Dave has had a few wild rides in that altered. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony

All part of Karl's routine. More videos on my channel of these two cars. Nostalgia drags are on in less than a month, hopefully both these cars will lining up again. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

Thanks for your comment, more videos from this meeting on my channel. Sadly I didn't get down this year because of a funeral in Johnsonville. Thanks for watching and commenting, also to Lance for the share, Anthony.

It is something that Karl Boniface does before staging. Other videos of him on my channel show him doing this. I asked him about it and he said it was "to bed in the clutches' Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

DRAGWAY 42, THAT WAS MY INTRODUCTION TO DRAG RACINGTHAT STRIP ON A HILL.. MY DAD TOOK ME THERE TO SEE WILD BILL SHREYSBURRY IN HIS WHELLIE DART. RACING THE LIL RED WAGON WHAT PRICLESS MEMORIES,''THANK YOU FOR WRITING ABOUT 42 I SURE DO THOSE DAYS, HAVE A GREAT DAY SKIP

@@skipbanks4fun100 I miss them to

@@anthony851 while "bed in the clutches" sounds reasonable, I just love the sound of this technique.

miniac91 same for me but was Niagara Dragway in Niagara Falls NY.

Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony

Yeah, With fully opened butterflies 👍👍👍

Karl has owned and raced the car for several years. More videos of both these cars on my channel. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

No injuries and the car has been repaired. Looking forward to seeing it run on April 6 at the Nostalgia Drags again. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

@@anthony851 did he bend his wheelie bars? I thought the bars were supposed to prevent wheelstands.

Any videos of your Nova out there? Nostalgia drags on this weekend and we are going down for them. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

I must have a look at my later videos to see if Dave has changed his set up. We will be back down at Meremere mid February for the Door Slammers meeting and then the Nostalgias in April. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

Have a look at the other videos on my channel of this car, Dave has had some wild rides and is the holder of the NZ record for Fuel Altereds. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

Nothing ambiguous about your comment. More videos of these two cars on my channel. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony

I didn't realize they weren't run in the States. Those short wheelbase altereds give a hairy ride. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony

anthony851 they run maybe at special events but not in the National NHRA events with Top Fuel , Funny Cars and ProSock Cars . Probably safety concerns. However that was my point if they alter the rules like longer wheelbase and proper wheelie bars making them more manageable they would be a great addition to the lineup .

Karl Boniface has dipped into the 6's but I can't tell you exactly how far. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

Both these cars will be back at Meremere for the 2019 Nostalgia Drags and we will be going down as well. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

@@anthony851 Gotta Love The old Hotrods.. Kool Before There Was A Kool ....Old Camaro Looked Mighty Fine Too..

Catching the cars that don't stop in time maybe a recipe for disaster! Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

Safety Crew, Jax.

Nitro-methane makes fantastic noise when fed into a large V8 at vast quantities. You can find more nitro powered cars on my channel. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

Yes, Dave was setting back rather smartly! Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony

Severely handicapped with a short wheelbase altered! Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

I have spoken to Karl Boniface about the bunny hops, it is done so that the clutch plates bed in. The Fuel Altered is running a Powerglide. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

Boninfante.........Not trying to be a spellcheck dick....Just not sure how he would feel about being called Boni Face :-)

I have seen Dave have some wild rides in this car, but this was the wildest. I'm sure staining would be a product of the ride. Thanks for watching, liking and commenting, Anthony.

@@anthony851 Thanks for the reply anthony. I should admit that if I was the one driving that and had it shoot up as suddenly and as high as that, I'm pretty certain I'd have to walk away from the car backwards so nobody would see the stains at the back of my pants. That was a very "puckered butt" situation lol.

Shiftube.... I always ran Wheelie Bars on my FED's, after I nearly had a total blow-over and wrecked the chassis, back in the 70s, because "wheelie bars" were for sissie's... so they said! From there, on out I ran them, but I set them so that the front end would only lift about 5" on the hit, which forced the slicks to really dig in and bite hard... and lowered my et's because when you're riding up on the ring gear, you're losing forward movement... am a firm believer in the bars, at least for FED's... which is all I ever owned and raced.

He got traction, maybe just a few more percent than required. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

They would still be a RUSH to drive though !!!!

Dave talking about his car, his previous car had 96 inch and this is 112 inch wheelbase. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hK9dnq173b2bYZs.html Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony

You are dead right there, it could have been much worse! Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony

Tx Rick that's what I thought but look at the photo. The torque lifted entire car (including back tires) clear off the track! Wheelie bars held just torqued up so fast dude was ridin' on the wheelie bar rollers for a ways! Amazingly serious traction!

We leave the proofreading to the folk watching. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

Yeah. Thanks for confirming what I suspected.

@@recentlychanged people with half an education can read it just fine

Did the track appear to be a bit slick to you? It seems that Dave got lots of traction! Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

@@anthony851 welcome....and no, I was joking about how many yellow shirts were being worn.

Meremere Dragway, NZ. North of Hamilton in the Waikato. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

@@anthony851 Thank you. Good racing. Wish I could come join you!

Dave will be racing his car at the Nostalgia Drags on 6 April. If I see him I will pass your comment on. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

Tell him its from one sump crusher to another, no frame bent on mine but smashed the headers (used compressed air and a torch and they were fine), engine pan, shocks etc. www.lemonsheaders.com/customers/gavle.htm

I must compare the wheelie bar height in this video with subsequent videos of Dave's car. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

I think that Dave Gauld dodged a bullet with this run. More successful passes on my channel. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony

Matt cat John Force and Dean Skuza style 👍

I don't know about being punished, but drag racing can convert large piles of cash into smoke, noise and speed! Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony

as a former drag racer and stock car owner we did it for fun.talent against talent

So is drinking

Maybe you are distracted by the total disregard for the peoples will by the political classes. The wheelstand bent the wheelie bar causing the front wheels to go higher than wished and when the wheels came down the chassis was bent and the sump hit the ground. The car has been repaired and has been raced again. April 6 Dave and his car will be back at Meremere for the 2019 Nostalgia Drags. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

I'll try to explain; massive automotive hemispherical head internal combustion engines powered by rocket fuel producing somewhere on the order of 8,000 hp,.....each,.......shake the very ground beneath you and can be heard for miles away whilst perfuming the air with explosive force. If you still don't get it, I really can't help you.

I have a playlist called 'fuel'. You should check it out if you're at all interested in discovering what makes fuel racing so interesting.

@@chrishamilton2559 Hi Chris, l think l was expecting a spectacular crash or a grenaded engine. I now realise that it was an expensive but very brief run. Not all racers have a bottomless pit of cash to seek their enjoyment. Many thanks for your imput. Regards John

Are you referring to the tube chassis of the Altered? Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

Not the only things that were damaged, the chassis was bent and Dave's pride also took a hit. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony

Dude definitely had skid marks on his skivvies.

It doesn’t have suspension.. the wheelie bar broke.

Nitro powered cars are about all the senses, sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. They would add to the sight. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.

I'm sure that if I was behind the wheel it would have been a big deal! Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony

Your comment is vague, I'm unsure what is the waste you mention.

The total video length is 2:41so I can't understand where the 3 minutes comes from! I would think you have wasted more time on KZfaq than with this video, there is some absolute crap out there. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony

A bent tube chassis is a funny nothing. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anthony.
