1st Qualifying session for Nitro, Friday night at the 2021 NHRA Sonoma Nationals.Nitro Funnycar & TopFuel Dragster

[@neilreid2298]

Many happy memories at Sonoma. Ran a top alcohol dragster- we were terrible except for turning a large pile of money into a much smaller pile. We were good at that. Fun show- thanks for posting.

Lol it's hilarious seeing the difference between Wednesday drag nights and this. Getting my mustang in the elevens is a good day there then I watch this☹️

[@mitchconner1407]

Watching this as the 2022 night session is underway. Can’t go to Sonoma anymore as I moved far away. Miss going to this.

[@frank-xp6pj]

Thanks bro, yes I was in Pomona & will be uploading those videos this week, they are much better than my Sonoma videos. 👍

[@RacersUnited]

@@frank-xp6pj looking forward to it!

[@fastracingandhotrods6891]

[@frank-xp6pj]

[@vincereynolds8977]

Thanks for posting this. Great job!

[@nitro501]

Great shooting from the stands. It's not easy with all the people in your way.

[@frank-xp6pj]

Thanks Steven Hoffmaster , your exactly right . It’s always a challenge when the fast cars run but if you look at my videos from the early morning it’s like taking candy from a baby it’s hardly anybody in the stands so it’s not a problem then.

[@ericmyers2460]

Hey, I see me! Man, my shirt and pants are way too big LOL. I was in the media vest with the grey hat you were panning with during cacklefest. Love the work man, always love to watch highlights of the event.

[@frank-xp6pj]

Good eye bro 👍 I see you putting in work. 🙂 stay tuned for my Pomona videos & Thanks for watching.

[@MforLG]

Woah that's our green car at the beginning!

[@frank-xp6pj]

That’s a bad machine 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@AmericanHotRodEntertainment]

Great video! What do you use to not get shaky cam ?

[@frank-xp6pj]

It’s just handheld Sony camcorder….no gimbal. It has a great image stabilization system that gives super steady footage. Thanks for watching brother hope to see you at the track soon 👍

[@dr.erikbarrington3621]

One of the nicest tracks I've been to.

[@byronlee627]

962momo who are you to tell someone what to film & what not to film.This is top quality drag racing content.No other youtuber records the entire run like frank 4434 does.this guy records the burnout staging and the run so keep your mouth shut.

[@papiizill3366]

GREAT ZOOMS!!!!!

[@frank-xp6pj]

Thank you Papiizill 336 , stay tuned for Pomona videos they are much better 👍

[@Grateful2Exist]

I know nothing about drag racing so maybe this is a dumb question: I know drag races are short, but I recall them being much longer than this. Did they shorten the race? I feel like it would be more fun to watch them go longer, plus they would possibly get to a higher speed. Can anyone fill me in? Thanks!

[@Cobalt.tarkov]

Top fuel in the 90s was ran to the 1/4 mile for safety reasons at somepoint in there they changed top fuel dragster and funny car to run 1000ft so 320 less feet but every other class runs 1/4mile

[@naomiradtke7433]

On our way!

[@frank-xp6pj]

🙂👍👍 have a great time !

[@richardmountz3865]

Nice to see the Densham nextGen....

[@frank-xp6pj]

I agree, Thanks for watching 🙏

[@whiskeysixindigo7371]

I've watched several of these videos and ti always seems that the guy who loses doesn't get defeated by the other driver, but that his car breaks down right at the middle of the strip. It seems as t though the race is already won or lost by the mechanics before the cars get the green light

[@butchcassidy3373]

Awesome cackle fest.

[@leelarkins1321]

Dope quality bro

[@frank-xp6pj]

Thanks bro, looking for a nearby carshow to shoot before I go to the NHRA FINALS in Pomona next month. 👍

Shame people stand up at the End .Can't see .But good Vid

[@peterlee6745]

Great 2 see J/Force back as well .Being a Drag Fan from the 70s Still Can't Beat That Sound

[@frank-xp6pj]

Thanks for watching Peter Lee, its a never ending battle trying to shoot around people & sometimes it’s perfect but at other times it’s no way around it, I just learned to keep shooting like we spectators do at the track, we never say “ I can’t see so I’m just gonna sit down & not watch the cars anymore, we constantly try to look around others each & every pass” sometimes we get a clear shot of the cars from start to finish & sometimes people get in the way. Early in the morning if you notice when the sportsman cars run there is hardly anybody in the stands & that’s when you get a clear unobstructed view of the cars from the launch to the finish line BUT unfortunately when the Pros or fast cars come out then the stands get crowded.👍

[@larryphillips7349]

@@frank-xp6pj Its always been like that. Even in the 70s at OCIR. Even harder to see when your a 10 year old kid. Dad would put me up on his shoulders to see the nitro cars. Thanks dad. I miss you.
