ON DVD

The follow-up video to ‘Nitro Nostalgia Funny Cars’ (for sale below) is now ready for public sale. By popular demand, JBV decided to include ALL the Funnys, except maybe one, that attended the 2008 & 2009 March Meets and thus, the “More Nitro Funnys” DVD was created.

The Jackson Bros captured, on film, many of the greatest Funny Car racers of all time, at Fremont Raceway, in the early to late 70's. The J Bros shot with a Nikon Super 8 film camera that had a great Slow Motion feature built in, and they used it on many a burnout and launch of those Nitro powered Hot Rods. Tire shake and body flex were just as BAD then as it is now, and is plainly evident in this great, rare glimpse at some of the wildest, greatest Funny Cars that ever traveled the 1320. Here's a partial list of the racers included in this program... John Force, Don Prudhomme, Jungle Jim, Ed McCulloch, Tommy Ivo, Don Schumacher, Tom McEwen, Roland Leong, Tom Hoover, Connie Kalitta, Shirley Muldowney, Jungle Pam, Linda Vaughn, Pisano-Matsabura, I'll John Lombardo, Jim Dunn, Pat Minnick, Gary Densham, John Mazmanian, Steve Leach, Billy Meyer, Kenny Goodell, Jerry Ruth, Danny Ongias, Ron Colson, Dale Pulde, Condit Bros, Jim Terry, Pandemonium, John Hovan, Gene Snow, Henry Harrison.....and many more. Includes 18 min. of bonus music by Stephen Elliott....(Alternative Jazz Rock Instrumental). Time: 60 min.

ALSO INCLUDED - The jazz rock soundtrack by young Sacramento, CA. musician, Stephen Elliott, compliments the graphic action and color of the video, Old Funny Cars N'Force. The CD, "Time Traveling The 1320" that comes with the DVD allows you to enjoy the music while driving down the highway, get togethers, working around the house, or just plain "working out". The Jackson Bros did not have sound cameras in the 60's and 70's, but a video with good travelin' background music always adds flavor to the visual experience of watching the legendary Funny Car Racers of the 1960s & 70s.
Time: 78 min.

This program contains some of the rarest historical film ever seen on the 1960's Drag Racing machinery. With a unique collection of Front Engine Fuelers, Funny Cars, AFXers, Wheelstanders, Oddballs and Exhibition cars, this video will go down in Drag Racing history as the greatest collection of colorful nostalgia on one video cassette.

The Jackson Bros. have taken from their vast film and video archives a mix of rare film footage from the '50s, '60s and early '70s and coupled it with some modern day nostalgia to make a hot rod Drag Racing video like no other. The theme of this program is based on then and now sequences going from the past all the way to the present. We use descriptive titling and light rock music behind rare film sequences and the modern footage puts forth unrestricted live action audio. There are comical moments and there are serious moments just like in real life. Dave Tedford summed it nicely after crashing in his top fuel nostalgia dragster when he said, "Oh well, that's drag racing!" You will meet Dave in this program and see other drag racers in the same "oh well!" situation. Blown Altereds, Gassers, Dragsters and Smokers are highlighted. You will come to realize and agree with the Jackson Bros. that nostalgia is wild !!!!!! (90 Minutes)

ALL-color film footage dating to 1964. Dedicated to the AA/Fuel Altereds, this video depicts the typical "wild and crazy" type of action these cars displayed.

"Action Outtakes" depicts their 2 fuelers racing other top name cars at the Goodguys VRA events. All the smoke and thunder these cars produce are captured by the Jackson Bros, close up and intense, without any audio restrictions. There's no lengthy chit-chat, but true spontaneous excitement when Mendy Fry tells you what it's like to go 251mph just after blasting off a 5:87sec. pass in the MasterCam fueler. That run made Mendy the first lady Drag Racer to go over 250mph in a Nostalgia Top Fuel Dragster. Sean Bellemeur drives the Plaza Hotel fueler and shows great promise as the new "young hero" of the class. His list of wins, the first year out, are impressive. If you enjoy the excitement of Nostalgia Top Fuel, you will not be disappointed with this High Speed "Action Outtake" smoker. Tracks include, Famoso, Las Vegas, & Pomona. (56 Minutes)

Located along the California Coast about 20 miles south of San Francisco lies the historic Half Moon Bay Dragstrip. All of the big name drag racers of the late '50s to the late '60s competed there before thousands of enthusiastic fans. The track closed around 1968 and it was not until October 29, 1994 did the track re-open for "Sound Tests" of mild to hot drag racing machinery for environmental impact studies. Local prominent citizen of Half Moon Bay, Bot Senz, and his friend Lenny Kolstad have spearheaded efforts to revive the track which would center around the promotion and development of the Jr. Drag Racing League created by NHRA. Stock cars with capped headers would compete once a month with an occasional nostalgia drag race. Bob Senz has waged a tough uphill battle against environmentalists, local boards and home owners with irrational, unfounded misconceptions. The name Drag Racing still carries a stigma and still gets a "bad rap" since its inception. The question is: Do we "blot out" Drag Racing to save the earth or do we let Earth take care of itself and save our youth and human spirit? (54 Minutes)
