Just happened on this video and saw the Burkholder Brothers AA/FA. The brothers were from Sacramento, CA and I watched them run many times at Sacramento Raceway more than a few years back. I don't know what the ownership of this car is now, but the brothers page on the Internet says they sold it in the early seventies.

A fuel altered is a SHORT wheelbase car

i live 45 minutes from the famoso track, always went to the march meets, great times !!

Great cackle !!

This is great

This is Pro Stock! When will NHRA get rid of the stupid blobs with a sticker on the front to tell us which brand it is and give us what we want?

The best part of drag racing in the 1960s and 70s was the variety of machines you saw, with these as great examples. You built your own car including designing and welding the frame. Today, and like NASCAR, most of the cars look the same except for paint schemes and you have a handful pro builders making them all for everyone. The uniqueness of it all is long gone. 😞 I lived a few miles from the now-long-gone Fremont strip in the late 1960s and in my head I can still hear the cars roaring in the far distance on weekends. According to Google Maps I lived only 1.99 miles from the timing light at the strip. You can still see the broken strip pavement and 180° turn-around point of the strip to the west and across the freeway from Tesla's factory on Google Earth if you select HISTORICAL IMAGERY in the VIEW menu and then move the timeline slider to 1993. A business called "Bloom energy building Bmcc" sits on the site now if that helps to find it. Another business campus labeled "Lam Research - CA9" almost overlaps the last turn-around of the track. The grass/dirt runway for the glider port that sat on the west side of the strip and angles off towards the bay but runs almost parallel with the drag strip is also visible in the 1993 imagery. Today in 2024 you can still spot the faintest traces of the U-shaped turn-around part of the track if you know where to look. The north end of the track area had been buit ober and the south half looks like it was allowed to return to bayside wetlands.

Great camera work

RIP Willie, Mousie, and Mike Boyd. No idea where the car is or who owns it

Kudos to whoever filmed this... The picture is perfect and the sound was excellent... Good job

Once upon a time a man said "Behold, I shall build a fuel car with a 1940's Fiat" The world laughed pointed and snicked at the man..... In his shop, after many months of grueling work, day and night, tormenting, welding, hammering, grinding and fitting, he declared "Behold, "The fuel car design that will live in infamy" The people fell to their knees, looked up to the man and said, "forgive us for doubting your wisdom, we have experienced the miracle" and so the 40's Fiat lives on, having a place in the history of man. The end

I remember seeing these few altereds run in the '60s.. not these fuel altered.. but there is much fun to watch race now as they were back then... Wheelbases are a little longer.. but still fun to watch

Just not quite the same as the short wheelbase Fuel Altereds of old like Pure Hell.

I just can't help myself I absolutely love that sound.

Nothing like a fast hot rod and the smell of nitro and burnt rubber.

My options were .......big boobed girls in the mud....or here. You can tell I'm old.

Is that a Daimler 2.5l hemi V8 in that dragster??

Love this class! Hopefully they wont turn this class into another NHRA GM clone bubble car Prostock class.

I have such a love for these cars they smell different they sound different and they still peel the rubber off them slick.

Factory X could have been the class to save the NHRA, not! Why, they already have stacked the deck. Ford and Mopar run 1 kind of supercharger, while the CLOPO runs a different one. Mopar and GM run the BB 427 7 liter, Ford runs the 5.4 liter. Ford was made to run a supercharger and switch from the turbo set up. NHRA has lost almost 2/3 of their fans for favoring certain teams and Brands. Guess they haven't learned much, I quit going 20 years ago.

I love the Bob Glidden paint on the stang!

WAY better than pro stock , REAL bodies REAL wheelbase , Chevy's in Chevy's , Fords in Fords ...I'm thinking this is named wrong pro stock is more like factory experimental and factory X is WAY more stock ... MUCH MORE LIKE WHAT PRO STOCK USED TO BE !

Factory X is awesome

Chicken shit with the political flag.... YOU LOST!

Nanook was havin a bad day.

Reminds me as a kid seeing James Warren win a bunch of these, 😊

This is exciting! Waaay better than pro stock!!!

Sounds STOUT..

Is this rac alive

AMAZING footage bro, you should have like 300k views on this !!!!!!! Keep shooting like this bro & you will hit 1k subscribers very soon.

AWESOME footage, Great job filming 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Love the videos from previous years. My dad ran in the 7.0 class. Awesome to watch

Great video, keep pushing you will hit 1K subscribers soon 🙏🔥🔥🔥

I Love the "Awful awfuls"! I've been a fan since the 60's. The modern technology and longer wheelbase does seem to make them more "manageable" No doubt they're STILL a Handful!

Nice

Pro mods the best class drag racing 💪💪

These are NOT fuel altereds....they ARE funny cars without a body.....only three could qualify for a AA/FA....Godzilla, sheepherder to plan A

Excellent videography 🔥🔥🔥🔥

How come the 20 gallon nostalgia top fuelers get to run a 44 mag, but the nostalgia fuel funnies don't ?

Wish these nostalgia funnies had 35 gallon pumps like their cousins in Australia. Then you would hear real thunder and see big header flames !! Be nice to see deep, smoky burnouts, too !!

These cars still have a subtle "coolness" to them. Cooler than big show funnies by a mile !

Still a #1 bucket list can't think of anything more crazy than this 😮

Hey Everyone, have a Nitro Happy New Year, I love it all. Make it a good one!

A AA/FA VS AA/FR the R stands for roadster

Super video , Thank you for this gem 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏🙏

Another great upload! Nice steady camerawork. Was it shot on a tripod?

NOSTALGIA RULES! Over NHRA big show! 330 mph is cool. BUT give me 1/4 mile with a variety of cars. Were everyone does"nt have to be a BILLONAIRE to run one!

Killer!

Love to listen to these hot rods!
