A great interview, honest stories from one of the good guys. Met Larry several years ago in Chicago at a soccer game(!) with his family. He was just such a humble, nice guy and chatted with me and my family. Wish all the best for Larry.
I was a fan of Larry Dixon and always pulled for him. I was very disappointed when he no longer was competing. I did not no the reason until know. I respect him even more after watching this video. God Bless him and his family!
I have great respect for Larry Dixon. Not only because of what he has accomplished, but because of the person he is. It is so good to hear a driver refer to the crew without saying the word "my". Unless you are paying the bills, it can never be 'your team". He realizes he is part of a team. I hope he can get one more ride!
Larry Dixon is amazing and so is his story. He is an excellent role model and is well deserving of his earned success. It amazes me that sponsors are not lining up to partner with him.
I respected this guy a whole bunch before...... I had my father died of lung cancer three months ago and what he said about cancer and family just put him on another level with me he is such a nice human being..... and of course my father was a big Miller Lite drinker...
Larry Dixon we love you brotha. I remember my first NHRA race as a kid in Joliet. I I specifically remember the blue Miller car and being scared shitless from the sound and the echo coming off the route 66 stands. Hooked ever since
Larry is a really great dude. My son and I went to northern nationals in Michigan. End of the night, racing done , we wanted a Larry Dixon shirt. I asked one of the crew guys if we could buy a shirt. Larry was working on a head in trailer, he stopped and said hello to us and shook our hand. Really great dude
I had drawn a picture of him, he was anxiously sitting in a golf cart at the US Nationals waiting for Prudhomme, asked him if he'd sign it, he did. Prudhomme ran up, rushed him to the hospital, his second child had just been born. When driving for Al Anabi, 9:30pm US Nationals, he spent about an hour talking to fans until the last one (me) left. Never seen a high profile racer like him bend over backwards for his fans.
a true gent..he invited me into his pit, introduced me to hie crew chief and gave me a guided tour of his rail..a real nice genuine guy..a pleasure to have met him at Memphis a few years ago..
Larry always was a good racer . Decent man . I think he should've found different Rides eseasily . Lots of experience . But better than that he would make a great team owner . Never know he might still . But I was lucky enough to see him and enjoy his racing .
amazing interview, watched this with my dad realizing how much of a role model is to me getting me to the races and being blessed every moment of my life
He struggled his first two years racing for Prudhomme. But 1996-2004 along with Tony Schumacher and Doug Kalitta no one was more of a Top Fuel King than Larry Dixon was! Wild finish line crash vs final against Scelzi too.
I was in the stands at Gainesville when you carried the front wheels past us off the start. You were brand new at the time and that was a most incredible pass…..
Another great interview! Larry is way to humble a guy to ever admit his "HERO" status to fans, but he is one of mine. To my father The Snake was his generation and Dixon was mine. I was 15 years old @ Firebird for AZNats in 95 soo cool I was a HUGE fan for his first win and I will be for his next! ;)
A truly wonderful issue of this series. IMO, the success of a person is generated as much on the perimeter of their success as it is at the center. His attitude is what makes him a winner, and who and what he attributes, is the wind at his back. I always liked Larry, but after seeing this, respect is what i think of first. He is happy and he has balance, a lot of people never have either. Kudos to him. Im blown away at how much he looks like his dad.
Bobby this was another great interview..thank you! Larry I always route for you! Bobby How about hot rod fuller next or soon. He's a great guy with great stories.
Boy if I ever hit the lottery for big money, I would back Larry to the best equipment money can buy for as long as he wanted to drive, and set the T/F record for most wins ! I have not met Larry but listening to over the years and with this video, I think of him like my brother……
Dixon is a real Legend no matter what he does next. He is the example a lot of others could follow. NHRA has unfairly ostracized Larry for innovation. He earned his stripes !
i am a larry dixon fan and have been for some time now i have met him at us 131 dragway and spoke with him and bought a few shirts as well and proud to represent him as i ware his shirt i have it on right now as i write this and yes look forward to seeing him again soon at the track in martin michigan tony s
Loved it when Larry got to Drive for Don. My dad would build the Diff for Nobby hills Houndog 9 & 10 AFC1 in the UK. Same livery as Don's Army FC. So always followed the snakes progress.
I agree with others he is a great driver and a person I love the two seater and he’s brave emus to do it while others stand there with there tail between there legs
Awesome video. Just remembering the time we were in Palm springs spring break. I traded you for some chick on the back of the old gsxr750. What a night...
Great interview! Larry Dixon is a very humble and genuine guy, nothing but respect for him and he's a true asset to the sport of Drag Racing.
Larry Dixon was always my guy. I wish you the best dude
Great video Larry Dixon what a fantastic person

I love Larry. Truly a great human, and racer. This was far and away the best of the series "LEGENDS: THE SERIES"
Larry Dixon is one of the greatest drag racers that ever got in the seat, and never let it go to his head. 👍🏻
have you ever met him? NOT sure that you would agree with your own statement afterward

guy is a douche, met him in person was way too full of himself
@@erinjordan9974 the only one that sounds full of themselves is you!
@@erinjordan9974 So have I, Jeff, and YOU are the problem. YOU, pal !

