0:50
first day when all the drag
0:53

1:07

1:09

check out that old ticket booth right
2:06
there little
2:19
used these are the ones all lined
2:19
up go to the track I
2:28
guess so it's not what I was thinking of
2:28
like your typical
2:30
drag racing vehicle not that I know a
2:32
lot about this but just stuff I've
2:34
always assumed what a drag race would
2:36
look like there's a lot of like classic
2:38
cars that are modified to run on the
2:42
track this should be a lot of
2:53
go this is where all of them are lined
2:53
up waiting for their
3:49
way she's going to drive right through
3:49
the top 679 and
3:52
24 that's a
3:55
hearse Dragon behind there the little
3:57
spectator stand there also Spectators
4:01
are allowed to stand up against this
4:03
fence and then also on the other side
4:05
where kind of the parking areas are more
4:19
grand left side off the starting line
4:22

5:23

5:26
ears oh that's pretty cool
5:30
old
6:00
van you have to trve
6:01
holy
6:02
Lord that was
6:06
moving
6:08
6.28 that thing was
6:18
moving report from the top end thanks to
6:18
the Orlando officials driver went into
6:20
the sand at the top end of the racetrack
6:22
but the driver is out of the car and
6:24
okay so put your hands together driver
6:26
out of the car and
6:28
okay
6:31
here's the official merchandise stand
6:33

6:50
the completion of
7:01
it
7:01
resta
7:08
here
7:10
you the exact
7:18
same we see them and we give them unique
7:18
merchandise that you can't purchase
7:19
anywhere so that's the good of s war and
7:22
as I mention
7:52
thing just talking to a guy that goes to
7:52
a lot of these events and he was saying
7:54
that the drag racing Community is like
7:56
definitely very expansive this is just a
7:58
small portion of it in this particular
8:00
one all of these vehicles that are going
8:03
down the track at extreme speeds must be
8:07
street legal so even the one that just
8:09
went 6 Plus seconds down that has to be
8:11
able to drive on a road to the next
8:24
spot sick
8:24
Dairy I always love these style of like
8:27
old vans almost like they would be
8:28
something you see
8:30
someone would have like a I say it's
8:32
like an ice cream truck like almost like
8:33
a a food truck of sorts but really in
8:36
all actual they probably was used for
8:37
like delivering tools and deliveries
8:39
back in the
9:00
awesome
9:44
it's really incredible how fast these
9:44
things go and how quickly they go in
9:48
such a short
9:57
distance I've always heard the legend of
9:57
the figure8 school bus Races they have
10:00
out here in bitho and evidently it's a
10:02
real thing because this is where they
10:04
are right here it' be kind of
10:05
interesting to come check something like
10:07
that out sometime it's even more of them
10:09
over there these are probably the ones
10:11
they use that's got to be quite that's
10:14
got to be quite the event all the way
10:16
down at the end now half the track is
10:18
the race the other half the track is the
10:29
Slowdown
10:59
out
10:59
it's a couple moments of quietness but
11:01
they're few and far between I definitely
11:04
like the gas smell and the racing noise
11:07
add to the Ambiance a little bit while
11:08
we touch up the race those you that are
11:10
here ony you got some time to
11:13
walk something good to eat it's cleaning
11:16
up the track a little bit getting ready
11:17
for the next
11:52
you got some food trucks out here a
11:53
little mobile vendors also a lot of
11:56
people in line to get some
11:57
snacks
12:04
kind of in the mood for something juicy
12:04
so I'm going to get myself a juice item
12:06
over
12:08
here not of smoothie I'm just getting
12:10
the basic juice there you go a little uh
12:13
just some little mango juice here with a
12:15
strawberry on there mix it up in the
12:17
blender but told him I didn't want like
12:18
a smoothie style or anything
12:29
but
12:53
look at that he gave him a head start
12:53
gave like a long headit start just took
12:55
it like nobody's
12:57
business
14:23
in the cars going down the racetrack if
14:23
we see it we will confiscate it again it
14:26
is something that is to be considered a
14:29
you know projectile if God forbid you
14:30
got into an accident it could cause
14:33
serious harm to the driver for those of
14:35
you that don't believe me last year when
14:37
we had a crash at South Georgia there
14:39
was a loose laptop in the car that ended
14:42
up going from underneath the passenger
14:44
seat to the top of the funny car roll
14:47
cage it moved that
14:50
much so no unsecured laptops in cars if
14:54
we see it we will confiscate it so
14:57
please do not do that please make sure
14:59
you secure your laptops or leave them
15:02
out of the
15:12
vehicles once again I have called my C

