I'm a member of Southeast Gasser's Association. Wonderful organization great people and awesome Race Cars. My car is a C/Gas 56 Chevrolet named the Northeast Assassin. I live in Connecticut and travel to these events in the South! Quain Stott did a awesome job!

I'm 70 so that brought back a lot of memories. Dover Dragway in New York and Connecticut Dragway. Thanks.

This was a great day of racing! I came from Calgary, Alberta, Canada to watch. SEGA is truly a family. Everyone there treated me with nothing but kindness. Can't wait to get back!

Love hearing everyone rowing the 4-speeds!!!

Best racing Knoxville sees all year long. Great video Mr. Byrd.

I love gassers. Back in the sixties I had a subscription to Hot Rod magazine. It was loaded with gassers. I always loved the stance with the straight front axle. I thought the early funny cars we’re cool too.when I think off a drag car the gasser is the first thing I think of. To me there’s nothing cooler than a 55’ Chevy gasser. Great video

The very best drag racing action period.

"First to the finish." Racing as it should be. Great cars in this video...

While watching these races, I can smell the air. I love going to SEGA events. You need to treat yourself and watch a SEGA event at Shady Side Dragway in Shelby, NC. I was fortunate enough to watch a handful of these races there and it was the best drag racing I've ever been to. A lot of these cars I recognize and it's too cool to watch them online. Took some of my favorite photos with these cars. Definitely worth checking out!

i love being a member of this group. i really appreciate how much time and effort everyone has put forth into their gassers. im a huge history nerd and love seeing stuff like this in person.

I wish I knew you were going to be there. I'd of shook your hand. Thanks for the cool channel.

Lots of racers from upstate South Carolina I’ve been followings this series a couple of years now.

Absolutely great video's love watching 👀 this stuff. Brings me back to my younger years in life. Great times thx

Southeast Gassers Association, ROCKS!!!

I went and watched the SEGA races here in South Carolina last weekend. Loved it great racing!

My race buddy you just made drag racing gold.you rock you are talking my language now brother.

I follow south East gassers online. I missed the kilkare race that being the closest to me. Great video. Wish they came to Michigan

I really like the old school drags &heads up racing 1st at finish line wins

hey! thanks for doing this piece! I've always loved gassers, and its nice to learn some more about them :)

SEGA is making drag racing great again. Heads up, three pedals, balls on full display drag racing, that's how it started, and that still needs to be the core of it.

Just awsome love the high winding and the 4 speeds that go with it

Would love to see these come to Florida !

Love a good classic gasser....😍😎 Just had your LOST DRAGSTRIPS, GHOSTS OF QUARTER-MILES PAST and Street SLEEPERS, The art of the deceptively fast car books delivered.... Looking forward to see more videos and books (gassers?) from you! I hope that you and your family are all doing well!

Hands down the best vintage racing channel with even better stories. Thank you for what you do.

Great video! I've got to say that my personal favorites are the station wagons. I've always loved watching a grocery getter taking off from the line.

Awesome video. I talked to you at Knoxville drag Way Saturday night. In the pits. Wearing long sleeve monkey gas shirt & zoom cap with gold fish hook on Left side

I love nostalgia drag racing too. Gassers always have my ❤️. I hope to have one some day. Nice video!

You guys are so fortunate in the States to have these events. Wow classic cars. Supped up visual drag monsters. How I'd love to see one of these meetings. I was never a petrol head. Came across your channel by chance one day. Subbed and vegitated for a week consuming every video. Love it.... Love it.... Love it !!!

I sure do enjoy your videos!! For a young man, you are so informative!! I'm from NEArkansas and old style racing was really big in the 60s and 70, and still racing old school style in Paragould,At at George Rays Drag Way!! I am 69 yrs old and loving this!!

I love the old gassers👍👍👍👍❤️

Thanks for sharing great show love the gassers!!!!a friend from Canada Rob ✌

Thanks Brother , I Love it ! I grew up with these cars it is so Very cool to see old time heads up racing . You guys are the BEST .

