Bradenton's History-Making Nitro Show - Friday Qualifying With Night Runs!

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Clay Millican and Rick Ware Team are.killing it!!!!!

[@LivingNitro]

so awesome!

[@Fueledpassionvideos]

As a Nitro junky and an all season drag head that visits multiple cities to get my fix, I truly appreciate your video with audio that lets us hear the true power of these machines. Flo racing seems to find that unnecessary in their video production and it’s truly a sad crime. Keep up the great work! Thank you!!

[@LivingNitro]

It’s tough to capture the audio. It is so loud it is maxing out the microphone. There were some runs with a crackle afterwards as the microphone recovered lol.

[@racecitypatriot66]

The audio amazes me. Great job on it.

[@Fueledpassionvideos]

@@LivingNitro exactly how it feels and sounds live! Leaves your body with a little crackle!!

[@floridarossi9111]

So glad this happened now!!!! This track will never be closed down do to new homes being built literally next street away! From the track west on rt64 hundreds of half million to million dollar homes being built. Also I live here, east of the track and Freedom Factory and love the noise!!!!!!!

[@Robert-ti5ku]

Don't bet on it - that's why Bandimere was closed down no matter what they say.

[@americangreensturf]

This will be my first ever drag racing event. I’ve been to Pikes Peak, Baja, Spa Francorchamps, Fiorano test track and all sorts of motorsports competitions - this is one I am honestly very excited to see. Bradenton with the fastest?!?! Bucket list getting checked tonight!!!!!

[@LivingNitro]

Hell yeah brother!

[@elvispresley6392]

If you are at about the 60ft. mark of the track, in the stands, not only will you see & hear what all the excitement is about. You will 100% feel what it's all about. Pretty much anywhere is quite the show. Don't miss out the pit crew access . . . ✌️😎

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Wear the ear protection that goes in your ear canal, underneath a pair of the best safety standards/OSHA earmuffs you can buy. You will need it. And, you'll absolutely love Fuelers.

[@americangreensturf]

I was in the stands next to the tower. Absolutely mind blown! I will 100% attend drag racing events going forward. I look forward to taking my family! That was downright exciting. Sheesh. @@LivingNitro

[@DarrenShaw-ev5tb]

The Quality of this Vid - Is FREAKIN Insane !! - Can almost SMELL it thru my laptop !!!!!! Thanx

[@wmolaski]

Gonna be a lot of happy neighbors soon! Congrats to Bradenton, this is HUGE!!!!

[@fredrikfarkas]

This video got the best sound i’ve come across to date! Big thanks for that!

[@LivingNitro]

I appreciate it, brother! I still don't think it does it justice.

[@rogal6661]

I've only been to one TopFuel etc NHRA event at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA. All I can say is that for the people that have seen these cars run in real life knows that the vibration, sound, and overall effects these cars have on your body is nothing short of amazing. You can feel sound almost "hitting" you. It totally reverberates through your body and feels like nothing else in the world. Truly really cool stuff. Great video.

[@LivingNitro]

Nitro dragsters or funny cars are something everybody needs to see in person at least once in their lives!

[@LoganPEade]

Just the essentials of each run one after another and the slow motion and still shots, all of it was very well done! Excellent presentation it just might be the best I've ever seen, very much appreciated! Thank you!

[@LivingNitro]

Thank you very much!

[@LivingNitro]

Thank you very much!

[@Bricklinsv1970]

Lots of clean runs what a great track!

[@LivingNitro]

Yes indeed!

[@paulpence8895]

If you're a Cleeter fan, and all his buddy's, etc... Congrats to Victor for bringing this venue!!! Ya, It sold out!!! BMSP,,, you the man Victor!!!! Watched a sht ton of killer vids from this event!!! Keep it going so when all those 4k new homes go up you and Cleet can sell for $$$Millions!!! and build new facilities... It will happen... no matter what the council said... Good vid bro!!!

[@LivingNitro]

Hell yeah brother!

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

This needs to become an 'Invitational' event, just the top cars, and no season points, just a big cash prize.

[@MNW-69]

It is

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

@@MNW-69 AWE-Some!!!

[@KHuntGaming]

tell me these style of events DONT MATTER! that last clip shows how much even these events MATTER TO THESE TEAMS!!!!

[@LivingNitro]

I love it when you can see winning matters!

[@michaelclanton1152]

Great video,still shots thank you

[@LivingNitro]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@robshane6634]

Grew up at this track in the late 80s and 90s when it was Desoto Speedway, im glad to see it still going strong 💪

[@chrismurphy8383]

Waaay too many people in start area - one day a blower is going to, well, blow, and people will be hurt by shrapnel ---- having said that, stunning sound and pics - nice job

[@thefunniestfarm4731]

I went to the Gatornationals in 1994 when I was almost 9, got to meet John Force (and his daughters), learned the joys of nitro, and stood maybe 15 feet from jet cars booming, fists in the air with no earplugs at the tree.

[@LivingNitro]

That’s a life experience right there!

[@rogal6661]

Surprised you can still hear. Those things gotta be tremendously loud, lol.

[@thefunniestfarm4731]

@@rogal6661Hanging out with Brittany Force for around 20 minutes while waiting for her dad to fire his engine up was well worth the wait. I was almost 9 and she is just a few months younger than me. She was so cute.... and still is.

Thank you so much Charlie Western PA😊🎉

[@morphman21]

History making INDEED.

[@Jonathan-L]

Great camera work L/N. I like to see more video from the top of the grandstand, so that the true speed of the cars is shown. Many thanks for this clip.

