Never see Lutz on the starting line screaming and hollering in celebration when Larson looses and have never seen Lutz talk trash and call Larson childish names on National TV like Larry's done to Lutz!! I dont know what the history is but Lutz shows way more class in this beef

    I remember the first Hot Rod drag deal and this car was pink. Not many people knew Larsen back then. I still have the Hot Rod dvd with this. It was raining the last day. Carl Scott rebuilding his big block in the parking lot. Awesome stuff.

    I saw this car at the Las Vegas SCSN race the same year Larry & Chad cruised the strip with it. I kept walking past it in the pits and just staring. I got some strange looks from Larry and his wife so I finally got the nerve to say hi. Nicest folks you’d ever meet. A couple of the things I remember that I thought was so cool for a car of this performance level. He kept the steering column stock appearing and it has a stereo! The machine is awesome!

    Honestly, I'd say you can thank Kyle and the whole 1320 crew for a lot of your viewers. I first saw you years ago on their Drag Week coverage. I liked what I saw in you back then. You're an ultra driven competitor. No bullshit and drama. You seem like a pretty down to earth regular guy like the rest of us. All of that is appealing to me. THIS right here with what you're doing right now is the reality TV we all want. Keep em coming Larry. Mark my words, you'll have 100k subs before 2022 is over.

    I remember seeing the nova at heartland park topeka backed in over at the old chassis shop and it was pink. Then you moved to KC and would see it a lot and it had a blower and a lenco. He would drive to KCIR with his son in the passenger seat with the radio cranking and would make a couple 8sec or high 7 sec passes and drive back home.

    Larry the only time you take any ones negative comments serious is when their cheque book is the one paying for every thing, til then no one has any reason to feed you negative comments. when i was building things back in the day when i got negative comments i looked at them and said ok you do it right i will come get it when it is perfect and i am not paying a dime for what you do. saddly eventually i ended up doing every thing by myself with no help. but when the end results destroyed there units lips sealed pretty tight and was soon asked to do work for them. alot i refused point blank because feelings i had from before some i just kinda liked so i helped them.

I figured that you’d be the man that would be able to tell me/us the difference. Thanks and the channel is great already.

    You're doing a good job of sharing your story with us, especially since I understand "long form" discussions like this are new to you. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you were the one who led the charge for "no trailers" as a part of Drag Week stating that the racers should bring in the car what they needed for the week.