15:17

18:26

18:47
how this is cool this is going to be on
18:50
the drag STP that's old it's old Ford
18:53
rusted out
18:55
Ford and they do have like a
19:25
I don't know yeah I don't know I'm
19:25
trying to process it all is very
19:27
secretive
19:57
long
20:29
many I take a little break to clean up
20:29
the
20:36
track now it's totally non-related to
20:36
the event but just past the property
20:38
line down there's a big fire see the
20:41
smoke billowing
20:43
up billowing and
20:46
bithow again that's not part of
20:48
the it's not part of the track or
20:50
anything it's like way down past that
20:52
but within eye
20:57
view
21:07
we're going to wait to get the word from
21:09
our top
21:57
last
21:59
6
22:14
7ow holy boy that is so
22:14
loud that thing's a
22:46
2
22:46
49
22:48
165 7.8
22:51
seconds to go
23:10
I'm going to start making my way around
23:10
to the other side which was the side I
23:13
parked at also bleachers over there get
23:15
a different
23:35
take a look at that there's like a
23:35
minivan over
23:58
elide going up against theavy
23:59
keep
24:07
inless I have hard evidence to to back
24:08
it up I will normally tell you this is
24:09
what I'm guessing just based on my
24:11
experiences
24:56
up
25:26
trans either way something d g away
25:26
unfortunately
25:28
that's not wanted to start first
25:31
here we will see
25:34
if
25:49
hope got that classic over there this is
25:49
kind of a totally different Clash of the
25:52
matchups between both these vehicles
25:55
different
25:56
styles
26:24
oh I think the classic took it
26:24
did
26:26
10.2
26:37
think you hate it now way do you drive
26:37
it I like all these station wagons that
26:40
are in
26:41
here look at this one deck here
26:45
classic all right let's go
26:48
Griswald
26:50
woo
26:59
oh all right all right dang it
26:59
he saved it he going to go right into
27:01
the freaking
27:07
wall how he saved that from hitting the
27:07
walls
27:09
oh holy
27:24
crap man that was uh I am shocked he did
27:24
not embed that thing into the side of
27:25
the concrete wall
27:28
prob
27:45
something for just a minute while we
27:45
assess the
27:47
situation that was pretty intense almost
27:51
hit that other vehicle and he kept it
27:52
away from the wall though could end it
27:55
pretty
27:56
badly I think with that I'm going to
27:58
start heading out I have seen some some
28:01
exciting racing this is pretty cool
28:03
event I guess it goes on all
28:07
week after today the drivers will go
28:10
over to the next town next city then it
28:13
even goes out of
28:14
state so all these
28:17
vehicles that have been racing in the
28:19
drag race are all have to be street
28:21
legal that's I guess that's one of the
28:23
stipulations for this particular one and
28:25
that's going to do it for today I think
28:26
I'll probably go to more types of these
28:28
events trying to kind of peppermint
28:30
stuff I've never done before I have done
28:32
a lot of classic cars and things like
28:33
that you know car events like I've gone
28:35
to Oldtown and different car cruises and
28:38
other car shows Bob's Big Boy car show
28:41
things like that in Burbank but I've
28:42
never been to one where the classic cars
28:44
are racing pretty fun all right I'll see
28:47
you in the next video thanks for
28:48
watching the Vlog is over and I might
28:51
have to come back out for that Figure 8
28:54
school bus race whenever they do that
28:58
if they still do it I think they still
28:59
do
29:01
it they might still do
