Hey NHRA BRING BACK FUEL ALTEREDS !!!!!!!!!!

The sound from the stands on that Kebin's full pull run was delicious!

I just want to say... I was present for Ron Fassel's 286mph pass. That was my favorite AA/Fuel Altered growing up. Such a badass machine and a really cool guy.

Also lucky enough to see the mob, and Texas ranger fuel altereds run! Priceless!

That last run was clean af!

Kebin Kinsley driving the War Wagon. Kebin is the most versatile driver there is. He has raced Top Fuel dragster , Fuel Funny Car , Fuel Altered’s , Top Fuel Boats , Alcohol Finny Car , Top Fuel Go Carts , Fuel powered grocery carts. Just kidding about the last two.

Go Kebin Go....."the Hat"

Blown nitro roar and cackle..love it. However cool as the modern AA/Fuel Altereds are; really they are just Funny Cars without the full bodies. Gotta have some serious cojones to drive those things though.

My dad used to take us to Irwindale Raceway back in the day(grew up in Covina).... it was Chaos...those FA's were nutty!

Boy, doesn’t that look like fun? Just to be there and see those runs would have been awesome! Thanks guys.

Last I remember, in the '80s, Fuel Altereds were 245 MPH "Pedal cars" snorting down the track going every which-way. Jaw dropping to see them in the 4's over 300.

Going thru the lights on the right front!, , Wild Willy B style!!!!.

Congrats on 2k subs!

Excellent video coverage. Thanks.

Need more coverage of aa/fa cars love them and miss them so much

From the original race car DNA. To mention epic..... or legend... just doesn't do justice. Fkng BAD ASS GROUND POUNDERS 💪👍

I was lucky enough to see the Alaskan grizzly run the fifth fastest time ever, match racing Ron Fassel in the Pepsi altered and also racing Ricky Ruiz I the Nevada Rattler! Priceless!😉👍

Alway the best from Les!

I remember NHRA altereds going sideways at the starting line. Crazy rides.

This was an awesome video. Summit with the ET record, and War Wagon with the comeback on the MPH record

The AA/FD more or less morphed into the current funny car configuration with a full body.

The men of men in racing, right along with top fuel drag boats and isle of man TT road racing..😊 ps Tim is bad ass

The altered is the coolest car to see go ,would love to try it .

Subbed!, Awesome video, very well done, thank you.

Thank God I live only 10 minutes from the track and XRP track. Can't wait to see the Altereds again

Got to see the war wagon in Nitro Chaos at Mo-Kan this real. Awesome!

Love it...thanks for this excellent footage

It was great to be there in person to watch!

By far the coolest cars with the craziest drivers = the best racing

6:10 oooff death wobbles like a jeep some scary stuff

I really do hope that these Alcohol burning AA/ Fuel Alters do come back permanently to NHRA, and not just for exhibition. They are a blast to watch especially at night time! 👍 ........(Maybe they can even run them on Nitro!) 😮

Saw this live

I don't know how these Fuel Altered drivers manage to fit their balls in such little cars. I figure that as the cars have got faster the balls have got bigger and that's why the cars are a little bigger so they can accommodate them.

What's with that monster steering woble, that would have scared the pudding out of me.

That was awesome! I will have one someday!

Awesome

pulling a wheelie the whole way. my favorite AA fuel altered was Wild Willy Borsch in the Winged Xpress

Nice.

NHRA screwed up getting rid Altereds. The return of that class alone would elevate NHRA to the moon!

Going to 1,000 feet stopped me from going to drags..how can we compare our childhood heroes to today's heroes with 2 totally different races...yeah I know they got faster so extend the shut down area..im just not interested in 1,000 or 1/8 mile..

Those altereds are a handful. Early altereds with the short wheelbase were totally unpredictable.

They were but i wonder if these may be a little .more cause how much mire horsepower they make now

Take a Funny car Chasis and set it up like a Top Fuel and give it some supreme fuel and there's your Altered Fuel.

I doubt I will ever see a better match race than that one. The great thing was they each got a piece of the record.

Weenie would have been happy to see this... one of the things that his life revolved around was racing.. the AA/FA record was something he was proud of... Congrats guys...

hell yeah

What caused the crazy front suspension shake at 6:00? I thought something broke.

How big is the engine? How big can you go with AA?

500 ci. Most modern-style fuel altereds use the same chassis and powertrain as a funny car.

Those aren’t altereds , they are funny car chassis with roadster body’s

is the clutch and clutch mangement system in AA/FA close to what it is in Funny Car and Top Fuel?

Yes

I want to see a 1 mile run at 9 seconds. Bloodviking

6:10 the burnout shutdown sends a harmonic sinewave through the car frame with the steer wheels oscillating left/right. That seems troublesome/worrisome .

Has anyone broken that record yet?

good eye(s) 2:56

15 minute movie. Wrong title

Not truly fuel alters. Check out the wheel bases. They are funny cars with out their bodies. Real fuel alters wheel bases were much more shorter.

NHRA has lost me and others. It like NASCAR is too P/C and sanitized. No more 1/4 mile, no more AA, no more Fuel Altereds.....I will probably never go to another of either one.

From a driver point they lost us years ago. We are all out bracket racing for big $$

It's a damn funny car with a T/F wing NOT A FUEL ALTERED‼️‼️

@@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm thank you, I wish I were young but I've been driving way more than 50 years.

Altered from a bracket car, I'm guessing? Altered from past seasons AA/FC losers, maybe? Try calling this class something else because these are bespoke race cars and ain't altered from something else. Stop shitting on drag racing history.
