What a horrible race this was very disappointing that left lane sucked all day long gatornationals usually is the best race of the Year this was horrible,
Great video pics...nothing like top fuel funny cars...but....with that being sad, for ALL of US who are jaded & disenchanted with modern day NHRA & NASCAR, please check out SEGA (Southeast Gassers Assoc) - they adhere to the 1967 NHRA handbook ( as much as possible)...all body styles must be from 67' or older...all cars must use a 4 speed & clutch - NO automatics allowed...they honor our military before Prayer & the National Anthem 🇺🇸 🙏 🏁 ✌
Who is going to be the one to tell Jim Dunn walkers are not a good idea on the starting line. I appreciate his enthusiasm but safety may become an issue.
I've noticed not alot of spectators . what's really happening now is street outlaws NPK it's always jam packed . Even locals no prep racing in small towns dragstrip has more spectators than this it's kinda sad if you think about it.
How boring. Slow these FC's down to 300 mph. Go back to the quarter mile and smoky burnouts. Make the bodies look more identifiable, relatable and entertaining for the spectators. Have some business sense, guts, and make some positive changes to the sport. I live 35 minutes from Pomona and stopped going to the drags 20+ years ago. Alot of my friends have stopped going as well.
I agree. I still love it but I think the sponsors have too much control over the sport. It's almost like a big infomercial. They don't do long burnouts anymore, the last time there was a burndown the crowd was going wild and the starter disqualified them. They hardly ever race at night. Also the pros are so busy plugging sponsors that you don't ever really see the driver... except john force. LOL
🙄 if you quit going 20 yrs ago then it wasnt for any of the reasons you mentioned and there not a single person that would suddenly start going to see them go 300 ft farther but slower ,