I love watching SEGA.

Thanks I hope you enjoyed the show.im the Crew Chief on the Flower Power.

Tommy, I love you brother and all of your great videos! 💯 As much as I love the racing....nothing beats your back stories and the way you tell them 😎🎉😎 Living in the San Francisco Bay Area , I would give anything to see a Southeast Gassers Race. We do get "The March Meet" and "The California Hot Rod Reunion"...... even a Nostalgia race in Lodi and a bunch of races in Sacramento. 😉 Keep up the great work brother and most of all....keep those back stories coming! 🔥😎🔥

I love your channel keep up the good work

Loved the video. Wished Thunder Valley (noble oklahoma) would put a show on like that. The best show that happens once a year is drag week. I don't know its going on until I see street cars pulling trailers w/ their equipment. Keep em coming ( your videos)👍

I was their and am in a bunch of your footage...lol...Had a blast seeing all them cars!!!!

Thank you for another great video. Keep up the good work.

Dont forget the 60's period correct super stock class that has really taken off since being added a couple yrs ago!

PAY ATTENTION, I’m gonna say this once. GASSERS RULE. NUFF SAID.

Authentic even down to the Go Go girls😎 Cool! And I don't think I've ever seen a Henry J racing before!! That was neat

Thank you forvan awesome video ! Take care , stay safe and healthy wherever or whatever you maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas .

Thanks for sharing a friend from Canada Rob ✌

I wish the Southeast dragsters would come out by me. My next car that I would love to build would be a gasser. I stopped racing King street because they stopped doing heads up racing which is one of the main reasons I did that class.

GASSERS ROCK !! HOPE THAT DUDE WAS OK AT THE END . GEAR SLAMMNG FUN!

It was the advent of the B&M Hydromatic transmission back in 1963 that brought about the big changes in the Gas coupes and sedan class' because now a stock bodied car could work with an all out racing engine. I was there... I know. It was a very big deal when Junior Thompson with his '46 Studebaker coupe pulled off the first wheelstand in a door car. The Street Roadster and the Modified Sportscar classes were basically the same other than body type. In the early days, the gassers were required to start their engines with starter motors and return to the pits under their own power. That all changed. The engine had to be mounted not more than 25% of the wheelbase measured from the front end spindles to the centerline of the rear wheels at the first spark plug. It was wonderful when the NHRA instituted the Modified Production class for the guys with street rods that couldn't compete with the gassers anymore.

AWESOME 👍👍👍👍

I really like watching them!!! Great video brother!

Drag racing needs more back up girls.

Love love those ole Gassers

Jus' squint those eyes just a little bit and help the SEGA boys live up to their mission statement: PERIOD CORRECT GASSERS!!!!!!!

As you said these cars are a handful so fail to mention the female drivers who are just as competitive i am a fan of the southeast gassers i love they brought it back i wasnt born til 73 and didnt have a chance to see them because i was born too late fan base growing every year and i hope it is around for future generations as well

When I seen that 58 chevy I about lost my breath I've been looking for one for years to build one just like my dad had his was white with red seats was and impala with 348 tri power with an automatic he had it before he went to Vietnam and while he was away one of my uncles was doing a tune up on it for him for when he come home and someone crunk it up and was revving it up and their foot slipped off of the brake and it crashed through the shop wall and when dad came home and saw it he was heartbroken and sold it and I always wanted to find another one to fix up for him but he passed before I could and I just have a love for that body style

Well done! I dig the AMC.

I'm glad the driver of Taz is all right. But I got to tell you, I much rather see these cars take to the track and get aired out like they were made to be, then sit in somebody's yard rot in hell away. You know race cars crash it's what happens. But I got to give the guy mad respect, cuz he didn't lighten up he flogged that car, and that's what the hell they were made to do. If I had the money I'd rebuild it for him. I'd like to thank him for not babying that shit. The 40 41 Willys is one of my favorite cars of all time, it sucks that somebody dumped oil on the track and got them loose at the big end, but let's face it that's drag racing. You think I want to see a 1960s Gasser go out there and pussyfoot it? Hell no. The man gave it the beans all day. Mad respect.

