This was a 2+ year project. We'll have it on loop here at Carlisle for people to watch. If you're a fan of 60's and 70's drag racing, I think you'll enjoy the content. As we go forward, we'll continue to build out more content, so always open to feedback on what you'd want to see. Special thanks to so many people who provided us never before seen photos and video's for us to use. I was blown away by the support. Valeo Films did a great job and I'm looking forward to what people think! Please subscribe and like our channel, it helps a lot with relevancy on YouTube. The goal is to get this to iTunes or Netflix so people can consume anywhere they want. For now, YouTube. It's 4 episodes so you can pick your point of interest if the earlier or later stuff isn't your thing, but I hope you'll eventually watch all of it

Enjoy!

Watched it all today.

Your Dad is right, nobody has kids like he's got.

You did a great thing here. Congratulations.

Watched part 1. Early 60's. He worked hard & earned everything he accomplished. "Poor" as he said, but MAN what a work ethic for a young fellow. The "stars" all aligned in a brief period, that set the ground-work for such an outstanding career & life. Looking forward to next parts. Great Work & Thank You.

Your Dad is a treasure and a pillar of what Mopar and drag racing was back in the day, and evolved to today because of his hard work. The Part 1 video is top notch. Make everyday a great day with him --- and take in all you can - we learned over the last couple years that we can take nothing for granted, especially good health and plans into the future (as we age). Thank you for sharing this rich history of his ascent in the sport and his personal triumphs given all the challenges growing up.

If your father was the original “Mr. 4-Speed”, when did Ronnie Sox become “Mr. 4-Speed” as well? Forgive me if the answer is in the documentaries, as I’m just starting to watch them.

Thanks for clarifying it. I had it confused for many years.

That's guys it means a lot. When pouring the insane number of hours into a project like this, you never know what others will think of it. Posting it for free allowed me to license a lot of footage and pictures I probably couldn't have got otherwise. I was blown away at the response at Carlisle. I'm totally exhausted at the hotel room now and have a decent drive home tomorrow

From the comments in Epsode 4:

"One word describes Mr McCandless, "CLASS"
We need so many more people like him in todays world!"

Amen!

Watched all four parts yesterday. Even the wife sat with me to watch for about an hour. Great job on the interview and the story. Must have been great to have the connections your father had at Chrysler. Enjoyed the whole story, may watch it again.

I watched part 1 last night and really enjoyed it. I forwarded it to a friend whose dad raced a Dart Sport in Pro Stock in the 70s.

Fantastic. Good you were able to get Lohnes on board.
A couple times the music almost overpowered Herb's commentary, but the whole thing is such a treat.
Everyone did a great job, and as a labor of love, it doesn't get any better than this.
Thank you.
