This is really touching. I love seeing the race cars live on. My grandfather passed away yesterday and he was one of the original stock car drivers. He's the reason I love cars. I'm building an old coupe and it has his name on it. I want to honor him by it and drive it till the wheels fall off.

John is a car guy in every sense of the term. The fact that he actually drives this thing is what makes him the truest of car guys.

Awesome!! Just flat out awesome. I watched this with a smile on my face for the whole video. More power to you John!

The channel which knows when music must subside

I absolutely love John, his car, and the reason he drives it. Such car feels.

As a hot rodder, I love this video. Hot flathead V8 in a historical race car, ya just can't beat it. I like the guy's mentality, too. "Screw it, it makes me happy, I'm going to drive it on the street". Brilliant!

YOU SIR, ARE AN INSPIRATION. Thanks for the example of not letting seniority hold you back.

Can't help but just smile while watching this. I want to be that guy when I'm old

John's other life was as a crew member on the Miss Budweiser unlimited hydroplanes, there are two miniature APBA Gold Cup trophies there on his shelf.

Man. It’s impossible to be sad or angry driving something like that. He basically has lived the American dream. His own business with family, worked 50 years and now owns something (multiple) that makes him very happy. Well done, friend, I’m envious.

This could have been an hour and I’d have watched every minute. Very well done

Wow, wow, WOW! Imagine driving such a beautiful piece of both art and history on the road! Truly amazing :D

Passion! John's life is full and it is a treat to listen to his description of how busy one has to be in the cockpit with this car. Imagine many similar cars racing together and how sketchy that must have been!

This car is so cool. Love Indy type roadsters. Great video and thanks for sharing.

Outstanding shipmate. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. Jan 1980 to July 1983.

Anyone that's fooled with an old car gets this same feeling . Truly remarkable race car.

Very awesome vid! Its a rare opportunity to ever see anybody with such a deep inside passion for driving a car. John recognizes the historical significance of this car and by driving it he gets to feel and be a part of that history through the drivers seat, there can be no better way! I collect and restore older US and German military trucks and I have always owned what could be considered a fast car and frankly the thrill of driving a car that ANYBODY else can go out and buy and with a computer hooked to it can go over 200 mph the thrill is gone for me, this is my last "fast" car. I would rather drive my 50 Power Wagon that I spent 2 years taking apart and rebuilding every single piece on this truck, THAT puts a mile on my face similar to Johns as seen in this video! John I in all sincerity take my hat off to you, your attitude is the greatest inspiration to many of us out here, and greatly appreciated by me! Thanks for sharing!

The most astonishing aspect of this video to me is that it is of the cinema-grade quality and almost every shot is a masterpiece, color, staging etc. Got in my recommendations, haven't watched this channel before.

What a great car and a great story. The best part is he drives it. If I owned it I would drive it as well. My garage contains no trailer queens and never will. I’ve been looking for the right pre 40s race car.

loved it! I was smiling when John said it gets busy in the cockpit and that the car wants to hunt, for many thats a no no, they dont know what they are missing!

epic and an absorbing film, more please !!

Thank you for keeping a vehicle like this running. Enjoy this.

Das muss ein wunderbares Gefühl sein, damit über öffentliche Straßen zu fahren.❗ Einfach nur Großartig.❗👍👏🤝 Freundlichst Willi . . . 🙋‍♂️

Great story, great filming and great guys with legends as cars. If I get 75 years old I would call myself a lucky guy driving one of these phenomenal work of craftsmanship.

I hope to see him on the streets around here. Great work.

Fantastic. I love every element of this story and video. Great guys involved.

Love the car. No discernable license plate, turn indicator, lights or mirror. You have allot of balls.

WOW... Great Video !! There are just certain things in Life, that makes Life worth Living.....This Video..Nails It !......Thank you very much....

I am 80 years old and I just had a chuckle watching the "knee action" it took to get in the car. (2.04) I have to do that just to get in my 1/2 ton 4X4. Have fun...Arnie

This video made my day! Amazing work!

what a great bunch of fellas keeping the past alive, love it.

Nice story. Great explanation on how this beauty came to be.

Thanks for sharing....beautiful job

Love this so much. Hope to see it on the road some day as I cruise through Seattle.

FANTASTIC!!!

this was really enjoyable, thank you .

wow, the algorithm just offered this up to me and this is amazing content. Beautifully produced and a wonderful car and story, too! thanks!

Fantastic & inspirational . Thanks for sharing !

I can feel the spirit and passion of this piece of engineering

Thank you for this video! You just made my day!

This put a smile on my face. Thank you.

2022, I sure hope Mr Bianchi is still running that car around from time to time. Thanks for the great story.

The prewar race cars are amazing for what they were and with the technology they had available at the time. More amazing the guys and some ladies that drove them were made of brave stuff. For anyone to experience driving these cars like John it an experience that cannot be matched. The cars separated the men from the boys and even today at road car speeds, demonstrate how difficult they were to drive. Explained very well here. Brilliant to see John's retirement is taking him back to his youth. Would it be that we all had the opportunity. Magical.

In a world that feels like we're living in some sort of apocalyptic zombie movie some times, it's so cool to find a story like this. A very enthusiastic thumbs up!

I love vintage race cars. These guys are really talented.

And right in my backyard. What a cool car to drive around on a sunny day!!

I absolutely love his attitude about the car and how he enjoys driving it publicly or otherwise. What baffles me is how? How can this car be street-legal with no lights, no turn-signal-lights, and no brake-lights, at least none that I'm aware of? How does that work, legally?

Great story, beautifully shot and edited.

It's awesome to see this kind of stuff in my home state.

