Close to the action, watch full screen in HD for the Midwest Super Stock Mafia, and Chicago Wiseguys, plus exhibition wheelstander, nostalgia funny cars, and as close as you can get without catching on fire to the jet cars! I just put this together from the raw video, so some of it is a little rough, but it conveys pretty much what it's like to be "right there"! I hope you enjoy watching this video as much as I did shooting it! 08/05/12 Video by me: Kelly J

Last time I was there was in the Mid eighties. Track still looks the same, new bleachers too. Made one pass there too in a 1970 Torino 429 SCJ automatic. Brings back many great memories..

Hi, What kind of camera were you using? The sound is good without any distortion as close as you were and the HD quality is very good.

My buddy got ahold of a dodge van/truck wheelstander. Someone cut the top off and made it a convertible.so after that's fixed, he is gonna paint it like the "lil red wagon" wheelstander.

This drag stip looks like it runs down hill until the shut off area, where it goes up hill. Nothing like helping the racers out every way possible !
@UncleStevie8er
@UncleStevie8er 9 жыл бұрын
Dragstrips are allowed a 2% slope. Not sure what the slope is at Byron since it was built in the 60's. The shutdown goes uphill to aid in slowing the cars down. Byron is an old strip but still looks great and friends that have raced there liked it.

The first two Dragters almost brig tears to your eye, The motorcycle stunts EXCELLENT!. This is the place to do not on our highways and freeways stopping traffic to do a youtube vid. WOW wish I could have there. This was a really good event. I wasn't sure when the announcer said its gonna get real hot over there if he talking about the Hot Blonde or the "Dude, Did you know theres a rocket behind you? ". Flame On! wow 287 miles per hour!. Unfortunate for other guy ran out of butane. But things might not be all that bad for him. I think the the blonde had an interest in him And finally the typical locals that like to build Hot Rods but there always some that will build a beautiful engine and when they get to the rear end. They just put big rubber on. Hopefully after they launched that day will figure out The rear end is just as important as the motor is. The Media use to really promote the Funny Cars Do you remember the days of The Snake and The Mongoose? Nice vid. really enjoyed it.

I appreciate you uploading old school dragracing. But that rapid movement with the camera is given me a headache big time! The point where I stop the video three minutes in. And this is the racetrack. I used to go to as a kid.
