NHRA Pro Stock Pit Tour with Jeg Coughlin Jr.

[@richardpica6577]

Jeg thank you for taking the time to explain all those details !

[@KenH-wq8jk]

Thanks for your time. That's one of the best breakdown I've heard in years. That's awesome deal. Thank you.

[@RealLife73]

I agree 100%.

[@behindthecatchfence]

Thanks for tuning in! I was blown away with everything he was showing us!

[@eddiefe428]

​@behindthecatchfence I use to like it,but I don't as much,they destroyed it went they went to fuel injection, nothing as racing like 2 big holly dominator carb with big tunnel ram,so the heck with,hopefully everyone will boy cot it,and don't go no more,just like they screwed up nascar racing

[@EdHindel]

Yea l kind of agree however l would never boycot or promote a boycot of pro stock. ​@@eddiefe428

[@dakotaautosales9673]

​@@eddiefe428Quit Hating man I liked the carburetors too but It's competitive and good as it's ever been right now

[@tombeasley1943]

Excellent video!!! Jeg has always been an articulate speaker. Showing the nuts and bolts of how it works in NHRA is key in helping drive the sport forward.

[@behindthecatchfence]

Thank you! Jeg was such a blast to work with, I was blown away

[@mrkbhrns]

Very articulate commentary. Thanks!

[@bobsmith1101]

Glad someone decided to follow the Clay Millican ' Fan Immersion ' model. Bravo Mr. Coughlin! This is a huge inspiration. I can tell you personally, being a drag race fan many years ago, that channels like Clay's and now yours, my interest has been renewed and attending events once again. Keep 'em comin' . It's a win-win.

[@musicalhelp]

Thanks for offering me the first thing of value I've seen on all of social media today.

[@behindthecatchfence]

Well I’m glad this video was the thing that made you feel that way😂

[@EdHindel]

​@@behindthecatchfencel agree l kind of felt in the dark because when l am at a race they have those barriers to rightfully keep fans away from the work area, but this put right in there. Thanks to all especially Jeg for putting us in there.

[@kennethmillsaps7336]

We were standing there watching your interview. Didn't get to ask you about your channel, but later found it and subscribed. Thank you for all you do!

[@behindthecatchfence]

Well shoot that’s pretty darn cool! Next time you see me at a track, feel free to come up and talk 🙌I appreciate you subscribing!

[@dennisDallas188]

This is a great explanation of what's involved.

[@markwray3905]

Thanks for the tour and info.😊

[@GTP427cobra]

Thanks for your time and the tour and explaining everything

[@bellis872]

Well done & VERY interesting & informative!

[@alvintarrer6914]

First time in my life time,thank you brother Jeg nice set up 👍☕️☕️✌️

[@grahamW-s5l]

Thank you for the video. Absolutely fascinating. Graham in England. XXX

[@behindthecatchfence]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Super cool our video made its way out to England!🙌

[@hemifiedsixtyfour2813]

I always liked Jeg. Nice he gave you great tour.

[@barrywillis8924]

Thanks Mr Coughlan. Excellent information.

[@neilmelliard9477]

Awesome, informative video thanks

[@CRAZYWHITEBOY87]

He spoke of needing a #19 spark plug, while picking up & a #24 spark plug. OCD is a real thing Mr. Coughlin 😂 All bs aside any of the Coughlin you meet & speak with everyone of em’ are real class acts professionally spoken all around fine ppl. This was an informative, I will say it was rushed a little more than some may like, however taking into consideration its raceday & himself as the driver as well as his entire team were focusing all on one thing, that being the car itself. I must I enjoy watching your videos and thank you for bringing us an up close and personal look @ what some of the biggest names in NHRA DRAG RACING have to offer.

[@behindthecatchfence]

I didn’t notice that until you mentioned it! Man now my OCD is hitting😂 thanks for your kind words, they mean a lot! Even more NHRA content coming your way soon too!

