Those were the days! Great action and thanks for preserving it.

Miss the days of the early racing where you didn’t need a million dollars to play in these classes

Jim's early 70's DVDs from edited 8mm film are the absolute best! This DVD is one of my favorites, and I have over 40 of his excellent entertaining DVDs. Plus Jim is a really great guy!

Yeah my brother-in-law had the fastest Chevelle broccoli the fastest car down there a couple of the Raceway Tom Bowman set a 69 SS Super Sport Chevelle 351 Cleveland motor with a six pack what Nitro running low eighths running low heat on the Strip beat a dragster to win a trophy at the end Outback in 1980s

Is this UA-cam channel still active? I have questions about the man in the video.

My brother and I went to pick up his new 1969 Chevrolet SS396 in late 68 at Degnan Chevrolet in Philly on Frankford Ave., as I walked into the showroom on the left t was a dark blue 69 Camaro with a sign in front "Blue Max". Little did I know it was the only ZL-1 my eyes fell upon and yrs. Later found out it was the Schmidt's labeled car.

Thank you. RIP

My friends and I used to go out to the Hamptons dragway all the time in the 80's and 90's,sometimes to race and other times to watch and check out the competition. Did a lot of street racing as well on 109 in Bethpage, and Newbridge Road. Concrete was great for traction! Signed.. The Dodge Boys

Video is proof those points distributors will get the job done !

Mopar dominated back then until NHRA kept adding weight on them to slow them down. In other words, to make it more competitive for GM and Ford.

I love this track knowing how close it is to me and the small town called Hackettstown

Is it just me or some of the slower car seem like they sped up the film speed

Mopars won 90 % of the races!

Hardly anyone overweight back then. Now everyone is huge.

Good history video

Thanks for the video! Glad to see this 1955 IndyCar finale on the internet!

I just saw this for the first time. I knew Jack and Joe back in the day and attended several weekends at York us 30 with them in the 70s

Great video, Jim! Well deserved!

We used to flat tow our cars from Commack and E. Northport on the L.I.E. out the Hamptons dragstrip almost every weekend. We could have driven them out there but always broke something and would have needed a tow back anyway

Went to several races as a kid. Saw most of the cars on the video. Awesome stuff to see grumpy vs Ronnie Sox.

I'd love to order this video but your website video list isn't working

Funny even though the cars are from the 20th century the raceway set up in the 21 century, The crowd in the stands are pushed way back from the racing lanes and everyone is fenced in all around with concrete barriers on the race lanes. Being closer was more fun.

Pit side same bleachers

Pure stock drags is what I watch now

The golden yrs

Good times back then , graduated high school in 70.❤😂

3.14, Vinny Lyons, Rye Ford 135 68 Mustang Cobra Jet. He is the original owner of that car, and he still races it today!

Thanks. Lots of looking, finally a UA-cam vid of Gordon Dow’s BB/A, Irma la Douce. Towed it many times…. Cover shot and @3:50

I was standing on the top level of those old wood bleachers that day. When Garlits made that run,the bleachers shook so bad,I thought I might fall off. I was 16 years old and I haven't been the same since. Thanks Don! 😁

Tommy and I are from the same town of Section, Alabama. I met and did business with him a handful of times throughout the years. He owned and operated "Crossroads 4×4". He was one of the coolest and most respectful person that i have ever met. He always treated me as if he knew me his entire life with long conversation about cars, my Novas and drag racing in general. He was a pleasure to meet and to know. Rest in peace Mr Jones. ✨

Best time to be alive in America.

Raced @ York US 30 in the Nationals in 1967 won my class H Stock in a 1962 Chevy Impala SS

So he punched Carl so hard it sounded like a tree branch breaking!!! I'm 60 now..I was prolly 10 yrs old!!! Lol..❤🇺🇸🇬🇧🏁😎💪

Carl Furman was king on his 750 tripple Till Jim hammers beat him one day..hammers punched him in the face for acusing him of cheating!!!❤

And Vicki Lyn!! The playboy bunny!!❤

LOL, I can remember my oldest brother trailering his car to church on Sunday mornings, and getting the Priest to Bless the car. He won pretty regularly so maybe there was something to it. He always gave 10% of his winnings.

Very nicely done with the captions and a believable voice over PA Announcer. Thanks for posting this unique look back into the history of Champ Dirt Car racing...My favorite!

Jim Amos is a very special person, and the time and effort Jim put into saving and bringing to life these 8mm films, is always the best

BEST *

This makes me smile. I am 77 years old and boy did I love this when i was a boy. I use to take my old cars to Satellite Drag Strip back in the 60's. Good Old Day.

Anderson Olds was driven by Sonny Freeman.

Yes sir in the day you worked on the car all week and raced on the streets Friday night and went to the drag strip Saturday night

The best era of dragracing.

As far as I'm concerned when they allowed Grumpy Jenkins to put a V8 in a Chevy Vega Pro Stock went downhill.

Thank you so much for uploading this Video

That Dodge had Adios MF on the back. The term Mother F#$%^ back then was not used no where near like today, so I was surprised to see it. In fact profanity back then was no where like today. I was a kid back then pre 65'. By the late 60s it was like someone hit a switch and like night and day as the profanity blew up as common as today.
