It's too bad NHRA doesn't post qualifying on RU-vid before the race . It's good for the sponsors but you see so many more things . A lot of people would rather watch RU-vid then watch television .
Thank you Stewart Bennett , I’m trying to add another wrinkle in my videos & hopefully I will be able to do that at the Winternationals in February 🤞 🙏
BIGBLOCKJOE1 Thank you, I’m trying to bring the races to the fans who couldn’t attend for whatever reason, I think I’m getting close but I need to put my other ideas into action. 🙏🙂
I've been binge watching your uploads for the past week,and gonna say it again - Frank,you are the man when it comes to NHRA coverage ! But this is awesome,and really loved the close ups you were getting on that "Little City Charger", I've been following that team for a few seasons now,but that metalflake Charger they have now has to be their best yet. Look forward to all your coverage this year bro.
Appreciate your support & the fact you enjoy these videos my brother, it gives me drive to keep trying to do better 🙏🙏 yeah personally the first time I saw that Little City Charger funnycar was at the finals in LasVegas the previous year…however despite having a pretty good camera it still didn’t capture the metal flake paintjob in it’s true glory….I will try to get some pit video of it in Pomona next month at the Winternationals. I’m looking forward to the other side grandstand being open….I prefer that side because it’s actually closer to the track.Stay tuned for better footage next month Rob & I will get more Nitro pit coverage as well 👍🙂
Gotta suck running with the sun dead in your eyes. Great coverage though man. Top shelf. Whatever camera your using is clear as I've ever seen. Well done.🇺🇸💪👍
Awesome , love the sound but like nascar all the FC are rolling billboards and you can’t tell them apart , lost interest in how they look many moons ago but the sound OMG awesome , Thanks Frank 4434
I stopped watching NHRA in late '80's , but this was great ! Missed who was driving what machine only caught a few I did know. It has changed so much since the 1960's that it's unreal.
Oh and you hard Tony Stewart is a team owner now ,Leah is his driver, I’m not sure who’s the car owner might be Don still , nice ,big things moving, thanks BigAl
Not sure what was up with attendance at Pomona at both the Winternationals and Finals this year. Stands on the far side of the track never opened. Shame because it’s great sitting over there. Thanks for the videos.
Yes the LA county wouldn’t allow the spectators side stands to open, while at the finals an official told me that if it were to open it would increase attendance to the point that spectators would have to show Covid vaccinations cards & show a recent COVID-19 negative test in order to attend.Thanks for watching 👍🙏
This may seem like a dumb question. On the top fuel rail cars, the guys rubbing the back wheels, what are they doing? I've seen it for years but have never heard what the purpose of it is.
Not ar all !!! When the car does a burnout small bits of rubber fly off . In order to not spin the tires on the bits of rubber, the crew wipes it off on the way to the line !! With a funny car ,the rubber is thrown into the wheel well on the tin . It gets to a point where it needs to be scraped off , adds weight and is a fire concern. I know this because I cleaned up the rubber off Whit Bazemore funny car in 1996 😁😁😁😀😀😀🚘🚘🍺🍺
Love the footage man, really great stuff, YT finally recommends something good. But lol, Densham's crew chief, shut her off dude!. Densham's like damn, I did but it won't die!!!!
Was the darrell Gwynn setting in a wheelchair, or some one else. Lol I love the shorts on the beautiful ladies in this vlog, nice good racing, thanks BigAl California.
Al while at the track I was thinking the same thing BUT the announcer never said anything about it, I was thinking if it was Darrell Gwynn then the announcer would have given him a shoutout….it still could be him. I gotta check his Facebook maybe that will tell it. 👍
To say tht funny cars cant be told apart because of the advertising is just wrong. Yes they do have a lot of ads on them, I totally agree that one of the best parts of a funny car is their sound and also the speed they run nowadays... 300mph plus for a quarter mile... wow..
You're right Steve Harrigan. Meanwhile, you'll be running 13s in your small block cause nostalgia, getting beat by 6 year olds in their junior dragsters. Maybe if you're nice Steve, they'll give you an autograph when you finally make it to the timing shack.
Great footage. but Got damn these ass holes who stand up and block everyones view are some damn selfish. If you didn't wanna seat why'd you pay for one?! Many times I've called people out for doing that. If you stand up you block the view of those behind you, then they stand up so they can see, then those behind them as so on. Meaning the people at the end closest to the start line end up being able to see jack shit for the second half of the run apart from the back of peoples heads. If everyone stays in their seats.. everyone can see everything.
Your so right , I tried studying the seat chart to get the best possible seats but most often a lot of footage gets ruined because of people standing up. I think in February at the Winternationals I’m gonna shoot some video from the fence , just a little because the concrete barriers hide most of the car nearest you. Some tracks are better to film at because of the grandstand layout & where it sits in relation to the track, others are horrible for filming. My personal favorite would be Sonoma on the tower side but on the fence ….unfortunately sitting at the fence is only for the handicap so that’s cool.
I like them too BUT I don’t like 1/8th mile racing as much as 1/4mile racing…NHRA National events have the best in my opinion & some events feature the fastest door slammers in Dragracing ( Promodified )
