This is incredible video quality. usually to watch something on You Tube this clear, l have to have it set to "720 pi" or more and let it buff for five minutes for every ten seconds of video. When that happens ' l give it up and go do something else. Totally takes the pleasure out of what l want to watch.

I wish everybody could have experienced what it was like in the 70s we had Jungle Jim and Pam the Blue Max Gene snow ramchargers Brutus Ed McCullough Don Prudhomme the snake Tom McEwen the mongoose too many to list. It was especially at night when they would run 100% Nitro and the Flames would go over the roof of the car. of course I'm speaking of Detroit Dragway I don't know how many other dragway's got away with 100% Nitro. 😄

Some thing a company like John Force racing or others should consider doing, incorepating a 60 or 70 muscle car funny car body onto one of thier modern up to todate funny car Chassis. Would definately be a welcomed fan boost from thier as i callem BUBBLE TOPPED bodies.

@GW H I know I'm just saying anything with a funnycar body you would expect to at least run high 5's on the 1/4mile....ESPECIALLY in today's racing world where you have fox body Mustangs with X275 tires that run 6's on the 1/4mile.
@frank-xp6pj5 жыл бұрын
@GW H yep true....only problem I have is that NHRA tries to slow the cars down too much...its dragracing & cars suppose to be fast & innovative....if teams find extra or more power it should be all about advancement in speeds BUT NHRA implemented EFI but removed the scoops & made them suck in the hottest air on track right at the bottom of the front grille & then they implemented a 10,500 rpm limit.....The 3 Pro classes should only have the weight rule, engine size ,normally aspirated ( Prostock )
@RSDX995 жыл бұрын
These are 60-70's era Funny cars not Top Fuel funny cars. They also don't have to rebuild the engines after every pass. Today's pro stock engines cost more than a complete Nostalgia car. Enjoy them for what they were without those cars back in the day there would be no 3 sec. Funny Cars today.
