Revelle needs to produce 1/25 scale versions of "Pure Hell" and "Pure Heaven" Altereds to compliment their "Chi-Town Hustler" release a few years back.

Awesome to hear Rich's history from the horses mouth. I gotta say Rich, I (& I'm sure a load of other young kids) spent many an hour gazing at those beautiful shots of chaotic Pure Hell.

Great to know he's still doing good. I've followed him and his cars throughout his racing career . Those altered and Gassers are my favorites . Great show .🔧🔩✌

What a great trip down memory lane. Mr. Guasco is one cool individual.

Santa Rita is the Junk yard -- Quality Auto -- been there Many times in childhood !!!

My dad took me to Fremont Drag Strip for the first time when I was 10 years old. Pure Hell was there, I was absolutely hooked on drag racing after that weekend!

Once apon a time I watched pure hell go about half track at Seattle international race way and when he shifted gears that jumped off the track about a foot it landed and took off ill never forget it I was a kid back then a million miles ago

I just came across your channel, now subscribed . I have followed drag racing my entire life , and that is some straight talk from one of the legends As they say : Fuel Altereds Forever". Many thanks.

Yup cool cars.Pure He'll,Pure Heven,Warwago.Rat Trap ,And Nanuck !

Through high school, I always followed the fuel altereds, searching the magazines for coverage from those California meets. Over the years, the Goodguys and other vintage events have helped me to meet all my favorites. I had never seen a picture of Rich smiling all those years, but was pleased to see his big old smile while searching for the right size t-shirt for my grandson. The picture over my recliner is Pure Hell with the sky-high small block. All the fuel altered guys are just great to talk with!

Wonderful interview...thanks.

Fanastic! Hearing a legend tell his story is just awe inspiring. A-and the fact that he still owns and drives his AMBR car is just another notch in his belt of legendary status. Thank you for sharing this.

You gotta love Rich, what a character!

WOW -- good 2 C he is still alive -- my dad who is 94 was in a club with Rich -- the BlockBusters -- remember grow n up dad had a pic of him and Rich sit n an old Coke machine - drunk I think -- I remember Soapy sales B N at the junk yard also !!!

Great vid!!!!!

Lyons Dragstrip, wow, I spent alot of weekends there. My main attraction was Stone Woods and Cook and their '41 gasser. There was a lot of freedom on the track in the '60's. Do you remember the fire burnouts with nitro? I was sad to see it go

Fred Cerruti -- dad beat him on Isabella Ave -- boy was he mad !!! Also think Jim Limbasis is still in Tracy !!!

Donnie Couch was crew chief when Pastorini won Atlanta !
