To say that we are Les Mayhew groupies around here would be an understatement. This kid has been making videos for several years now, for no other reason than the same devout passion for Nostalgia Drag Racing that we have here at BangShift, and that makes him super bitchin in our book. I first watched this video a few days ago when it first went live and thought I was going to lose my mind. Brian watched it and thought the same thing. I waited to post it so I could watch it again and see if I was any less excited. I’m not. Brian’s comment that this is NFL FIlms style of film making is gospel.
I know that serious drag racing fans, media, and industry heavy hitters all agree that Les Mayhew is a kid who’s passion comes through and who hasn’t even gotten started in his career in comparison to where he will go. I say “will” because there is no option for failure here. I can confidently say that at some point in his career, and quite possibly not that far in the future, Les Mayhew will be regarded as the best Drag Racing Filmmaker ever.

Awesome, Awesome, AWESOME !!!!
usually hate added music over car music . but this is the best stuff every time . if you could never go to a track but wanted to experience what its like I’d recommend Mayhew’s art every freakin time.
great video, music sucks, alcohol, nitro makes much better music
wicked! I kept expecting a John Madden or Pat Summerall voice-over to kick in lol
This video is freaking awesome. Great editing. Good music. A+.
Les is thee man!!! I work in world renouned fine art gallery and none of the vastly over priced crap I hang on it’s walls comes close to this! What Les does is real art!!! None of my coworkers are gear heads, so my job is safe.
WOW !!! Just WOW !!! This is the best put together short film on nostalgia drag racing I have ever seen, or heard. I knew it was going to be good when about 45 seconds in I could hear Steve Evans voice.
In my opinion Les is already the best drag racing film maker in the industry. I agree with Crazy Canuck in that I usually don’t like music over the sound of nitro cackle, but Les has a way of making it work. So, I readily admit I’m fully onboard with Chad and Brian in being a member of the Les Mayhew Vids fan club!
Les nailed it again!
Without a doubt, this crew makes THE best drag racing vids around. My compliments to the chef….Keep up the great work and posting it on BS…..
