Use the best goddam heads you can afford. Go Clevsor

Well I'll have to watch this after the fact cause I'm working

Dallas, 14 ohms in parallel with 14 ohms is 7 ohms, not 14.

Great stuff! I really appreciate the pics you're posting of the cars you're discussing:)

Hey Suckers and Dallas and all the rest of you good people. I missed the live but watched it at Midnight. PAW, i ordered double pumpers and a Cam Dynamics sludge for my first ever engine build. Clevland of course. Rude South of the border guy on the phone. I was worried about rejetting my 650 VRS's for a tunnel ram but it seems that is not needed. It not Andy's engine but it should/ better make 500. Wish i was at the live but I drove 330 miles to get a Tremec 6 speed for my Fairlane. Great kit, from Mal Wood. Nice guy, said he even sends stuff over to the States! Catch yous next week. Cheers.

Dallas I love he G-force idea I have a G-101 in my car I absolutely love it + it don’t take as much HP to turn it compared to any slush box out there. Bone stock coyote in my notchback and it goes 6.31 @ 109 in the 1/8th.

Heya folks

Thanks guys!

I use solid lifters in my 392 hemi that is in my ski boat. for whats its worth

Sorry I missed the live

They do not use drum brakes on trucks anymore for a couple of years

We were out picking up a dead truck and it took longer than expected, so we missed this. Have to watch the rerun.

Love your covering John Lundberg. Was definitely the voice of drag racing.

The gasser and funny car stuff is cool but we need some coverage of the sportsman racers which are the backbone of the sport. Appreciate what your doing.

Good dudes!

Loved watching animal jim 👍

Maybe the California guys wanting to have a altered wheelbase car for street use was called Nutty. Maybe it could have been known as the nutty funny car. California based only. Originally

Love that 57 Ford

Best tech talk on YT.

You guys need a tip jar. I couldn’t find anywhere on here, to send a few bucks.

Bread and Circuses

I don’t think zinc is abrasive in oil even if it’s excessive. It’s a high pressure lubricant that simply increases oil film strength. But what do I know.

Lifters are not flat on the bottom. They are convex. If they are flat they will not rotate properly and they will fail. If you don't want to gamble just switch to roller lifters.

This should really be interesting .....

Watched later. Always fun.

Great thumbnail from Munsters Go bome. The Dragula. Funny movie.

'63 Special!!

I spent a lot of hours at the dragstrip with that car as a kid. My Mom was the blonde sitting on the hood of the goldfish, and my father was Gene Meyers. Wonderful memories.

If you come across anymore 3xl Founders T-Shirts, let me know! My order got refunded on eBay lol

Dammit missed it..playin catch up today..

AHRA for the win. #408, get your asses up to the northeast. I talked to a 'guy' at Lebanon Valley, he seemed pretty enthusiastic! ☆☆☆☆

AHRA till I die! Looking forward to it coming back in 2025. I'm still a member, and I try to buy as much stuff as I can from the eBay store. Going to do a large order tomorrow.

Great video I own a 1962 Mercury Comet A/G Gasser. Thanks for the history on the gassers. love the video

Watched ahra lots of weekends at smoking Alamo dragway

Just want to thank yous both, for a great show, as always

👍👍👍

I spent almost 2 years with the Commandos, while working in the brake lab at Chrysler Central Engineering in Highland Park. Most of the regulars like myself were Chrysler employees. I spent about 3 nights a week after work at Hamilton Motors working on the '65 altered wheel base car. I was there when Al Eckstrand became our driver, replacing John Dalifiore. I installed the first parachute on our car, which was needed when the front brakes were removed to shift weight to the rear.

The second intro

No intro needed

ah the classic 1/4 mile burnout ;) as i said to my buddy once... the promoter will give us good money for a hot smokey burnout. we don't get any extra for nuking the engine.

I worked at B and N fiberglass where the first 1966 all fiberglass Dodge dart was built including the body for Garlits car....The first bocy went to a guy named Len Silvers and the car was named Quicksilver...

Check out the Southeast coast gasser series they run sort of the -67 rulebook , imagine that with funnys and dragster (with just better saftey hoops etc but with some kind of 60 s rules and hard limits on fuelpumps and ignition, perhaps even only direct drive and no warmup burnouts just like the old days,, and we would love t see that show again , modern dragracing is simply put not fun anymore its gotten way to serious ,, and also i think stuff like the cool paint jobs just like the Gasser series mentioned people are missing these things today, people are sick of sponsor wrapped up milliondollar cars

the one's that "looked funny" (altered wheelbase)

Coca Cola Cavalcade was great ! Remember going from pit to pit for the warm ups , No hearing protection required. Had been around to different pits when I came to the Gold 71 Mustang, the LA Hooker . That car hurt my ears like no car before or since! Also the altereds that came through, Jonny West , Plan A , Ed Moore , The Mob when it was painted in the browns , cover over the cage ! These guys would help each other in order to make the show! Great times and shows !! Really not possible today with the cost and speeds of todays cars , maybe on long tracks but with the cost of track payouts wouldn’t be feasible! Coca Cola cars would work there way across the country booking tracks as they went ! WHAT A TIME ! As recently as 15 - 18 years ago there were booked AA/FA events but not like the Cavalcade Shows ! Great series guys!! Love the altered WB and EARLY 70s funnys! Car Craft had an issue , June 71 with new Funny’s on the cover .Somewhat stretched factory looking bodies, No skirts , small rear spoilers , cutouts in the windshield for injector scoops , two speed or direct drive !! Early Hemi , Late Hemi , BBC, Ford Boss or Cammers ! Don Long , Don Hardy, John Buttera , Race Car Engineering chassis’s ! Sprayed bodies with Hand lettering !! Really great paint schemes! Couldn’t pick Just ONE , but as a painter I loved the White Bear Dodge of Tom Hoover’s ! Thanks !
