If you haven’t seen Southeast Gassers drag racing before, you are missing out in a big big way. This is some of the most fun drag racing you can find, and that’s because it is all heads up, stick shift, wheels up racing that looks like the good old days. The cars have names, the girls are dressed the part on the starting line, and everyone is after a good time. These races get packed full of spectators and racers alike, so they are always a good time. Check out the action that our friend Tommy Lee Byrd captured from Brainerd.

Video Description:

It’s been several years since the Southeast Gassers Association raced at my home track, Brainerd Motorsports Park, but they returned as the season opening race in 2024. This event was PACKED with people…they were bussing them in from surrounding parking areas and squeezing into the stands to watch heads up, real deal gassers do battle on the historic drag strip. The action was wild with lots of wheels up launches, and crazy runs. As usual, I was splitting my time, shooting photos for a magazine coverage, and taking video when I had the chance.

This video certainly doesn’t cover ALL of the highlights from the Southeast Gassers Association return to Brainerd, so stay tuned as more coverage comes out from PowerTubeTV and the Southeast Gassers Youtube channel. This is 12 minutes of RAW action from the 2024 season opener.