[@EdHindel]

Yea l watched this again to see what l missed the first time. Very informative.​@@behindthecatchfence

[@Ls6racer]

Great job, Jeggy ! ! !

[@merylpelosi8485]

I find it refreshing to see a 6X champion still has the pride and passion in his sport to produce this. This video was interesting from beginning to end. Here's a guy I wouldn't mind having to sit next to on a long flight.

[@behindthecatchfence]

Thanks for watching! It was super cool to see how much passion Jeg has for the sport. Definitely gave us more than we could’ve ever asked for with the tour

[@RealLife73]

Impressive! I sat up in the bed when he opened the transmission gear cabinet. Also the crew chief lounge is top notch.

[@behindthecatchfence]

I was not expecting to see them laid out like that. Definitely had the same reaction😂! Unreal to see everything and how top notch they make it

[@jerrymartin8189]

Impressive ...indeed....I have heard from various folks in/around the Prostock class say ...that the ...." gear ratio cabinet "...fully stocked, Costs over a hundred thousand plus.....

[@RealLife73]

@@jerrymartin8189 Wow! I wouldn’t doubt it.

[@Tom-jy3jd]

Impressive, gear cabinet was crazy

[@williamdeford4225]

Jeg you are looking so much like your father nowadays hope you are doing well great program

[@Turningwrenchs]

Good to see Jeggy jr back in a car still wear my hat and still a big bucky customer we built hundred of cars.Also they only use gas

[@BradleyHoffman-b1g]

This is great!

[@loganhoffmanonair]

So cool!

[@mchristr]

As a 50+ year drag racing fan I'm so disappointed to see what Pro Stock has become. I used to walk around the pits until the fuel cars were done and then head for my seat to see Pro Stock. But I haven't been to a national event in a decade. Perhaps the great hope is Factory X, real-looking cars with big horsepower. Something has got to change.

[@sunsetchasin7666]

It's more popular than it has been in yrs. I'm a 60 yr old fan. While I still like some pro stock, I am now a huge pro mod fan. From nhra 1/4 mile to grudge 1/8th mile. Check it out.

[@EdHindel]

I'm 66 and l understand where you are comming from howevet we need to accept progress like it or not. I might suggest visiting some of the nastalga races that even include the Gasser Nationals ​@@sunsetchasin7666

[@timmurray7639]

I agree 100%$ that Pro Stock is not what it used to be. When all cars have the same wheel base and other dimensions it sounds more like a Nascar cookie cutter with just a different body. I rarely watch Pro Stock as well. I have become more of a Drag and Drive fan.

[@ericprotune]

The correct name for this class i think Pro AM or Pro NA and pro mod class name should be Pro Boost..

[@hpjunke]

What do you think in your eyes would make this class relevant again id love to hear it

[@stewartbennett4829]

Thx Jeggie...

[@mikekoke4767]

Great video..

[@behindthecatchfence]

Thanks for watching!

[@jack-k6z7n]

I LOVE NHRA PRO MOD, MOUNTAIN MOTOAR IHRA PRO STOCK AND NHRA PRO STOCK THE BEST 3 CLASSES

[@newportbeach3621]

Now I want to know if Jr has a coupon code for Jegs ? Awesome run through on what goes on

[@MichiganQuadTrailsTales]

Great Video! You don't get that close to them very often.

[@behindthecatchfence]

Thank you! It was a real treat for sure!🙌

[@EdHindel]

That's Jeg's nature. Great guy.

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

Nice to see inside trucks of pro stock drag racing teams😊

[@ryankosciesza5295]

How do they get a prostock car so light??? That's crazy!

[@jack-k6z7n]

COOL GUY

[@markbogle8062]

Wow

[@richardpenner4686]

Very secret sport...nice tour...

[@behindthecatchfence]

Thank you!

[@Axeman12171]

tyvm

[@dresdensvo]

Why does his cage have 3 cert stickers ?

[@user-Dr.]

