Nostalgia Funny Car Finals drag racing video from the 2009 March Meet. This is the “A” class, the top eight qualifiers out of 27 or so Nostalgia Funny Cars. The next eight quickest qualifiers went into the “B” consolation class, and you can find a drag racing video of those passes listed below. The eight superstars that you see here were vying for the March Meet title, the crown jewel of Nostalgia Funny Car drag racing. This 51st March Meet at Famoso Raceway was the first stop for the NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Series racers. When the tire smoke had cleared, it was Bucky Austin over teammate Garrett Bateman, in the quickest side-by-side race in Nostalgia Funny Car history. Bucky set a new elapsed time record for the class, with the quickest pass ever made in an AA/FC car, 5.723 at 246.77 miles per hour.
