Now that's the way you do it! Remain calm, don't panic, extinguish the flames, and stop the car. This guy really knew what NHRA drag racing was all about, and he will certainly be missed. RIP Raymond Beadle, you were an excellent driver. Oh, and to dragtimes2, thank you for this most awesome upload of '80s NHRA action!
Beadle was almost unstoppable in those Ford body cars. Think he started out with a blown nitro 427 Ford engine .. anyway Beadle and Snake make up some of my best memories as a kid
Great seeing Blue Max lay it down in person ! Balls to the wall everytime !
Would have been great to see a John Force match up.
Didn't get off the gas........huge balls ! Full respect
Back when nitro racing was at its finest....much better back then than today....more cars and personalities plus way cooler...
Baylands Raceway in Fremont, Ca. is where I fell in love with that funny car. Thanks pops.

Saw the Blue Max run at MOKAN today, knew that team had been around for decades…

He would’ve got it!
great video. Didn't RB own a trailer customizing business in Dallas? Chapparel Trailers? I could be wrong.
