer an milan im sure but rest assured they will race on the e way this summer sometime the jon is a bit crazy on a fri or sat night dont think the big boys want anything to do with it
@roughmornindump the t bucket. yep my dad has told me that story he was down their and left right befor eit happend because bruce "T bucket driver" was drinking too much and getting scary so they left and then hear he had jumped the curb wich threw him out of the car and then the car hit the pole. that should be a leesion to everyone nowdays don't mix booz and cars.
@Tuned4speed08 yes sir id say i was about 9 or 10 so 23 yrs ago now still tons of fun at the jon just glad its all american muscle an not ricers check out other street racing vids an they just dont compare to what the boys do on 475 lit an darkside just keep havin fun guys love to watch the vids
@roughmornindump Real car guys appreciate any clean fast and nice car Import, Domestic doesnt matter. im a car guy i like everything clean and fast, Mopars and Imports for me, remember not to put all imports in the same class as these guys who put huge spoilers on front wheel drive cars and kids who put a autozone can on their eclipse and think its fast, these guys are not considered import guys. remember the black subi STi? he smoked everything he raced. have respect for all fast and clean cars
@Tuned4speed08 He wasn't thrown, he was wearing his seat belt. As for drinking well I wasn't there, but he always drank and I never seen it affect his driving.
@BOOT350V well mt dad knew him pretty well and was their too. drinkin is what killed him. you dont drink in a car with 900hp before the "three stages of nitrous" and go crazy. two people have died in t buckets down here. Shoemaker wenmt down the strip hopped the curb it threw him out cus he wasnt wearing a seat belt and the car went by its self and hit a pole. bruce died when he was thrown out.
@Tuned4speed08 He wore his seatbelt as always, plenty of my/his friends down there. He drove with a few drinks more than you have driven, not that I beleive in drinking and driving. How bout I post your name online and what happens to you. Show some respec!
@BOOT350V ok whatever you want to think i know the real story. it doesnt really matter any way how it happend i was just putting the story i know up here for folks to see. bruce was a friend of my dads so i can talk about it and i have respect for the dead. and who do you think you are?! post my name online? see what happends to me? What the fuck? who the fuck are you? Threatin me? That just pisses me the fuck off. haha i know your bitter about losing to imports in ur shitty 350. its ok i get it
@Tuned4speed08 I find it hard to believe you can comment acurately on something that happened when you were 3yrs old. I am merely trying to correct your ignorance. I made no threat, just presented an example you might be able to grasp. If your pissed off np I'll be sure to interduce myself if we cross paths.
@BOOT350V correct my ignorance? lol wow ok. once again.."MY DAD USED TO BE GOOD FRIENDS WITH BRUCE" the night it happend he tried taking the keys from him because he was so drunk. im not ignorant i know he true stroy. you must have had too many that night too cause you dont know shit obviously. I know stories back from when him and my uncle hung out. remeber his Shelby cobra? you know what happend to that cobra after he had come back into town? INTERRRRRDUCE your self now if your so bad ass.
yeah that works, it gives people a taste of Flint racing, too bad the faster cars wern't out that night tho. i'll be down their tonight. im hoping it will be a good night. i drive a white crx.
haha my footage is better than yours of this night! but not bad, its kinda funny seeing it from another camera. did you get the red cuda Smokin that new chevy cmaro? that was a great race.
