Look up a stock 40's Fiat image, their hideous.

You should familiarize yourself with the class before you start crying foul. Out of all the current Camaros, only one runs an engine larger than 350ci, and it’s only 363ci. Mopar runs the 354 Hemi and the Ford camp does not run the 5.4L, they run the dual overhead cam Coyote motor, which is an advantage the Mopars and Chevy don’t have. This was at the Las Vegas race two weeks ago so current setups.

@@croozin2 I don't know what you are reading. I read the rule book. So before you start, ask a question. My comment stands. Plus, I also spoke personally to some who are in the class. You better tell them they got it wrong. And Bro the 5.4 is a DOHC.

Factory X could have been the class to save the NHRA, not! Why, they already have stacked the deck. Ford and Mopar run 1 kind of supercharger, while the CLOPO runs a different one. Mopar and GM run the BB 427 7 liter, Ford runs the 5.4 liter. Ford was made to run a supercharger and switch from the turbo set up. NHRA has lost almost 2/3 of their fans for favoring certain teams and Brands. Guess they haven't learned much, I quit going 20 years ago.

Thankyou for the comments. Its not bad. Always room for improvement. haha

Thankyou. You keep up the good work also.

Its good to watch both versions although I do prefer the 60s early 70s ones. The longer wheelbases were around in the mid 70s onwards which are still cool.

Looks like their will be more cars that are/being built.

I do prefer the vintage style fuel altered. Some decent ones being built at the moment/recently. Pure Hell was running 5s a while back and still looked to have more left!!

Yup long wheel bases so huge difference in the way it handles..old school short wb altered will always be a crowd favorite..like 1/4 mile racing..I dont keep up with or go to races anymore because of the 1,000 foot bs..

People, teams on a budget make the show fun and exciting. The deep pocket guys drive the low buck budget guys out and lobby for rule changes to make changes to change the cars go faster but also increase the cost This is why the best years of nostalgia were the begining years. Nothing wrong with a fuel car then running 6.50 - 7 second times with updated safety requirements but keeping with the 60' 70's look and spirit including the CHOICE to wear a breather mask like many did. Look at a AA/FD from 1990-2005 and now. With the slower times came affordability until the abominations crept in and took over. Now it's big show wannabees that have brought in computers and high tech modern B S......😡

Quite a few 335mph runs over the event.

I think they are running 5.20s/30s over there. I agree its a great form of nostalgia racing. They have got them running quick. Up to 280mph!

@@fastracingandhotrods6891 Didn't realize they were running that quick and that fast in Australia ! That is cool. Love to see that here in the states.

@@ScottCole-sb8fy I don't know the exact numbers but think they have run near those times.

@@fastracingandhotrods6891 Not just trying to be critical, but the 21 gallon nostalgia funnies here in the U.S.A. are boring. No smoky burnouts, no header flames, no thunder etc.

​@@ScottCole-sb8fyI know what you mean. Australian style rules where they could run quicker. A traditional funnycar category would be good with no wind tunnel type bodies allowed also.

Definitely was a great event. Decent turn out of cars.

Racing should be good!

This true but most people consider the roadsters as altered

Entertaining racing!

Thank you. I think it came out quite well. No tripod was used I was just holding a camera.

Its great. What would make it even better for me is if the rules stated the Funnycars had to run period correct bodies from the 1960s/70s with small adjustments only. I agree, the modern racing has gone past the realms of reality. I think these still are expensive but nothing like the Big Show.

Nitro fuel Altereds oh Yeah.

That would be a great part of the show. Best burnout!

​@@fastracingandhotrods6891 When we were kids an would go to OCIR and Irwindale the burnouts were half the show. They would absolutely fry the tires and it seemed like they went halfway down the track. If there was no wind the smoke would be so thick the cars had to wait for it to clear before they could back up cus they couldn't see anything. I think in this day and age of drifting Nitro burnouts would be a big draw. Course thats easy for me to say cus i have absolutely no clue what it takes to run a nitro outfit.

@@williambarry8015 Definitely would draw in the crowds. The heydays are the era I look up to. It needs to go back to the roots. Although it was on a run I remember Pure Hell a few years ago boiling the tyres and still running over 200mph! What a show that was and later running a 5 second run later. Heads up racing in Fuel Altered would be awesome based on the Late 60s/Early 70s era.

I always harken back to these cars doing fire burnouts. Extremely dangerous but man it sure looked cool. I had a poster of an altered doing one on my BR wall back around 1970.

Reminds me of old Pro Mod over in Europe 20/25 years ago. Thank you. I should be putting more on soon.
