  • Take a look behind-the-scenes at our @nhra #4WideNats weekend in Charlotte. I finished runner-up in the McPhillips Racing Mobil 1 Top Alcohol Dragster and my teammate Mike Coughlin brought home the Wally.

    Tony! I'm old, so I've seen a lot. That also means I'm old school and you have to earn my respect. You have done that Tony. I greatly respect you as a owner, driver and the way you handle yourself and your career. I've always liked you Tony. I love your passion and honesty. Something this world is lacking these days. I appreciate you Smoke. Never charge brother. Always keep it 💯

    I was there on Sunday! The man beside me acted like he was about to fight when I looked at him and asked if he was pullin for Smoke. Then he got excited when I told him that I was too! We about jumped our bench off the stands when you won the semi finals! One of these days I'll get to be there when you win! 😊

    I grew up racing Leah in Jr dragsters 20+ yrs ago.. they would travel from Cali all the way to the east coast to run our series (because we were so far ahead of the west coast programs) and she was badd fast back then!
    We ran each other in the finals a Bunch of times... she was TOUGH!

    My dad lost his leg after a period of multiple heart surgeries. That "one legged man" joke was one of his favorite jokes. He was a big Earnhardt Sr fan and I was always a Kulwicki and Petty fan. We both spent a period of time not really having anyone in NASCAR to root for and then we both agreed we were Stewart fans. He would have loved to see this!

  • @jefflynch9559

    I've been a drag racing fan since the '60s and been to many races as well as racing myself. This video is a whole new insight into how the pros operate. Very cool to watch and it makes us feel like we are part of the team. Thank you for doing this and giving us all a new point of view. You have a new subscriber.
    I'd also like to mention that I stood next to you at the Shelby plant in Vegas many years ago while you were looking at a Series I car (if I remember correctly) I wanted to say hello but didn't want to interrupt.

    You guys could make them an hour long and it still wouldn't be long enough. I really enjoy the behind the scenes stuff, we get the races on TV and you and your team do a great job of showing us behind the curtain.
    I'm gonna guess that most of the viewers are gearheads, so I'd like to see more mechanical stuff on how a T/A dragster actually works.
    The best 🙂

    Very few people understand how much work it is to run a drag car. The team knows every part of the car and how many runs are on each one. The stress is incredible and the work is very hard. As a driver you feel a little spoiled. It takes so much work to get down the track and only one person gets to really feel the speed. Great video. It really gives a look into why people give their lives to drag racing. I saw an Aston Martin F1 fan in there too!!! You people got class!! 😆
