it sounds like seeing that explosion was worth the drive.
I love when Uncle Tony tells stories
That's what I'm here for man, I'll stop and listen to almost any gear jammer stories .....kids today be like vid or it didn't happen...
well ya know what?
I think it was better living it,back then,and still being around today to tell us about it.
Edit : almost any story ...as long as the story isn't about a 62 mustang with a 455 hemi that ran 8s off the showroom floor 🤪
@@MrTheHillfolk , everyone knows a 62 Mustang, 455 hemi, factory OE 2 speed powerglide, would easily run mid 7s straight off the showroom floor...
@@johnkufeldt3564 darn it I've been lied to then, I coulda bought one for 3k, the old dude needed a bottle of Geritol really bad and was desperate for cash.
I love old top fuel stories. When I was a kid in the late 70’s we had a top fuel funny car. Dad loved experimenting with hydrazine, and blowing engines like it was his job. One time he grenaded an engine in the pits, on jack stands; the piston went right through the trailer 3’ from where I was sitting. Mom was not pleased hahaha
What's your dads name?
@@UncleTonysGarage BK Sr
Uncle Tony's Garage Jeff Rapp is his name. The top fuel funny car was called ‘the grim reaper’ then later ‘high anxiety’. Previous to that he had 3 top alcohol dragsters, then later went on to race top alcohol cars til the late 90’s
iheartmysquid All you need is a rubber nose and floppy shoes 🤡
Ok. I've seen him run countless times, but we've never met...as far as I remember.
Like preschool when story times on you sit down 💪
I'm sitting on the floor Indian style with my half pint of milk 😁
@@MrTheHillfolk crisscross applesauce!!
@@77yogurt 😀👍
Chunk of piston sez to Tony: Hey, get me outta here before that nutcase throws it back together and runs it again!
Haha he adopted it
That was an enjoyable 8 minutes.
Please sir, may I have some more?
Oh my God that was awesome Tink Tink Thud right on top of the old boot that's as good as the time A friend of mine decided to shoot the well tank with a little pistol and Tink Tink Thud the bullet landed on my shoulder
"Where's the kaboom? There's supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom!!!?"
Marvin me ol mate is that you?????
I heard it!
"That creature has stolen the explosive space modulator"...
Marvin!!!!!!! Loved those old school real deal cartoons!!!!!! Lol!!!!
What's great about this thread is that in my mind i can remember that voice simply by reading these comments..!!
EPIC! “Everything between the transmission case and the fuel can just...went away!” 😂
Now that's funny! Sometimes that truly is the Right Thing: "You Know, Don't....Just Don't"
Do a video about hydrazine aka "H".. I just read and old article in dragzine that you wrote lol..
I was hopig someone would ask Tony about hydrazine.
Nooooo, we're not running 'H'... Those green header flames are coming from the copper head gasket... Now quit asking me questions 'coz I got to hurry back to the pits to drain the fuel out before... Oooops, never mind

@@bottomshot4546 That is freaking awesome!
That story is like a metaphor for my entire existence.
I jest, wish I could've seen the explosion. I got the crud too! Afflicted beyond reason.
Such a good story close firend of mine known as "the flying dutchmen" in Ontario tells me all kinds of story's he has a rear main jernal and a flywheel that snapped clean, love the story man killer
"Some days, you should just stay in bed" LOL!
Love it man ! Thanks Uncle Tony Hey man Can't wait to hear about that Bonneville LS Swap Someday hehe
Another fantastic story from Uncle Tony. I could never get bored listening to them!! 👍
That is one funny low buck racer story. I can see it, I really can see it.
I was standing near the finish line at Maple Grove. Scott Kalita crossed the line at 300mph, blowing the tires away. It felt like my face got splashed with small drops of boiling water and black smudges smeared my glasses. It was melted rubber! It was glorious !!! 👍
Who was the one person that disliked that? 😂 the driver? Love the stories !
Had to be a bot.
Great story. Reminds me why I drop everything and go to the first event of the season. Just to watch Shit come apart after cars have been worked on all winter.
Lmao I love your description of the explosion. Your stories are the best!
That had to be one of the best descriptions I've ever heard. I was picturing that in my mind.
Yea I dig em too , kinda like when others join in also , as long as it doesn't become a dick swinging contest.
Haha I'm proud of some of my carnage pieces I've kept.
Tony hopped up on nightquil tells tails of the nitro days
"...lit up like the fury of a thousand suns..."
Now that is story tellin there hoss
I love hearing old race stories. Thanks for the laugh Uncle Tony!
I love Nitro racing...When it all goes right it's spectacular and when it all goes wrong it's even more spectacular.
