I can promise you all of those cars were steel roof and quarters with a VIN tag. It's literally a requirement for the class they were racing in.

Nice GTO though... Nitrous broke his pistons...

Your right, not true Pro Street. No tags or registration. Anymore any door car with a big tire they call Pro Street. True street car drag racing here was ruined long ago with stretching of rules, etc.

Scrub pro street here used to be cars that looked like drag cars but we're more like show cars that would occasionally hit the strip usually just enough to say that they weren't all show and no go but more often than not they just cruised the shows doing burn outs some of these cars used to be that but the old guys that owned them are starting to sell them now and with a few updates and shedding all he useless show interiors and chrome they are finally reaching there true potential.check out some of the channels dedicated to this strange trend of pro street car cruises and shows and you will see the difference between these true streetable race cars and those show cars made to look like race cars.

Scrub ( Y'all). Just very far behind the curve.. Take it from a southern man. Idk how to even incorporate that word into my vocabulary...

@@KJ-nx7hh 😄 Forgive me for laughing.

there were a lot of posers back then too. cars looked like the went 7.40's but could barely run 12.50's lol

Dude, even though a blower sends seriously fridged air into the top of the engine, the bottom end and tranny have no cooling by design...Cooling saps HP/space for engine. Turbo, Procharger and Nitrous are little different except you might see some intercoolers here and there. Slicks are illegal EVERYWHERE for obvious reasons(throwing stones, obvious sign of a car that doesn't adhere to even one emission or safety standard like bumpers etc etc) I guess what I'm saying is that they're not designed to drive 20miles. The ones that are for the tours, they generally shut parts of the engine down like rerouting turbos/shutting blowers right off etc for the road driving part.

Chris Harris , I get what your saying , it's just back in the day it was totally different and to see how far race cars have changed since then is astonishing , now a day's I'm more into the true street kind of shit , theirs guys out their that can drive their cars anywhere and still run super fast times then drive home if they wanted to , and when I say super fast I mean like under 5's or mid 4's in the 1/8th which is more than respectable , I love the experience of being able to drive my car to the track on dot drag radials beat the shit out of it and drive it home , trailers are a convenience for sure but for me it's all about the journey on the way ,

Oh ya but its the age of technology now. Everyone has to squeak a couple hundredths out of their car by dropping anything that might let you actually drive it. The cops are also monitoring for racecars WAY more than they used to so if you're not on 9.5 or 10.5's, they'll pull you over. I remember when they'd just wink at you if you had a pair of slicks on. Just look at all the cars doing mid 4's now and you'll see that every mom and pop has had to purpose build their car for just the track to be competitive. I remember when mid 4's were a dream except for the guy with hundreds of thousands of dollars. I also remember when Eddie Hill broke seconds in the 1/4 with his top fuel dragster on a true quarter mile. They said any faster might kill the driver. Saw Kilita's crash...god it was awful.

Just like pay phones, knobs to change the channel on TV and pretty much everything else, nothing is like it used to be. Just because a promoter uses the name it doesnt mean it has anything to do with a rule set that some associate from the old NMCA/NSCA org days or even Orlando World Street Finals. With how much drag racing has evolved in the last 10 years with the internet and its huge viewership, with online feeds to the masses and other factors its made payouts grow 10 fold. I think Orlando was i believe 5k for each of the 4 categories 10 years ago and after a few races getting rained on etc it was the driving force where Duck started his races and offered very large payouts. From there promoters are now more making classes and their rules to fit a wider group of cars to fit in to possibly draw larger car counts and not vice versa.

In NHRA Top fuel 1/4 miles: -4sec