One of my favorite drivers and one of my favorite interviews!!
This video is exactly why Larry Dixon has always been my favorite race car driver! Hands down!!
I love you like a brother Larry Dixon. May you have the best of times in your future.
I respected this guy a whole bunch before...... I had my father died of lung cancer three months ago and what he said about cancer and family just put him on another level with me he is such a nice human being..... and of course my father was a big Miller Lite drinker...
Purely amazing! Keep these coming please. Larry Dixon with a beautiful quote. "Every man dies but not every man lives".
You're a legend in my eyes Larry Dixon!
ditto sir

Always enjoyed watching Larry Dixon race. He is definitely very humble man nice to still see that in the world we live in now.
Awesome interview, and a great person with a great attitude! He did it from the bottom up, and appreciates everything, may the Lord Jesus bless him!
If any of us can be half the man you are Larry Dixon. We win. Bless you.
What a great individual, respected by all. Always have been a fan from the start. Good luck in the future.

always loved larry such a humble human being and someone who really knows about fighting for something
HUMBLE?????? Conceded being a more proper statement
@@erinjordan9974 oh did he not kiss your ass and you got butt hurt poor baby!
Larry is still a rockstar. NHRA needs him!!!
Thx bobby. Loving the series
I used to attend 2-3 nhra races every year. Nhra pulling his license was the last straw. Have not been to one since and don't miss it.
I was in the stands at Gainesville when you carried the front wheels past us off the start. You were brand new at the time and that was a most incredible pass…..
Great interview. Larry is a real down to earth guy. I met him at Willowbank in Australia. He always gives 110%.
good at fucking over his fans though
@@erinjordan9974 I have heard you say that why don't you give some first hand examples!
What a great series. Larry Dixon exhibits so many great traits. No wonder he's won so many races and championships.
always liked liked larry from beginning till now, glad I watched video, good luck larry and ur endeveors , merry Christmas happy holidays....
Thank you for the awesome interview.

I remember larry bustin ass for the snake in Spokane WA HE EARND WHAT HE GOT OUT OF THIS GREAT SPORT.
Love Larry Dixon & Snake. Wish the Al Anabi thing never happened & they were still racing.
Still waiting for your come back Larry !!!!!
why?
@@erinjordan9974 What is your problem ? Don't like Dixon ? Too _______ bad.
Boy if I ever hit the lottery for big money, I would back Larry to the best equipment money can buy for as long as he wanted to drive, and set the T/F record for most wins ! I have not met Larry but listening to over the years and with this video, I think of him like my brother……
Larry is the GOAT of my era miller lite all the way.
The Team is the winner, not the driver.
Excellent attitude Larry. 👊👊
Dixon is a real Legend no matter what he does next. He is the example a lot of others could follow. NHRA has unfairly ostracized Larry for innovation. He earned his stripes !
Remember the "FIRESIDE INN ROADSTER"????? THAT car was Larry jrs. roots. It`s a shame Larry sr. quit. He was a great guy!
I really like hearing him mention the lord
Good job Larry
i am a larry dixon fan and have been for some time now i have met him at us 131 dragway and spoke with him and bought a few shirts as well and proud to represent him as i ware his shirt i have it on right now as i write this and yes look forward to seeing him again soon at the track in martin michigan tony s
You are a Winner Larry ! Always will be.
Loved it when Larry got to Drive for Don. My dad would build the Diff for Nobby hills Houndog 9 & 10 AFC1 in the UK. Same livery as Don's Army FC. So always followed the snakes progress.
at one time, Larry had pro stock bike racer Steve Johnson for a roommate 😲
great video, thanks for sharing
Thank you for the x2 dragster....
Another great interview...

NINE (as of 6/30/19) "down" votes ? What is WRONG with people ? Some people are just sick and demented.
I agree with others he is a great driver and a person I love the two seater and he’s brave emus to do it while others stand there with there tail between there legs
Awesome video. Just remembering the time we were in Palm springs spring break. I traded you for some chick on the back of the old gsxr750. What a night...

I would love to meet him and shake his hand
lololololololol @17:50 Larry Dixon, Pet Detective. Allllllllllllrighty then.

Yes! that would be great.
Class Act
Love to see one with Kenny
It's coming, we have a few others ahead of it.
👍👍🇺🇸🏁
Clud dance in Ohio 1995 , that escalated quickly LOL
Larry’s a stand up guy!
If you have never met him, you would agree, DOUCHE BAG!!!!!!
NHRA threw another good one away. Shame on them.
Started with the snake at 20 , WRONG !!! You started with the snake at 20 with A MULLET !!!😄😄😄just saying!!
To bad the NHRA suspended him indefinitely.
Larry ain't dam league
