I miss the 90's! It was a great time to be alive, I was young, gas was $.99 a gallon, there wasn't any ricers, and everybody didn't have they're heads up they're asses, and cars didn't have stupid touch screens in the dash and the top 40 didn't lick balls!

I clearly remember hurrying down to our public library after school at the beginning of every month just to be the 1st one to read the newest issue of Hot Rod. I graduated high school in '93 and still remember pouring over this event, day dreaming about what it would be like to see those cars run. Really made my Christmas seeing this footage. A total time capsule back to better days

I remember buying this video in VHS at Pep Boys back in 1994 and damm near watching it every Saturday afternoon for most of 1994

I grew up watching these races and it's amazing to see the evolution of the cars and the times capable now

Cool. Had these videos on VHS. Ha. Those were the days when major grear heads built their own rides/ blocks with buddies.. Love watching these racing at the local drag strip. Got into muscle car as a kid back in the 70s. My older brother took me to one.. and I was hooked 😊 to this day. Funny.. Still have the VHS player in the garage. Ha.

I was a member of the NMCA back in the 1990's! I still love it today!

Awesome video! I just helped restore the yellow Torino Cobra that's at the 35 second mark.It was owned by Paul Adams at this race,he then sold it around 99 or so then he got it back in 2020 .

Holy crap! I used to watch this on vhs.

In 1992, I found it very extreme to read that in hot rod magazine and to see the pictures. In Germany !!! America was far away ! Very far away ! Now 2021 to see the video here Is a goosebumps feeling first class ! What is probably become of all 30 years later! I know that some are deceased! By the hot rod mag. That was the first generation of street racing ! Long before murder nova and big chief and co !!!!

I still have the VHS but no way to play the movie. I bought it off the rack when my younger brother was working at Champion Auto Stores in '92, it looked pretty cool, I just didn't know it would be with me this long.

Crazy to think the cars built in 1967 were only 25 years old

I used to wear out my dad's vhs tapes I loved watching these shows. Real men and real cars those we're the day's.

the c1 vette with the rad paint is my fav car in the vid

You know, when I see the word "street car," it brings to mind the trolleys in San Francisco. I definitely don't want to see them race.

Awesome video my dad had black 68 charger that would set the road on fire,I love these cars american muscle 💪

I had intentions of making this event. I had a 10.60 index 68 Chevelle that I added a 300hp N2O fogger to my 427 based 496. I was in the 8.90s at Carlsbad Raceway that summer. Had the car at RJ’s Race cars to update the cage. But I was still in the Navy and our deployment got moved up two months. I still regret missing it.

And then came Swedes,Norsemen,Danish Vikings and a pesky Finn with record tiny budget invested in a totally nonsensical platform:a B-1 mopar in a Swinger!The fact remains that Scandinavians led by Swedish charge totally dominated the first World street cup in Orlando. Had it been that elderly Björn Cronqwist not sleeping in start,Swedes would ve won every class in that World Cup!American car culture in Sweden is something crazy,just look at recent Sick week held in Florida where fastest class was dominated by Swedes.Even here in Finland where I live ,we have and have had,a vibrant American car culture since mid 70 s.I bought a 1964 Malibu SS with 396 bbc and 4 speed back in 1992 and was addicted by street racing immediately.Malibu ran mid nines with 538 blown bbc(4.625 bore,4.00 stroke) whilst being street driven.Just pure enjoyment cruising in a blown big block Malibu setting off car alarms as you thundered by.

This is not a movie. There are no actors or scripts.

My how the times have changed!!! You can roll up to a stop light anywhere in America these days and have an 8 second quarter mile car setting beside you and never know it....

Legendary cars on a legendary track. Too bad memphis international raceway is no longer there.

If they were street cars why did they all arrive at the track on trailers? Did I miss something?

Back then was funner, big-blocks with Nitro. Today is LS3 with Turbos, everybody wants boost

31:30 man that car was clean even before Tony Christian got it.

The narrator used the entire dictionary on this video. Boy, the ET's street cars can run has sure changed- just look at the guys that run Drag Week.

This was before the start of the nmca

Healthy people and no black t shirts .

Well, my car banned. Too old and too light.. this why GARLITS hated NHRA!!!!
