Continued: Rods, 13.3 to 1 in a front digger. He raced Big Daddy Don Garlits back in the day. Remember watching TV Tommy Ivo in his four engine Buick nail head four wheel drive car. It was a great time in Racing innovation & history. Thanks for Memories! Keep it coming!

I've been going to drag racing events since 1970. I went to elementary school in Pomona , when the winter Nationals were going on we could hear the cars..when I go to vintage events the start the T/F cars on alcohol then switch to nitro..when they push started T/F car back in the day did they start them on nitro? or have a way to start em with alcohol first?

That’s a great piece of video. I was around to witness the evolution of Top Fuel and Funny Cars during the sixties. The quest for speed and desire for victory was and still is an awesome endeavor. Balls of steel for real 🏁.

@@69JANKS …. Will do JANKS. I started helping out in my oldest brothers Ford specialized speed shop during the early sixties when I was only 10 so I have plenty of memories from growing up at drag strips across the Southeast U.S. I also have a few vintage photos but don’t think it’s possible to post them in my replies to your extraordinary collection of awesome memories Seeing the twin engine fueler in your video reminds me of another great one. “TV” Tommy Ivo ran a four engine fuel dragster during the sixties. It has four Buick small block engines and four wheel drive. It looks wicked with four huge drag slicks on all four corners and when all four engines would cackle to life, the sound was truly amazing. Just like the typical fuelers of the sixties, it would smoke all four tires for the entire quarter mile run. I last saw him doing exhibition runs back in the eighties. His nickname is “TV” because of his acting career doing TV sitcoms during the sixties. I don’t know if he’s still around but you could google his name and get some great photos of his many different fuelers over the decades. Good stuff for real 👍

Well I remember those times and have the picture to prove it. I use to own John Mella's Buick nail head dragster engine. It hilborn stack fuel injection front pump drive. Isky solid roller, Jahns or Venolia pistons on custom made aluminum