[@LivingNitro]

I love that perspective too! At BMP it is tricky as the light poles are between the track and the bleachers.

[@mgbchuck6527]

REALLY hoping the fans there appreciate the "GREATEST SHOW on EARTH" , blown/NITRO cars (why it's called "the BIG SHOW"!)

[@westcoasttails4860]

They need to play this video to prospective condo buyers before they purchase a home next to Bradenton!!

[@LivingNitro]

Haha!

[@PuFFerTV98368]

Hahahaha You could hear the cars interrupting Cleetus making videos at his shop.

[@julienieuwhof9113]

Amazing footage of unbelievable Nitro racing. Very jealous and am looking to getting to the US to see these types of meetings at some time

[@LivingNitro]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kevinbirmingham3863]

No that was a five star video absolutely one hundred percent

[@0tispunkm3y3r]

The slo-mo shot is absolutely wild.

[@LivingNitro]

They're crazy beasts!

[@richardvasquez8144]

Great job! 👏👏👏👏

[@nasosnasos8054]

Love

[@49ProRatStreet]

Very nice production, LOVE the sound quality. Please consider adding TAD with Angelle Sampe. Thanks

[@LivingNitro]

If we see her at a race we will!

[@Damascus..]

You know what would be a good idea. Put a housing development next to the track.

[@MNW-69]

Sad because we know what's coming. If anything they should have zoned it commercial but instead will have cookie cutter housing right up against BMP and the FF

[@Netbug]

Damn, look at the stands!

[@K-Effect]

9:23 This slow-mo shot looks and sounds cool

[@LivingNitro]

It shakes the phone's camera stabilization badly!!

Great photography! Zoom in the time boards a little more often. Subscribed...

[@keithmitchell1204]

I can smell it from Cincinnati!

[@bgd73]

wow. an odd thing, the ppg car at starting line, I noticed the speed of exhaust cone and knew it was lit... and so it was. incredible

[@Kevin-sg5xc]

Awesome camera work and sound. This might be best video that shows what these things truly sound like. How did this event pull all the nitro all stars? Will this happen again in 2025?

[@leonardfoster6252]

Track was really good on traction!

[@phuongcuaga1421]

Hello các bạn đam mê tốc độ..🇻🇳

Ron Capps team got that car Dialed. You know I think I enjoy these Pro Shootouts more than NHRA events. They feel more grassroots and not so commercialized.

Best Job Ever Done On Camara Work.....

[@LivingNitro]

I really appreciate that, thanks!

[@Eschelonistic]

All that is being destroyed within motorsport, this is the prime example of why it must be kept alive. So many people and so many invested in it. This is where the people and engineers get to test their theories and the world is their stage. To take that away will only make for one bad and flawed situation. These machines are borne of years of research and hard work. Not some "Woke" crowd that bought an off-the-plan house next to what the fuck they knew they were buying next to. Feel the Thunder and love it, or well find a new home.

[@LivingNitro]

Just like people who complain after moving in next to an airport!

[@MNW-69]

I agree. Also I think people need to recognize how corporate and controlling NHRA is. Just like the government, too big and too regulated

What was burning in the background? That was a lot of smoke.

[@LivingNitro]

They were doing some controlled burns in the state park nearby.

Yeah they were burning off some land nearby.

​@@LivingNitroLots of development in the area

[@49videofreak]

Once you see a night race you'll never want to see these cars race during the day ever again. I grew up where all the big races were at night then went to the US Nationals once and never went back because day racing to me just plain sucks.

[@LivingNitro]

There should be more night races.

Wht could we NOT see the times and speeds on the scoreboards?

[@LivingNitro]

Sorry about that. I was there primarily as a stills photographer and the video was recorded using my phone mounted on top of the camera. If you check out my final day video I used the app to add times. Let me know if that looks better.

[@stevenikitas8170]

Thumbs down on this video.... Why don't you zoom in on the scoreboard for each run? Otherwise it is not very interesting.

[@SantysEK]

Cause he's a photographer taking photos. This is probably filmed on a gopro on his head. What cropping of the video we see is the zooming in he can do. Plus the new light poles are in the way of the timing boards

[@LivingNitro]

I’m a stills photographer so this is with a phone positioned on top of my main camera. Doing my best and I appreciate you watching!

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

​@@LivingNitroKeep 'em coming, you ain't the only one of us with a phone mount on our hotshoe! Still are damn sharp, those frozen flames are crazy.

[@keithnichols7926]

This is how top-fuel is usually covered---one camera at the starting line. Success and failure happen a quarter mile away, but we usually see nothing from there and have no idea who won. A slo-mo camera at the finish line would seem mandatory or at least a voice-over announcement.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

@@keithnichols7926 That ain't right. I've counted 5 cameras used Live in a single pass on Top Fuel TV coverage, with most productions running at least 10 cameras - 2 roving for burnouts etc, fixed camera behind the cars, fixed camera on the gound around the 60 foot line. Usually one large camera on tripod high in the stand either side of the start line, at least one half track and two 3/4 track, plus a fixed camer looking across the track at the finish, and that's not including the reporter kits in the pits, or the on-boards. KZbin channels will often have only one camera, because there's only one person making the channel, if you want the secondary coverage of the channel of a Stills Photographer to be multicamera with slo-mo's and voice over, you're watching the wrong channel. But if you here for the Stills, you got spoiled.

[@markholroyde9412]

Great vid but what a load of drama Queens, that muppet with the black shirt on the start line..ugh.
