The Ute/Flatbed @0:33 is SO MAGNIFICIENT!
Great to see racers enjoying these amateur drag races even more than the big corporate financed ones. Good on ya mate!
Can someone please provide a link to bubbas VH SLE when he talks about when the trans coolers failed and the car almost burned away in front of his eyes ?
wish I had bad days like that lol have a shocker and still come 2nd hahaha
And to think Calder use to be the best track in Aus! Now it's as bad as the track in tas, the government needs to fund these tracks
show some of the 10-11 second cars seeing the same cars all the time since the event started
Is Jake's torana the same car that had the Chevy motor with 2000 hp,and is now running a turbo holden.
Yes
Hey street machine how about you show some more fords? cortina running into 7s and your still showing ALL RACE cars every episode
0:39 Benny Squid
Where is Mr Pink LH ???
Hopefully we get to see different cars tomorrow, Last year it seem to be the same cars every day and gets a bit boring...
mrrangemaster damn straight its annoying as fuck
mrrangemaster they always show the main street machine featured Holdens there is so many more cars they should shoe but they never will
@@ImThAtGuY90 yep, really turns you off it, it becomes boring as bat sh=t
Yep. You would think there’s only 7-8 cars there not nearly 300
The very opposite of the motortrend dragweek stuff where they try to show more budget builds and offbeat stuff. C'mon SM, pick up your game.
When are the classes being looked at so it isn't all about who has the biggest budget?
6 second X275 cars in the same class as a standard Golf GTi
No wonder there is only the same 5 cars in every drag challenge video.
Where is this Golf you speak of?
What da 1000 ft! Really, what gluten free buns with the hotdogs there also?
it's the track it's not in the best condition anymore especially the braking area (there's literally pot holes lol) :( gotta remember too some these cars are knocking on the 6 sec barrier especially the white xw it's done 7.000 at like 220mph.
Young Rodney needs to do upgrades to the track by the looks of it.
@@andrewkirk701 hahahahahahaha yeah ok good luck getting him to spend any $ on calder lol don't imagine the place has long before the shutdown hammer comes down on it since the housing is getting super close now, back straight there's houses only about 100 150 meters away. needs to be rebuilt down the road a bit there's plenty of room out that way, at least just a drag strip and a drift track vic's got enough circuits lol
HUM drive all the way from melbourne to Swan Hill and then to mildura yet Ballarat has a 1/8 drag circuit as well, why not stop there and do the 1/8th as part of the challenge, maybe not much people are prepared to pay those big names to drive there for free and drag their cars, lol :)
Wat
How long is Calder parks stopping area?
it'd be because of prep I'd say, plus it's not in the best condition anymore, braking area's plenty long enough they used to run top fuel back in the day. weird though cause there's cars running 8.0s on the quarter at the regular meets lol but some of these cars are knocking on 6 sec passes so i can understand why .
Is that right the lime green HQ SS did a 6.49 1/4 mile trip, now that is quick, what the hell is bubba doing, if the green HQ SS is doing 6.49 ,then he's got some competition there ?
6.49 over 1000ft not a quarter mile
@@69chojek Thank you, i thought something was off, cheers, which you can add at least 1 secound to 1.5 seconds to that time then approx. :)
@@7071t6 conversion factor is x1.2
@@STREETMACHINETV no worries like i said, around low 7's. :) In day three it was 7.50 i think ? or 7.39 ? Not sure till i go back and watch them all over again ,also where day 4 calder park friday night drags ?
@@7071t6 day 5? Not sure, video guys were pretty busy... hopefully up soon
I am just wondering if those cars which can run on a mixture of methanol are cheating meaning that the % of race fuels used compared to the E85 or 98 ron fuels used, do they check after each run or test the fuel before its going in the tank before each run, just a question, but i am sure there are people who are cheating the system ? At least some of my 1980's drag mates used to run aviation fuel mixed with super and then get a tunne which was done by Dandy engines way back in the 1980's? 50 Kw or close to 80 HP extra just because you have better bang for your buck. lol :)
There are no rules regarding fuel
@@STREETMACHINETV There you go, i thought as much, fair enough for those cars that engines are classified as methanol and injected suicide machines, like all those massive big block and massive supercharger drag engines you see, but those smaller LS and V8's with blowers or turbos cant basically run aviation fuel mixed with some 98 ron say 120 RON all up and even use racing fuels which can go upto 130 RON and you have a massive advantages compared to those who tuned the engines to run 98 or E85 etc. cheers :) maybe they needs to check the fuel before going in the tnak that way people are not cheating the real results based on the fuels and regulations for the fuels you can use and cant use under specific classifications with in ANDRA rules ?
damn bubba is lucky he didn't hit the wall 😰
Yeah cause it was close...... 🤔
I thought it was close but turns out it wasn’t that close at all my bad lol
Thumbnail is 4:10
1000ft ? WTF Calder Park is a joke now. Not enough stopping distance for cars doing 200 plus mph? How the hell did the Top Fuelers and Funny Cars doing 335 mph manage to pull up then? Must've been back when CP used to be the best in Australia. Ahhh the mid 90s i remember it like it was yesterday when they'd get 80,000 or more in for big events like the Aussie Drag Racing Nationals the Guns and Roses concert had like 100,000 or more and what an epic night that was, plus remember the good ol "Thunderdome" the massive banked oval track where Nascar and the oddity that was "Auscar" would attract huge crowds out to Calder Park on the regular. But 1000ft limit due to lack of run off is a dead set joke. LOL the 8 times ive raced there (Street Meet) i've deliberately stayed in it for well past the finish line cos the run off was so vast! We had to drive all the way to the end of the straight to exit the track. Even after running 140mph ETs it took forever to get to the uturn point. There used to be heaps of track to slow up?
It's not the length of the breaking area, it's the walls that are the issue
Im surprised that the 5-0 are not sitting out the front waiting the defect all the cars as they leave for the next track. or the Australian government has not set up some sort of task force to close it all down.
pdelmo79 yep, Just as well it’s Australia’s fastest street cars, not Australia’s fastest legal street cars.
nah it's actually not too bad down here the cops are too busy arresting or should I say not arresting imported criminals lol
@@dj-two-timing-timmy a lot of em are completely engineered and legal they change exhausts and tyres and boom legal again :) yes some of em would be questionable though lol
Yeah mate i'm proud right wing so i know what you talking about ha ha.. I am at Newcastle, you cant go anywhere without the cops defecting ya car!!
oh you only see a snippet of the shit going on down here. everyday there's home invasions, car jacking etc. everyday! glad I live way out in the western suburbs away from it all.
it's funny I've been driving modded cars for 20 yrs and only ever been defected for bald tyres lol but I don't drive like a dickhead, they usually leave u alone if your not doin anything wrong. but I can't speak for everywhere lol qlds ok for cars but they hammer 4xs and only ever lived in rural parts of nsw and now vic, lol I've been in vic for 8 months and seen maybe 5 cop cars , yet to get pulled over by one either lol it's like xmas for modded car owners lol though I've heard sunshine is bad so i'll stay away from there haha
First. Oh, sh1t! I won something! LOL. That's never happened.....
1000 ft garbage again. Just like Nascar is dying, so is Drag Racing.
yeah there's actually pot holes in the braking area lol and grass yes grass growing through the track lol shit u should see the thunderdome! vic needs a new track like sydney.