I believe I have seen Taz race before. I was in Columbus Ohio at a Goodguys show/race and a car just like his ended up on its roof that day. I wonder if it was him? Ron

Personally, I don't enjoy watching modern drag racing. I'm only interested in the cool old stuff.

I watched it twice 😂 great video brother 👌

Got my home track, Baileyton, in there.

boy to those gassers take me back smell of burning rubber in the morning better than coffee

Feel bad 4 Gary Cline he skinned that car up in North Carolina couple years ago. I plan on being in Aiken on Friday night. Last year it rained Saturday in Aiken. My son and I got to see a SEGA sunday sermon from Mitch Stott.

Cool vid !!!!!!!!!! 👍 👍 👍 👍

Knoxville drag way 10 min away had a lot of good times there

You forgot the S/S class!! 13 cars,,,with Mark Hackett running the Mercury Poison-65 Comet,, fastest qualifier,, 1st place Winner!! 1st in points!! Record crowd attendance,,,,,,,,,,,,my 2nd trip there,,,,worth every penny!!

Too cool. 👍

Wish Allan Platt would have been there with his 65 Falcon.

I seen Alan platts Georgia Shaker in this video today is his birthday Happy birthday Alan

16:35 , Todd Oden Double-X= Serious Weight Transfer!

Personally in my opinion nhra has ruined drag racing you have to be a millionaire just to run national events southeast gassers has got their business together and the racing is too cool keep up the good work love the videos

Interesting for a European like me. There are so many laws in France that you cannot make many modifications to your vehicle, a bit like in Switzerland. Higher, wider, longer, bigger engine = no, no, no, no. But you can buy electric sh.... car very expensive. I will never buy an electric car. You're in luck. Thanks for sharing this video.

Do the small block Chevys have too run stock type heads or can they use aftermarket heads?

Can't somebody get Gasser racing organized in the Southwest?

If that just doesnt make you smile then theres just something wrong with you. BTW Im an old roundy round guybut I loved it!

Can you sometime talk about Ernie the Mongoose McEwen

First thing I have always loved gases . I never will forget the Ohio gang . Many good names . They would go from dragstrip to dragstrip challenge and anyone that was there they challenge anyone at the local track of course not many people could beat them . One of the guys was the guy that owned Mr. gasket . Then it was Eddie's filthy 40 . I agree with most of what he's done . I don't agree to the cars bouncing that's extremely dangerous . Then the ET rule I understand . But back in the 60s when I went racing I want to know how fast they were . Street outlaw's does that silly stuff . That's because the cars on fast as they say they are . It's treated laws also allows traction control . Which no one allows .. I watched this clown Mike Finnigan with his gasser . You could build a pro stock car for what he put in that car . In all aluminum hemming motor . He shifts the car like a 90-year-old man . The gasses that I remember they could shift so fast you had to look in the car to be sure was a four-speed . The jolly dolly was an immaculate 39 Chevy . Bob Bernardin on the car he was a machinist by trade . So the call was absolutely perfect . It would go straight every time and he was shift like Ronnie socks . At my local track we had a car called the bluebird and it was pretty nice to but not his detailed . Then the local dragstrip owner had a 55 Chevy C gasser . We thought it was fast . Until the Ohio gang came and cleaned his clock . Keep up the good work . By the way if you ever stop to think about maybe starting a museum .

GreAt vid bud

Please tell more about all chevy performance magazine

As LodiGlass said ... 'Drag racing needs more back up girls' .. &, in my opinion, none of them is hotter than the one with the gorgeous auburn/ginger hair.

Magnesium

Rules are a little to strict. Runes the fun

Bracket Racings Sucks, THIS is Drag Racing !!

It's 99% all good, but I just can't get sold on the 1/8th mile. Don't like it. A drag race is 1/4 mile. Period.
