Also, there are no boring stories just uninterested listeners.

I am sorry that you did not enjoy our full length fully narrated video. Most of our customers enjoy learning the history behind the footage. If that is not what you want I guess you will have to look elsewhere for your videos.

why is drag racing not fun anymore?

I have had several comments relative to the title of this video: Drag Racing When It Was Fun. To fully understand what I mean you have to see the complete fully narrated video rather than this brief teaser clip. In no way am I inferring that Drag Racing is not fun in the past, present and future. Hear the Pro's talk about when they used to race just for the fun of it rather than the big business it has become. I hope this helps to clarify the true meaning of the title.Jim Amos .

I have had several comments relative to the sounds contained on our video clips. At Bee On Video we attempt to bring silent film alive with real car sounds that we dub onto the footage. We have a large library of sounds featuring all brands and types of vehicles. We are proud of what we do with the sounds. We attempt to use accurate sounds for Fords, Chevys, Mopars, ect. We do not do rock and roll music only the pure sounds of drag racing vehicles. Jim Amos Bee On Video

Did you happen to catch the prices of the "regular" and "ethyl" gas on the A-Frame sign in front of the gas station? It was .30 cents and .34 cents. Yes....you read it right. How in the hell did we get to this stage?

@Crumpetmaster1 sounds like someone's mad they got beat by one.

Awesome video! I love to see how it was done back then. I wish I were around then racing instead of nowadays with all the Jap cars and money it cost now, Thanks!

I still remember the days.

Drag Racing every Saturday night.

The crash barrier was hay bales and the pits were the bare area on the other side.

You stopped by the local airport and got some 120 octane avgas, put on bigger tires, added new sparkplugs and headed for the strip in time to qualify.

Somebody painted a number on your car with shoe polish you went racing.

You hoped that your car didn't break because that was what got you to work or school on Monday.

It was more fun in a lot of ways.

It's to political for me its always the same winners. John Force is an asshole and he cheats. Tony Schumacher over rated and Greg Anderson stuck up. I like IHRA better more down to earth racers and at least they fuelers still run the 1320 in stead of a thousand foot witch sucks.

@slydog122 amen!

[DavosOPENMIND]

[Crumpetmaster1]

[dizzypilots1]

@slydog122 amen these cars are their own music.

[dizzypilots1]
