@@DragFiles that’s my uncle that’s why I’m laughing

Good eye, They've been extended to the minimum wheelbase for Nostalgia Nitro Funny Car I believe to comply with NHRA standards. (KN)

I'll keep that in mind over the season/offseason, thanks for checking it out. (KN)

@@DragFiles Lovely compilation regardless.

Might be right, I know Bruce and Clay 1st raced in the final in 2003. Bruce got him there. I'll have to go back through the footage but I think that was the final in '05 with Clay getting the win, yes. (KN)

@@DragFiles back then, the IHRA was bringing in 16 top fuel and 16 funny cars to our little event and now the NHRA can maybe get four in each class. For that reason, I miss the IHRA

@@patk8417 The IHRA when it was run by the Baders out of Norwalk was amazing. i know that the total car count (Brackets, pros etc.) at the 2007 Rockies was more than the NHRA had in Denver the same weekend. I do miss them too. Great people. (KN)

CORRECTION: Doug Foley fell to Clay in the final in '05. Not Bruce Litton. (KN)

🤣😂It kinda does doesn't it on second look. Basically all the '04 AHRA World Finals footage on the channel was off of Big Jim's 8mm handicam originally, that was then dubbed from a SP VHS tape. Completely not my intent but it's just how it turned out, and the moment is so weird that it had to be posted so you get it as is. lol Thanks man, made my day. 😂(KN)

Amazing, also a good reason to listen to people when they say "maybe move your car." Might be a picture of it somewhere but it hasn't surfaced yet. Great story! (KN)

#JustSendIt (KN)

Yeah he admitted over the PA afterwards that that was the 1st major engine issue he's had during that time. The good news is the new car is almost done and should be making it's debut this summer sometime. Hopefully he and the team make the trip back up to Edmonton so we can check it out in person. (KN)

Gotta make cash somehow dude, Trips to Cali from Canada don't pay for themselves. Plus it helps support the channel, thanks for watching :) (KN)

Thank you and I shall! Stay tuned :) (KN)

True, safety factor would probably be the main reasons for the current shape of the class. No way a period correct car would be allowed on a sanctioned strip in 2024. As for the streamlining, sounds like those concerns should be taken to the sanctioning bodies, (Pro Mod went through the same growing pains) thanks for checking out the video! (KN)

@@DragFiles A mid 70's thru early 80's funny car could easily be up to current safety specs. My point is short wheelbase cars of that era with period correct bodies. And no computers! This is the guys with the deep pockets lobbing for rules changes to put speed and performance before period correctness....the same thing goes for nostalgia top fuel....and you can include fuel altereds I'm not the only one with this sentiment.....look at Brendan Murrays dragster and you tell me why his car is legal but looks the part and why his car and, less than a handful of others are the exception......

@@halseyknox Well yeah, that's the argument right. if it's nostalgia keep it so. I'm just saying that any period correct car would have some sort of safety upgrading done to it if it were to make a full tilt pass down the track. Great points though. And yes, I agree that the aero stuff has to be curtailed going forward. Sorry if that wasn't clear above, lol. (KN)

I'm not trying to give you a hard time but look up the ANA races at Bakersfield in the late 90's early 2000's and how the vibe then has changed into the transformer cars of today. A perfect example of the funny car comment is "The Tiki Warrior" and "Zues".....those cars look the part and look up the burnouts these two have done in the past! So much for current tire technology not allowing such burnouts. There is no reason that the Kacklefest cars can't be the "pallete" for what nostalgia top fuel should be. That's what the early hot rod reunions were all about including breather masks. Funny car guys were wearing them into the late 80's early 90's and nostalgia top fuel guys were wearing them including Jim Murphy until rule changes upt the ante with higher speeds and perfomance that got the nhra's attention to where they banned them.....sorry if I sound like sour grapes but if I wanted to see mid 5 second runs or quicker by computer cars with throttle stops I be watching and a fan of the modern era which I am definitely NOT

@@halseyknox Thanks for the feedback and checking out the video. (KN)

Part of the reason why I dig the Legends Nitro Funny Car/Nostalgia Nitro Funny Car series. Basically the same et's and speeds. (would love to see a few more hops but their's Funny Car Chaos for that., lol) Thanks for checking out the video! (KN)

Turn er up!!! (KN)

Some wild looking cars in the WCPM ranks for sure. (KN)

Hope your Christmas was a good one! Still got some goodies coming so stay tuned!!! (KN)

No prob, stay tuned, more to come for sure! (KN)

Thanks for asking Frank! I have a custom built HF R600 from Canon of Canada, It looks just like the consumer model but I had my guys at a place called Vistek here in Edmonton Canada trick it out a bit. I also shot some stuff on a Apple iPhone 14 Pro Series too whilst down there in so cal (The Mooneyes shop tour video and a couple that are upcoming are all 100% shot on the IPhone 14 Pro.) (KN)

@@DragFiles keep up the good work 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@frank-xp6pj Thank you! Stay tuned, more to come :)

Yessir! cant confirm about the candies but I did get some Brad Anderson Engineering decals to take home for the garage from the pits. (KN)

Thanks! More to come from that event so stay tuned! (KN)

Ah yes, cool stuff. I could feel the history down there for sure. (KN)

Yeah, 20+ year old games do have that special kind oi jankyness to em. Id try a wheel or a controller and see if you have the same issues. That's the best I've got. (KN)

Thank you for the view! I enjoyed myself, quite the place. (KN)

Most epic, bucket list trip for sure (KN)

Likewise! Thanks for the help and advice this past weekend too, much appreciated! (KN)

Neat! yeah they are a great bunch of guys and gals. (KN)

Spot on, yup! (KN)

Were they aloud to use nhra nitro percentage? And overdrive?

oh MILES better. Hell I'd take the early IHRA/Bethesda builds over that piece of shovel ware, lol. (KN)

You know, it may have already happened. Or at least someone may have done an AMC body in Pro Mod at some time, somewhere. I'm curious so i'll look into it, lol. (KN)

@@DragFiles And a Ford Edsel!🤪

@@pistachiopoptarts well, let's not get that far. lol (KN)

Oh the GTO, yeah. The whole rat rod thing isn't really up my alley either but it's a style and I have mad respect for it. (KN)

Yeah, he flipped it earlier this year and they put it back together in time for all of the summer races in Western Canada. I think the plan is to get it fixed further over the winter and it'll return in '24 (KN)

Basically, the actual site of Shepard/CIR is now a flying J truck stop, Race City was built a little to the south east. Still in Shepard though. (KN)

Simple answer, no. Complicated answer, it's complicated. lol (KN)
