I hope you write a book one day But make sure you include bill Hoskinson's in the book , you all are both incredible storytellers and your outlook on things Not only in this video but in everything you do is amazing , you seem like a pretty cool cat
Glad he’s doing good. I had to get a pacemaker/defibrillator (my bomb) a few years ago and I been forgetting to ask my doctor about seatbelts. Now I know lol
You guys are top notch. The entire family and team just seem like amazing people. Glad your father is doing better! He is a badass! Love the videos and everything you all do for the racing community! Keep on keepin on!
My Father is 64 and still racing, I thought that was awesome, glad to hear your father is doing better with his pacemaker, that would have absolutely been a question my dad asked also! Lol, man at the finish line that motor was Turing over 9000 rpm screaming, at the finish line it hit the highside,, I was geeking, lol, awesome man, happy for you and your family
^this entire reason is the reason why people do not run NHRA anymore if you tech someone and say they are good you cannot go back and then say your illegal when they said you guys where good
I saw you guys at the nationals wish I would of knew your story before! This is an awesome family experience! Thank you for sharing I will see you next year!
That was great with your Dad's shoes and you said you should race them in the finals forshoes , without missing a beat your dad what size you wear! Looks like good times man. Edit then I watched till the end, sux he got disqualified, but a heck of a blessing tho…
My dad started racing NHRA Nats back in the 70’s as well he ran super stock and pro ( I dunno if pro is still a class or not we had to quit in 92 due to my dad being paralyzed by MS ) both me and my dad have resting heart rates that are 30-40bpm the first time I went to the doc I go to now the first time they took my pulse the nurse ran out of the room and went and got the doc my HR was 34bpm O2 was 95% I’m from Dead Sea level ( grew up and lived at sea level for 33 years my dad was in the Navy ) now I live at 4200ft she asked if that was normal and for me it is when I sleep I go into the high to mid 20’s my dad as well and he’s about to be 70 his is a bit higher than mine I’m 40 so I got a bit of youth on him and back in the day super stock wasn’t a heads up class it was an index class just like bracket racing you had to dial in and not break out, and you gotta scrutinize those tech loop holes you were trying to use a little more back in my day if tech thought something was funny there would disassemble your motor or even your whole car and not put it back together lol
Man i hope i can live to be 79, win a race with duct taped shoes, get DQd and not allowed to run in another class. Thats an awesome story for you guys to be able to be able to tell when you are in your 50s lol
Love all your videos, but THIS ONE hits the favorite mark! Love that you have the whole crew out. Great way to continue an excellence in company culture to remind the crew where it started.
This was great and your Dad is cool and I know who he is. I was there with some friends of my Dad's running stock and super stock. Dad was a NHRA D3 stock racer who got tossed from time to time for pushing the rules on his combination and weight. My dad passed in 2020 at 75 of a heart attack (have video about him on my channel) and I just want to say I'm glad you caught that pacemaker situation when you did. And you'll always have this video to look back on.
P.S. I am building a turbo LS G-body and saw a track video elsewhere about one that one of your guys did for drag n drive. It was a Midwest Drags video maybe. Did you ever make a video on that car for this channel?
I feel like he is winning everytime he goes down the track at this point. He is a true warrior. Sucks they took his Wally. I bet another competitor pointed that out. I bet you anything.
That’s amazing! Even if the car was tech’d correctly and your dad added the 25 lbs. it still sounds like he would’ve won based on the gapping he did in the finals. It’d be cool to come watch the fall classic/grudge race. Keep us posted so we can all come and support your pops! Your faith and gratitude shines in everything you do! You’re inspiring a lot of people through every one of these videos, your message is one of a pure heart driven by your faith. Keep up all the good works my brother in Christ!
Does your dad run on all motor or does he use nitrous or turbos or what he's pretty darn quick good job buddy
Great video helping your dad race. Glad he got tuner up before it was to late.
nice movie brother i like this story~!
I hope you write a book one day But make sure you include bill Hoskinson's in the book , you all are both incredible storytellers and your outlook on things Not only in this video but in everything you do is amazing , you seem like a pretty cool cat
What are awesome video that's pretty cool your dad at that age doing what he's doing rocking it
Regardless of the oversight in the rules I feel you guys would have still won
Ronnie will be in no prep next year
Glad he’s doing good. I had to get a pacemaker/defibrillator (my bomb) a few years ago and I been forgetting to ask my doctor about seatbelts. Now I know lol
This was a great video! Loved seeing all you boys go to support your dad at his race. Loved it!
You guys are top notch. The entire family and team just seem like amazing people. Glad your father is doing better! He is a badass! Love the videos and everything you all do for the racing community! Keep on keepin on!
DUUUUUDE!! You have the coolest dad EVER!! He drives a fucking 3rd Gen!!
NO LIFT RONNIE!!!!

This is the "Best" Video I've seen this year and it's a Blessing to see an O.G. racing with and without the Pacemaker – great job!
Raced back in the late seventies at Norwalk Ohio before Summit and Dragway 42. I remember the Cobra venom Mustang winning a lot of Super Stock races

I thought I recognized Dan Kyle. Had him for teacher in highschool.
Its awesome that racing runs so deep in your family, and to see you out there crewing for you 79 year old dad!
