Great video pics...nothing like top fuel funny cars...but....with that being sad, for ALL of US who are jaded & disenchanted with modern day NHRA & NASCAR, please check out SEGA (Southeast Gassers Assoc) - they adhere to the 1967 NHRA handbook ( as much as possible)...all body styles must be from 67' or older...all cars must use a 4 speed & clutch - NO automatics allowed...they honor our military before Prayer & the National Anthem 🇺🇸 🙏 🏁 ✌
Who is going to be the one to tell Jim Dunn walkers are not a good idea on the starting line. I appreciate his enthusiasm but safety may become an issue.
I've noticed not alot of spectators . what's really happening now is street outlaws NPK it's always jam packed . Even locals no prep racing in small towns dragstrip has more spectators than this it's kinda sad if you think about it.
What a horrible race this was very disappointing that left lane sucked all day long gatornationals usually is the best race of the Year this was horrible,
How boring. Slow these FC's down to 300 mph. Go back to the quarter mile and smoky burnouts. Make the bodies look more identifiable, relatable and entertaining for the spectators. Have some business sense, guts, and make some positive changes to the sport. I live 35 minutes from Pomona and stopped going to the drags 20+ years ago. Alot of my friends have stopped going as well.
I agree. I still love it but I think the sponsors have too much control over the sport. It's almost like a big infomercial. They don't do long burnouts anymore, the last time there was a burndown the crowd was going wild and the starter disqualified them. They hardly ever race at night. Also the pros are so busy plugging sponsors that you don't ever really see the driver... except john force. LOL
🙄 if you quit going 20 yrs ago then it wasnt for any of the reasons you mentioned and there not a single person that would suddenly start going to see them go 300 ft farther but slower ,
Hello from Canada. 🇨🇦
this kicks ass! Great video, great sound!
Thank you for Watching! Looking forward to Next year again
I noticed there's hardly anyone in the grandstands. Years ago those grandstands would've been packed with spectators !!
Depends which day and what time of day plus they got rained out .
Ticket prices
@@stevieg2755
Yeah. You could be right.
It's too expensive
@@darrellcaraway6068 have you ever bought a ticket ?
even the funny cars sound mad af, pure sound and awesome
Looks like John was sleeping at the starting line. Before I get any hate, I would like to say I love John Force.✌️
Ain't doin' THAT in Beijing! 🇺🇲
Great video..GOES TOO THE TOP LOL.
I haven't been to a funny car event since 1980s with my dad and brothers .
Jim Dunn is still at it and even needing to use a walker now but still out there getting the car ready for a lap.
สวัสดีครับ 🙏🏻❤️
PDRA is my new go to for drag racing.

I went to the gators for years but like NASCAR, NHRA alienated it's grass roots fans and look in the stands now.
Go to a major league baseball game 😮
No Commerce, no more fan.
how is it 2nd run, SCAG runs a 4.05 at 355.63 ?
Something fishy. Someone please explain.

What are all those people doing around the start line
Wearing ball caps
@@darrellcaraway6068 well you have the crew of the team then maybe some sponsors then others that can get a starting line credential to be there.

FLO racing at Bradenton was packed. NHRA has lost touch

@@jerrycoon3369🙄 that's just as untrue as the op , either you haven't gone in forever or you just dont know what you're talking about
Then don't watch
Everything is a rip-off nowadays
Same thing with NASCAR!!! Stopped watching 10yrs ago.
