Probably one of the most underrated channels for drag racing fans out there. As a fellow drag racer that loves learning about all the stuff that goes into making a race car like this work. You do an amazing job. Thank you.
WOW & HOLY SMOKES!! You are TOO kind!! Thank You for checking out my Video - And for the super kind words! I am blessed to have folks like you checking out my Channel! Blessings to you~ Gregg
WOW!!! Thank you SO much for checking out my Videos - And for the fantastic comment!! Great folks like you help me with the motivation to make more NTT Vid's. Blessings to you! Gregg
WOW!! You made my day!! I put more time into these darn Videos than I probably should. Kind comments like yours help with the ole' (sometimes faltering) motivation to do more! Thank you so very much!! Blessings to You ~ Gregg
Gregg, long time nitro fan from the UK here! I’ve been racing since I was 6 years old (decades ago) and this is THE best technical content I’ve ever seen on the web (and there’s some great stuff out there). This was next level awesome! I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel tonight-shoutout to Clay Millican as your video was a recommendation after I watched his latest content.
WOW! You are too kind! Thank you so much for the kind words. This is precisely what I was trying to accomplish when I started the Nitro Tech Talk vids a while back, as I too hadn't seen anywhere on the ole' web where such things were explained. Yeah, Clay is the king of RUclips from the Drag Racing world. He does a very nice job. Hope to hear from you again! Thank You! Gregg
@@GreggRacing Not at all too kind: even in Europe where we aren’t always up to speed with the latest tech over the pond, I haven’t seen a bimba driving a mag for some years-I’d practically forgotten it! That you took the time to set that all up to demonstrate it is so awesome! I’ve been working my way through the tech talks and they’re all similarly great. Superb work!
Very cool to see how it was done back in the day. Up until probably 2018 we still had an air switch on the throttle to activate air pressure switches to start the Command Module. Since then we've moved to all electric. I remember being told that back in the day before cannons existed they had an air cylinder attached to the arm on the clutch fork shaft and that's how they used to control the throwout bearing. Edit: Were the 6-shooter boxes the step between the air timing and the current command module stuff?
Yeah - There's nothing wrong with starting the Command Module with an Air Switch at all. I think many of the Cars I run against still do it that way. Thanks so much for checking out my Video - And for taking the time to comment. You are Ab-So-LOOT-Ly correct! - A 6-Shooter is exactly what we used in between the two options I showed in this Video. There was an earlier Leahy Box (Red Band) that I used to control the 6-Shooter. Heck Fire - I even stacked two together for a short time and had a 12- Shooter! The really CRAZY part is that there is an A/Fuel Car that I compete against that still uses a 6-Shooter...... And they Haul ASS!! Great Car, Great People and very close Friends. Kim & Randy Parker. Thanks again!! I greatly appreciate your time to check out my Video. Take Care~ Gregg
Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate you checking out my Video. The Run Sheet is something that I designed and have been tweaking for many years, but it is an employee we have in our normal Copier Biz that had the I.T. Skills to take it to an entirely different, (& WAY Cool), level. I should make a video about what all it does - 'Cause it does a bunch of pretty dang cool stuff- That just wasn't the point of this Video. I have had a fair amount of interest in my Run Sheet, so I should probably pursue this. Thanks so much for your comment and your interest! Gregg
Thanks so much for checking out my Channel & Video. There is a stunning amount of detail that is required to run a Car at this level. I've tried to cover various other parts of it in other "Nitro Tech Talk" Vidoes I have Posted. Hope to see you back with us on our next Video! Thanks!! Gregg
Thanks for checking out my Video. The Throwout Bearing is a pretty straight-forward part of the Car - Is there something specific you're interested in, or that you may have struggled with where I can try to help? Or are you just wanting to see how it works with our Centrifugal Clutch? Lemme' know and I'll try to help. Thanks Much! Gregg
Loved this way over my head I used to ser my duel point distributor with a matchbook cover would love to hear h ow you set up the chassis and how you adjust the wings front and rear do you change for different tracks?or does it make a difference with more down force down track Thanks again CKC Bob
Hey, Bob~ I'm with you on setting your Points with a matchbook cover. I remember those days too. My Dad had a Dwell Meter that I also remember using many Moons ago. Wow! Lots of changes, for sure! Regarding your questions about Chassis and Wing setup/tuning - I shot a Video recently that addresses this for you. It's still on the editing table, but we'll get it Posted as soon as we can. Thanks as always for your support, CKC Bob! (LOVED that BTW!!) Gregg
Good Question - I covered it very quickly in this Video - But you've given me an idea that perhaps I need to show how the Fuel System in our Hot Rod actually works. It is definately not like any muscle car out there. There are massive differences that, just maybe, you'd be interested to see and to learn a bit about. Very quickly for today ~ The BDK is a Regulator that allows me as the Tuner, to control the Fuel volume that goes to the Motor...... But, the BDK is on the RETURN side - NOT the Motor side. I'll start working on a Video here soon that will explain this so that it makes sense! Thanks for the question - And for checking out our Channel & this Video! Take Care~ Gregg
Thank you!
Thanks for checking out my Video - And for the comment! Both are greatly appreciated! Gregg

Awesome info! Where can I get a copy of that logbook program? I think that would be handy to have

So much work just to cover 1320 feet! Video explains a lot of the work that goes into each run.