You sir are every mopar guy that I ever grew up with on my block. How you talk, explain and build takes me back to when I was 10 drooling over my ex gf dad's 440 4 speed 70 challenger, his friends 340 4 speed demon, 383 auto charger, and so many other bad ass muscle cars. I enjoy the hell out of your videos as they take me back... back to the dirt floor back yard mopar days of my child hood. Thanks and keep it up!!!
Powerful stuff Tony. I get it, thanks for the share. BOOM! i can sort of see it. Some things you just should not do. And the thing is you KNEW it was a bad scene before you got there.
I hope you get well soon.
Tony's done many awesome videos.. this is one of my absolute favorites...I wish he'd do more " Tales from the Nitro Crypt " ..."This thing exploded with the fury of 1000 suns" .....absolutely hilarious
When I was around 21 I met a guy very much like uncle Tony. He had just about done it all from street racing with V8 Vegas to having a dragster that ran in the sixes on a low budget. When I met him he was running his own garage and taking care of a couple of other people's dragsters. He hired me and I worked for him for about a year. Just me and him in the shop. I learned tons in that year. When I left to become a machinist he let me keep the keys to his shop to use whenever I needed. This video reminded me of him soo much. He was put into a coma in a freak motorcycle accident that wasn't his fault around 2005. He eventually came out but his memory was wiped and had issues. Uncle Tony has become one of my favorite channels. Largely because he reminds me soo much of my friend.
Great story. I was laughing so much that I had tears streaming down my cheeks. Tong you describe things so well I can just about see it for myself. Your metaphors are the most original out there.
Great story; thanks for that and I'm sure there's more to come.
Thank you for the great video. And thank you for the awesome story
This is awesome , it's story time with uncle Tony,,
Of course, I can't speak for everyone but this video highlights the reason I am a viewer, fan, whatever. And that reason is to garner those cerebral nuggets that fall between having untold thousands to throw into a car with no worries and "just don't". The car that wouldn't fit in the garage is the epitome of "our people". Keep em coming Tony.
Man I absolutely enjoyed that story! I had such a vivid picture in my mind the whole time you were telling it. Rock-on Uncle Tony
well this made my day and gave me a hard laugh. thanks tony you are the man!
Love it. Thanks for sharing as usual. I share your feelings of "just dont!"
Thank much
I haven't watched yet, but I've liked. I feel an Uncle Tony story coming on and I know it's going to be good.
In my childhood, we attended many drag boat races. This was before superchargers had waste gates or safety straps. It was not uncommon for the supercharger to be blown completely off of the engine, go 50+ feet in the air, and land in the river never to be seen again.
Another memory of those events is the photographers. They had cameras with motor drives mounted to gun stocks. They would aim the camera at the start, and follow through the finish taking continuous pictures. They took miles of film trying to capture a magazine worthy crash. It is worth noting that the boats back then didn't have enclosed cockpits. The driver wore a parachute with the static line attached to the engine. If the boat crashed, the driver was jerked out by the chute. Made for a great picture.
I love the stories! Feel better soon Uncle Tony!
Love the story hope you get feeling better I been fighting that shit for 6 weeks
That’s a great story, I would love to hear more like this one!
Your story reminds me of many Friday and Saturday nights in the late 60's at the old Detroit Dragway watching things go horribly wrong. The old "Run What Ya Brung" rules in effect. The stuff great memories are made of.
Thanks as always!!!!you are the best, Tony!!!
A mushroom cloud and everything left.... freaking awesome.. spent some time helping on a Top Alcohol Nitro dragster. Even N/A it is unlike anything pounding the ground. Al Meade, Lee Young, and Doug McCann.
Holy fuckshit!!!!!! Yup, we did and saw some crazy shit back then in the good ole days!!!! Shirley Muldowney in her insane fucking jet car with the Vietnam era jet fighter engines from hell that light the track on fire and blaze down the quarter mile in a blink of an eye always struck me as holy fuckshit too!!! I loved wrenching and running,helping and bench racing, hanging with all kindsa cool people in the pits. Those alcohol and nitro monsters were so frikkin load just before launch it hurt your ears something fierce! They left the line so fast that by the time your ears couldn't take any more and you're raising your hands up to plug your ears with your fingers,the cars where down track tripping the lights already!!!!! Speed man,whooooosh!!!!!! Hope y'all had a cool holiday thingy.
Hahaha.. when your shown a sign.... clear as Day light... got to love it.. thanks Uncle Tony
Great story👍 Thanks Uncle Tony!!!

Tony, I laughed my ass off several times.....damn, can you tell a story! Don't know how many times my buddy and I have turned a less than so-so car into a steaming pile!! Nothing like nitromethane to find the weak spot in your build. I'm gonna watch this again... I'm suffering the "crud" myself, must be the season. How about a CD..."Uncle Tony's Nitro Bedtime Stories"?
