Awesome Camera Work,,Great Sound Quality,, MANY THANKS Frank..

[@graememetcalf6976]

AWESOME Frank your footage is better than NHRA TV now I can actually hear those top fuel beasts do a burnout and leave start line instead of having to listen to Reinheart and co

[@ref69]

Frank! What have you done my man!? I'm 65 yrs old, and this took me back to my kiddie time when we lived in Claremont, and used to hear them practice on Friday's when I was in school. On Saturday's and Sunday's, my mom or dad would take my brother and me to the Fairgrounds and we would stand there at the entrance where there were a lot of kids wanting to get in. We would jump in the back of a pick up truck or get in someone's car and stay until it ended. It had kind of slipped my mind until watching last year's Daytona 500 yesterday, and Mike Joy from FOX did a promo about it. Thank you so much for making my day. You are one AWESOME brother!!! God Bless....💖💖 Shouts from Mainz, Germany...

Lol….Sounds like good times to me bro, glad you liked it & appreciate you for watching 👍🙌🙌

[@joshmorrison9323]

Frank, you’re the man. Thanks for posting, feels like I’m at the race, great quality.

[@timothyvaher2421]

Frank! The closest, high quality cinematography next to...! Wow 😲 Glad to see the Funny Car driver Get Out of that massive Hit. Thanks to the many and original Safety Pioneers: Wally Parks and Big Daddy Don Garlits. 🙏🏆🏁

[@frank-xp6pj]

Timothy Vaher Thank you for those kind words bro 🙏 yes I’m glad he jumped out of that funny car because he took a direct hit into that concrete Jersey wall….Hahns device & safety equipment did its job. NHRA gets bashed a lot but they implement these rules for good reasons 👍👍🙏🙏🙏

[@mrsamsung8184]

Since you're good at replying I'm curious how more subscribers and more likes benefits people that have videos on KZbin in general

[@frank-xp6pj]

@@mrsamsung8184 well more subscribers means that you have more of a chance to get more views simply because you have more people subscribed to your channel, however it doesn’t always work that way…I was looking at a video last night that a guy posted a month ago & it only had 200 views last night but he has 30k subscribers…..in Dragracing it’s kinda complicated because NHRA has the fastest accelerating cars on the planet ( Nitro Funnycar & TopFuel dragster ) but on average The Streetoutlaws / NoPrepKings videos get by far more views. Next year I will attend a NoPrepKings event to try & get my views up. Thank you for your support it’s greatly appreciated 👍

[@wood4278]

All you hear is 100% Pure HORSEPOWER...Man I love this sport

[@eleanorhastie35]

Frank: thanks for representing NHRA with this video! It just amazes me that these cars can attain speeds of 330+ miles an hour at 3.6 seconds elapsed time, Consistently. (Awesome)

[@frank-xp6pj]

Thanks for watching, I appreciate the kind words & yes it still amazes me everytime I go to the track & see these beast ….I been watching them at NHRA events for over 40 years & it never gets old 👍

[@FloridaManRacingChannel]

Another great video Frank! Got me fired up for this weekend. Posting the qualifying sheets is a great idea as well - makes it easier to follow along if your memory is poor like mine 😄 That funny car took a hard hit off the wall ,glad to see he was ok. Keep em coming Frank!

[@frank-xp6pj]

Thanks Florida Man, to be honest I got it from you with the qualifying sheet. Thanks 🙏 👍🙌🙌

[@arjay1140]

Love seeing the Sarge back in the seat, but will never get used to not seeing him associated with the Army.

[@raymondmasse5577]

Kind of not seeing Force associated with Castrol

[@doctormcboy5009]

damn this was good thanks bro!

[@frank-xp6pj]

Thank you for watching, stay tuned next year I’m going to NHRA Arizona 👍

[@bcjake5491]

Great video! I just caught the finals on Sunday, so I loved seeing this.

Thanks for your support, I only went one day this time but Sonoma I will record 2 days & for the Finals also 👍

Virgil Thanks a million bro 👍👍🙏🙏🙏

[@stephenpage-murray7226]

Thank you from Downunder

[@rollydoucet8909]

Great video. But, for those who have only seen Top Fuel cars on TV or videos, you have to get to an event, and see these cars in person. The sounds, and the ground shaking under you feet will confirm what you've been missing.

[@frank-xp6pj]

I concur Rolly Doucet 👍 it’s nothing in Motorsports that can match it at all.

[@rollydoucet8909]

@@frank-xp6pj Another 'rush' in motorsports is to sit in the stands at a Nascar race and feel the wind and the heat from the pack of cars as they've gone around the track on the first lap and pass you at nearly 200mph.

[@frank-xp6pj]

@@rollydoucet8909 I agree But I would have to do that at Daytona or Talladaga. 👍🔥

[@rollydoucet8909]

@@frank-xp6pj Yes. that "rush" would only be felt at the super speedways. At the restrictor plate tracks, once they take the green flag, they need to go around the track before they reach the speeds.

I loved going to the Winternationals as a kid in the 70's....

[@Mr98bagger]

Good except unable to see the tree.

[@SeanBoweVideos]

What camera did you use?

[@clydeblair9622]

Leah needs to talk to Brittany. And why does Connie hang onto Doug? Too loyal. Get in the seat you Bounty Hunter!

[@mrsamsung8184]

WOW!!.... these races are so close about 1/3 in from what I'm seeing I mean so close

[@frankherbert9147]

Good.run

[@raymondmasse5577]

Make a trip to New England Dragway some year. It's a very nostalgic track and very well attended. Now that the Canadian borders are open again I expect a sellout for the event. June 3-5 2022.

[@frank-xp6pj]

Yeah I always wanted to go there since they closed Englishtown…when we use to go to the NHRA SummerNationals in Etown a lot of racers in the sportsman classes came from the NewEngland region, lots of cool cars 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍

[@raymondmasse5577]

The most popular spot is the hill. You can see the whole track from there.

[@RockyAllenLane]

What is it that the last man takes off the engine and shows the driver before he sets up for the run? Thanks.

[@eleanorhastie35]

The camera you are using seems to be coping well with the conditions. Nice work.

[@nitroperformanceguy]

This videos are amazing! What type of camera set up did you have for this?

[@frank-xp6pj]

Thank you Nitro Performance Guy, I use the Sony FDR-AX53 camcorder.

[@VisionProStudios]

Man, you got the chance to record the BIG GUYS!! I lived in El Monte until I was 13 yo. We used to go to Irwindale Drags back in the day/ NEVWE got the chance to go to Pomona in the grand stands, but did get to watch from an infield view one year. Nice job..I will be at the Northern nationals this year filming..you coming this way maybe?

[@frank-xp6pj]

Thanks bro, I would love to make the Northern Nationals but unsure right now….I will be filming in Sonoma in July for the NHRA Sonoma Nationals on Friday & Saturday BUT I’m gonna be at a big grudgerace later on in May so hopefully there will be some nice cars at this event….I’m also trying to film some car shows here in California this summer….gotta keep giving people videos to watch, I can’t wait to see your video from the Northern Nationals so I will keep checking your channel 🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥
