Kenny Easley ready to flip the switch on Doc's funny car

Did you ever wonder what it would be like to be on a match race team in the 70s and 80s. Well wonder no longer. I spent a day inside the crew of a funny car match race team on race day. I want to thank Doc Halladay for allowing me total access to his team. I also wish to thank Jerry Newman for giving me an education on the fundamentals of a nitro engine. And finally I want to thank Kenny and Bobby for putting up with me sticking a camera in their faces all day. Enjoy the video.

Funny Car Team

Ever want to know what it was like to be on a funny car match race team in the 70s or early 80s. Well here it is. I spent the day inside the crew of a match race nitro funny car. Thanks to Doc Halladay and Jerry Newman for allowing me so much access not to mention an education. Thanks to Kenny and Bobby for putting up with me sticking a camera in their face all day. The video picks up just after the first run.
