Just a bunch of random home movies made in my "spare time" Most of the movies are of my family and our adventures together. Many are silly, some are sweet and a few can't be explained. I enjoy these movies, I hope you do to.

Here is the launch from my front yard in Woodland Hills. Good view although a little out of focus at the start. Near the end I got the first stage landing burn.

My daughter Ellie, her friend Lucca and our friend Stacy get their first look at Top Fuel.
NICE ADD SCARECROW, WITCH, AND ZOMBIE
That’s how we were scared our five year old he started to cry
Looks like pomona,ca if so this is where I first experienced this awesomeness!!
@@jesusislord2503 Yes, Pomona. We go there twice a year for our top fuel fix. Nothing like it!!!
Other first time things to experiece, not as extreme as Top Fuel. Bristol with the Cup cars at full song, and the Indy 500.
I love taking people to their first nhra race
I take all first timers to the fence at the starting line -no ear plugs for the full sensory overload. Nascar fans are worst/best telling me how loud they are until they see this and freak out.
I'm guessing the one thing not being mentioned is the physical shock way their whole body just felt? And surprise, I've never seen one either, but I can understand their shock and surprise
Hope he’s still with you. From,St.Paul,Minnesota.
this footage is mostly likely 1966. could be very late 1965. I doubt it is more recent than late 1966 based on- Hubert Platt, Butch Leal, Nickey Chevy II, etc
Scraping the waters above Firmament...thx
That was priceless!!!
The best way to describe it is a controlled explosion on 4 wheels. You can just feel it through your bones.
Launch at 1:10.
That is what 12,000 (24,000 for 2 cars) horsepower does coming off the starting line. I've been going to see the kings of the sport for over 20 years. Always much better seeing it live than on t.v.
Like a bomb when they take off
I think some ear plug instruction would be helpful...
Nothing like the first time
First thing they should have done was tell the a- holes behind them to sit down and stop blocking the people behind them
I love watching the newbies at the NHRA events. I used to work at Sears Point Raceway, so im quite familiar. The best place to sit is at the thousand foot mark, where all of the engines power is being applied directly to the ground! It's so loud that your eyeballs will rattle in your head!
Who the heck are these people?
I love the smell of burnt nitromethane in the morning...or afternoon...or evening.
Nothing on earth like it... Awesome ......
Nothing on earth like it .... Awesome
A feeling you will never forget .
Earplugs? Geez, that is kinda the point of top-fuel. Noize.
Most people want to have hearing later in life.
You see it. You smell it. You feel it. You can’t look away. Amazing.
you gotta love it
One of many things you just have to experience in person.
can't really get the full experience unless you are unprepared and without hearing protection
I was a teenager first time I went to a drug race, I'm 71 years old now it was a small track about 30 miles from where I lived and it was only an eighth of a mile. But I'll never forget my chest felt like it was moving in and out with the pressure
"a drug race" - sounds like a race with no winner, only losers!
It is so intense when you are there
Welcome to a new more exciting world.😊
Until someone experiences that, there is no way to imagine the shock to the senses that is.
It's violating.
Ive watched top fuel, and even with ear plugs and ear muffs its like a bomb going off right next to you.
as an older guy, I find it amazing that people attend "live" events and then spend half their time watching it via their phone camera/video ??? WTF... just enjoy being there
The reaction IS the event. It's different every time. That's the spectacle. Watching people wrap their mind around a little 500ci engine and dinosaur blowing doing all this.
Not to be the party pooper, but none of those three were using hearing protection. the earplugs need to go in the ear hole, not simply touch it. this is a common thing and I saw it in the military often. it can cause a confidence that will lead to permanent hearing damage and tinnitus as the person thinks they are protected, but they are not.
Top Fuel is a rush
my first was a 1966 Garlits-Kalitta race.....I wasnt prepared for the whole body experience...
I think ALL visitors to the USA should get the drag strip experience.
Dont forget, we dont need to come to America to see top fuellers. we have then here in Australia , and other countries as well.
@@catey62 And you SHOULD have them in Australia - for maximum enjoyment. But it is a lot of fun when people from everywhere get together. Do you do what I used to do 30 years ago? When I pulled up next to a cop at a stop light I would roll down my window and ask, "When the light turns green do you want to race for pink slips? (ownership certificates). The cops would generally give me a look and then we'd both start laughing. I don't do that any longer. I'm 84 and I don't think the cops have the sense of humor they had back them.
Some people don’t even flinch or have facial expressions.. weird
A matter of exposure and familiarity. Or focus.
I don't think a lot of people realize that you feel it much as you hear or see it their first time.
EVERY TIME. I LOVE IT!
Blurs my vision for a second or three!
And you smell it too. I don’t care how much you watch it on television you can’t get the full scope of actually how fast they’re going until you’re there watching. The fastest accelerating vehicle on the planet.
Nitromethane. That fuel. Have had my hands bathed in Nitromethane for 40 years.
I worked the starting line (MEDICAL), and loved the smell of burnt rubber and nitro.
In the 'old days you got blower explosions thrown in for extra fun.
Saw John Force pop one at Gville 88. I was at the fence at about 60ft. Loudest thing I've ever heard.
@@kenforu1531 I used to watch John Force at the Late Great O.C.I.R. One of two things happened. Either he blew the body off or he crashed into the wall sometimes both. But I thought if he could ever get it figured out he might be good at it. Then he teamed up with Austin Coil and we all know how that turned out.
They still pop blowers, but with all the ballistic shielding, it's not as spectacular as it used to be. I remember a photo, many years ago, from Indy. The blower was higher than the crossover bridge! A TV camera man, on scaffolding, was killed by a blower, also at Indy. Back in the early 80's we were at the AHRA Nationals at Alamo Dragway. A blower barely missed us. Thank God for all the safety equipment these things have now!
Who are they?
Looks like Pomona where we go regularly.NHRA awesome experience
Yup Pomona, we go there every year.
@@friedfilm Awesome 👌, we went to Nascar in Fontana last February. Last of that track with Nascar. V8s the best,E cars 💩
How to get hooked on drag racing in less than four seconds.
That is a fact.
YEP!!
Loved it!
no idea why this came up in my feed, but yeah - just ff past the entire first whole minute. here you go: 1:09
Ellie has a five o’clock shadow
My wife fell back in her seat and kicked the guy in front of her while laughing her @$$ off. Guy turned around and said “first time?”