All that being said, I still have a question, what engine is that, a race engine; nothing to do with production, or is it a BB Chevy, Olds based, LS package, do all teams use the same basic engine today like NASCAR, I have been trying to figure that out for a while now>

[@jerrychase4177]

Ram Air Boost and resulting Horsepower?

[@captlucky2320]

They actually lost hp when they went away from the hood scoop

[@V8Lenny]

​@@captlucky2320because it is kind of restrictor but they gained from fuel injection so now they have even more power.

[@jamestone265]

😊

[@joeyjojojr.shabadoo915]

I wonder if he's sponsored by Jeg's ? ...... ;)

[@Justthatguy420]

The low price for average nhra pro stock team for a year is 5 million

[@shane425c]

They should just make it so it's all electronically shifted since almost all new cars are automatic even corvettes shifted automatically with clutches. And no more big blocks damn nhra get with the times.

[@mchristr]

With pretty short decks I'm not sure we could call them big-blocks but I get what you mean. Pro Stock has way bigger problems.

[@AntonioCarlosNogueira-r5s]

Entendi

[@dedreman2227]

And the stands empty when pro stock pulls to the line lol

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

The cars are so radical now that I don't even watch anymore. I was a HUGE fan back in the 80s. Glidden's red/white Thunderbird, the Professor's silver/black Hurst Olds, Bruce Allen's yellow/white 3rd gen Z28, and Butch Leal's white/red/blue Firebird were the schitt. The 70s and 80s were the best in Pro Stock. The 70s cars were the closest to real street cars.

[@Tony-ug4oi]

Sad there is no true Ford in pro stock

[@shawnwalsh5430]

Sorry about the fact that no Carbs are used and it's all electronic. The ones with the most money wins... Pretty sad.

[@ricvis44]

So when you going to race Billy The Kid and the Street Racing Channel???

[@AlwaysAwesome001]

Pro-Stock? No. Pro-WWE? Yes. Pro-Unrelatable? Yes. Pro-Boring? Yes.

[@krtt750]

Spec shit. Who cares. Nostalgia is all that's left.

[@mushmouth]

Dude thinks a lot of microprocessing goes on. 😂

[@MrShark4488]

NHRA and IHRA pro stock today's a joke. They're nothing more than a ProMod with a naturally aspirated engine in them.

[@HPRaceDevelopment]

isnt that the point? PRO meaning the best class

[@deantait8326]

@@HPRaceDevelopment Kinda. But in ‘70 when the class was created, it was primarily a class that you could make a living in but it was also a name to differentiate it as a class above Super Stock. However it was also a class that a sportsman racer could compete in locally. Today it is an elite only class.

[@frank-xp6pj]

@@HPRaceDevelopmentexactly, people act like Prostock is the ONLY doorslammer class in Dragracing….its supposed to be expensive & fast because its the ultimate naturally aspirated doorslammer class & it’s very interesting.

[@EdHindel]

​@@deantait8326Kinda like Funny car and Top fuel hugh?

[@cavemanmaine1314]

As far as i am concerned nhra ruined pro stock going to fuel injection and all this computer stuff.

[@ashleyflowers2745]

Put carbs and clutches back in them. NHRA sucks.

[@Justthatguy420]

Pro stock, nothing stock

[@jimmccauley9099]

I'm all for progress but l have to say the pro categories are boring. Cookie cutter cars that are just missing a slot in the middle of the track. Yeah, they're fast and yeah, they're loud but still boring. Pro/Stocks hey-day was done with the invention of the lenco. Flat shifting is a dying art form.

[@johncunningham60]

All cookie cutter cars "THAT A MONKEY COULD DRIVE" Jenkins quote..how true That's why there horrible to watch. No imagination to try things like Glidden..R&M..WJ..ETC BORING AS HELL

[@EdHindel]

That is YOUR opinion. It's called evolution.

[@brianholcomb6499]

So as they said on Days of thunder! There’s nothing stock about a stock car! Like 0 factory parts! Not Prostock, or stock car racing!