I grew up knowing cars and wheeling was in my dna my dad always talked about his cars he owned the races he ran at pikes peak and bandimere but one day he ran the 1/4 with me in his peterbuilt and all in the 14 seconds i both became forever addicted and also lost any chance of pursuing anything auto till i moved out thanks to an overeacting mom and now i own a shop and am on my way to once again making a pass so this super inspiring also the essence of real race cars never die is how my shop runs ive built many smaller projects completly from scratch wich has always been a masive point of pride now i know why....also no where near retIred dont think i ever will be able to but i get that wanting to wake up just to drive feeling sometimes the urge to hear a turbo spool is the only thing that gets me up

Nice!!! This is my corner of the world. Dads home track was Silverdale Speedway in Kitsap County. 1967 thru 1973. Superstocks, ran the #37 with Dave 'Snoopy" Grayson at the wheel. First year was a '54 Buick wagon, affectionately known as the 'baby hippo' and then it was a '56 Buick century after that. Raced and/or attended races at Monroe, Skagit, Elma when it was still the old mile and a quarter, Port Angeles, Langley, B.C., Spanaway, Centralia, and Portland. I remember watching those old sprint cars at Portland, loud, fast and 'squirrelly'.

What a beautiful video. Emotional and inspiring

Simple magic. Fantastic, feel-good video - good health to all

John Bianchi looks great for 75 years old, when you follow your heart, it seems like time stops for you to get out and smell the roses 🙂

I Appreciate You Sir driving this beast of a car . Most people show them lord knows why as cars are built to be driven not parked for ever more . Thanks for posting this race car it really does want to take off ! Beautiful Race Car .

Your cinematography is is amazing. Adds so much to your great storytelling.

That's sooo beautiful! I love that thing!🤘🔥

Really cool. Thank you.

Nothing better in life than a calling and a hobby that you love!

OMG, this is so cool and nostalgic, I wish that I could live the past again 🥲

This was awesome. Thank you. Subscribed.

Some beautiful shots in this, wow.

Cholera, piękny wóz. Świetny film!

Legends never die ! very beautiful car and nice engine sound

This man knows his craft. These cars are beautifully restored.

Great shots, nice paint.

That's just put a huge smile on my face

I really like that he actually drives it, maybe not a bunch - but at least it gets exercised. Great history on the car, and its true how race cars go on to become other race cars, parts go here or there into other cars.

Something so special about these cars.

Indeed, those 30s and earlier cars are the best-looking Indy cars made, IMHO. And it is a great feeling to drive an old racer: I was compelled to pursue old racers, at 34, after nearly dying from a severe injury. I'm blessed to live among plenty of empty country roads, where I can open up an old '25 Ford T V8 hot rod, or a '20 Ford T Rajo-powered fairground racer, and know I'm alive. www.americantorque.com/page/0/2585/ www.americantorque.com/page/0/1123/ Folks often ask, "Don't you get cold/hot/uncomfortable?" all the time. And I always respond, "You'll have to want it, then you'll understand why that stuff doesn't bother me." Driving an open (even bodyless) car that feels the road and fills the air with mechanical sounds is exhilarating. So much more rewarding than a modern car.

One word for this man...God bless 🙏

Old race cars don't die, they just fade away

Nothing starts your day like going for morning coffee in a 1925 Buick roadster

Fun interviews, great content 👍

Beautiful collection.

Great short movie! Thanks.

This really warms my heart. First off...I really love that body style. I would love to drive that myself. Second...I grew up (back in the sixties) with my Dad racing whatever our 'daily driver' was at the time. This included a '54 Jag XK120 (with an Oldsmobile 303 "Rocket '88" engine in it), an Alfa Spyder, and a Porche 356A coupe. The only 'real' race car he got to have was an old Formula Junior with a whole whopping 1200cc British four-banger in it. As a kid, I got to grow up 'in the pits', as it were. Third...this is all kinda right here in my own neighborhood, sort-o'-speak. I'll have to keep Mr. Woolery's name in mind...just in case I ever get to bring home a flathead V8 to build. Just as a note...between this vid and the one about cycle karts, I find myself inclined to subscribe to this channel.

old race cars never die... except from when it a cold morning and they fail to come to life lol

That #84 Indy racer is a beautiful thing !!! It has living MANA! 😏🤗🍺. TRUE AMERICAN DREAM. KIWI.

Got to love it! I'm 75, he's 75, Man go for it!

The passion for the past and present ... what beautiful car. The Hunter.

That car is so cool...reminds me of the monopoly car i want one

Very Masterpiece. Kiss from Italy^^

75 years old having a fun... Every day may be his last day, but he still thinks about fun.

Amazing video

Watching your videos is more it's like an experience it's amazing

Excellent, thank you!

what a beauty. listen to her purr.

What a beautiful story!

I know full well that this is a weird thing to say but... That car sounds happy. When all the others have rusted, crashed, been lost to time or polished up and put in a museum that car is still driving out under the sun with someone who appreciates it. Cruising amongst all those white boxes on wheels is that gorgeous bit of passion and craftsmanship

This video is awesome, hopefully my car will become a racecar one day and live on 🙏 Sooo amazing

Such a beautiful car!

Such a beautiful, amazing car!

john have always loved your passion

Люблю старые гоночные автомобили, они живые...

I grew up in Tacoma, lived there 47 years. If you've been there a long time, you may have seen my father driving his two tone 53' Hudson around, it was well known throughout the city between the early 60's to mid 90's.

the footage is perfect

a dream came true well done

That is just the coolest thing with the best story!

I lived next to a guy growing up who raced these back in the day. He had trophies and pictures to go with all his stories. He was an old man with no family left who lived alone and he was gone one day. I would have visited him more if I knew what a living treasure he was. But then again I was off doing 11 year old boy adventures with my friends like all us 80's kids.
