Glory Days of Drag Racing! The Fuel Altered AA/FA! Part 1

The Fuel Altered. Lots of power and a short wheel base makes for a wild ride! Here’s some cool shots and some videos and instead of music I added some top fuel crackle! I hope y’all enjoy and there will be more.
Currently working on a line of funny car videos way to many funny cars for just one short video if you have any suggestions leave them in the comments!

Man, that last frame @2:28 of crankshaft salad under the car says it all. AA/FA - Baddest class in drag racing. Biggest balls of any drivers.

[@MoparMan1320]

These cars were a BIG part of my growing up years in So Cal. Each week I would call up Irwindale, Lions, and OCIR, to confirm my info from Drag News, etc. Just hearing Steve Evans on the track's outgoing message...."Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY"...was enough to make me beg my Dad to take me and my best friend to that weekend's races. And lucky for me...he did....and I drag race to this day. Thanks Pops!! ✌😎

[@ripemm5737]

I myself grew up with these cars ,my next door neighbor owned Pure Heaven 2.we probably seen each other at some of these tracks ,and yes I still drag race to this day.

Hey MoPar

God Bless Wild Willie Borsch and "The Winged Express"..........

[@ballisticintegrity9741]

It was a special day when my Dad bought Pit passes at Irwindale! I loved going to Lions and that place in the middle of nowhere OCIR lol

This was the most entertaining, exciting & pioneering period in drag racing, before computer technology stepped in👍🏆😎.

[@stevehammel2939]

Tire melting, supercharged, nitro guzzling, short wheel-based monsters were some of the most exciting racing back in the sixties

[@daryllect6659]

"Wild" Willie! You! One hand!

[@gregbennett4254]

Every Saturday night at Lions. What a great life in the 60 s for a 15 year old kid

[@IronheadGarage]

Such a badass video don't get any better than old school.

[@mgbchuck6527]

Saw pretty much ALL these altereds run through Fremont Drag Strip/Baylands a couple times a years, BEST shows EVER!

[@misigis]

Always a big fan of AA/FA. Mike Sullivan & of course Wild Willie. Didn't get to see them here on the east coast. Did see Willie's F/C with the rat motor.

[@JeffKopis]

Fuel Altereds, Factory Super Stockers, early Funny Cars, and gassers! Those were the days!

[@JeffKopis]

Wild Willie, Dave Hough, Rich Guasco....legends.

[@williammeszaros3382]

That was sweet! Got to see many aa/fa back in the day, Borsch at Fremont, most memorable....great sound track!

[@triffidgrower]

2min 16secs. Australian Jphn "Crazyman" Taylor...famed for his fire burnouts. In this instance, his goggles are still planted firmly on the helmet. 😄

[@shaunsiz.itsbetterbytube2858]

for driving a AA you must be certified being completely " insane " lol

[@tombrewsaugh1399]

Bring something like this to your local track today most kids would be totally amazed.

[@denisiwaszczuk1176]

GOLD

[@RandysFiftySevenChevy]

Only one missing was My Uncle driving "The Bad News Coupe" Topolino. "Bob Sidebotham"

[@draehnpipe67]

I’ll be sure to include it in part 2 lol

[@ctlt-pg4tm]

Anybody else see Wild Willie Borsch at Great Lakes Dragway in Union Grove Wi ?

[@mahoganyrushfan5688]

Fremont 4 Ever

[@jamesborden4805]

Dubbed idling didn't work for me!

[@The55nomad]

Just great. Thank you. As badass as the AA/FD slingshots were the fuel altereds seemed otherworldly and hallucinatory. Visions from a nitro fever dream.

[@markniilo]

The soundtrack is way out of sinc.

[@draehnpipe67]

Go make the video yourself then! I literally made most of these videos on my phone on lunch break at work they are not the best I just figured people who enjoy dragracing as much as I do would love it! Sorry it’s not up to your standards!

[@markniilo]

@@draehnpipe67 You want comments? You got em.

[@draehnpipe67]

You right lol maybe I’ll get it right on the next one
