BAKERSFIELD 2024 - FULL FUNNY CAR ELIMINATIONS

#PEAKsquad #peakpitnote #DragRacingNews #MarchMeet
It's hard for some to believe, but it's the truth. On Sunday in Bakersfield, CA., during the most prestigious nostalgia event, the March Meet, Cory Lee, a decorated veteran in drag racing, finally won his first national event. He did so as a driver behind the wheel of Gary Turner's Challenger Funny Car.
"I've had, I think, two or three as a tuner, but this is my first as a tuner driver, so it's really exciting," Lee said.
Lee was joined in the Famoso Dragstrip winner's circle by Tyler Hester (Top Fuel) and Lyle Greenberg (Fuel Altered).
FULL EVENT REPORT - competitionplu...
Lee bought Jeff Arend in a battle of drivers with plenty of experience racing on the NHRA's Mission Foods Drag Racing Series. Arend was first off the land, but the lead was short-lived as his 5.658 elapsed time at 260 miles per hour quickly gobbled up Arend's 5.829.

Great video ! Others at NHRA and Flo Racing could take some tips from Les about how filming should be done.

Brave camera guy!

Love that red white and black firebird. Camaros all look super stretched and skirted not so nostalgia. Congrats to winners.

I love these nostalgia funnies. Do they use any modern electronics and computers? They seem to be running a bit quicker and faster than "back in the day"
