    Hey Larry, do you remember the 2003 U.S Nationals that got rained out?
    I was only 13 at the time. My dad and I came from Toronto, Canada and wanted to walk through the pits one last time after the races were canceled. It was absolutely POURING rain like I've never seen before.
    As we walked by your trailer, soaked, you waved us under your trailor canopy and talked to us for half an hr until the rain slowed a bit.
    I'll never forget that moment.
    By the way, this ride would be incredible.

    • @souocara38able

      I would guess that you can forget about 1/4 mile runs. Since they dont race 1/4 now they dont have the parts, the tune up. the experience.
      If it's not safe for the pros why would it be safe for a passenger? It wouldn't be safe and it would be feast for attorneys.

    Is that one cylinder supposed to be blowing smoke like that?

    • @LarryDixonRacing
      @LarryDixonRacing  Před 3 lety +1

      That is actually fuel not smoke. During burnout there is not much load on engine and often times it will put cylinders out from an overly rich condition. Top fuel cars will run a fuel pump that at wide open throttle it will pump 100+ gallons per minute. As soon as you close throttle at end of burnout cylinder will light right back up.

      It’s going. Just not with them. We have insurance. K&K. The best in motorsports. Same as the Indycar Experience. Initially I had the blessing to proceed with the past president. The hurdle is their in-house counsel. She is worried someone will go for a ride and have a heart attack and die and they will be sued. Her words not mine. 5+ years, approaching 50 runs, no such case. Just incredible once in a lifetime memories. Thanks for commenting.

    I think the NHRA would let you run events if they get some $ out of it. Plus what about the IHRA or other sponsor events. Since the NHRA didn't think about it, they are against it. As far as safety goes, He ( Larry) would never build an unsafe car, he's also at risk. But you take the same risk getting on a L.A. freeway at speed. The odd's of an accident are there, the danger is there, but having a past champ at the wheel and a car built for one reason with safety in mind, the odds are with you for a safe, exciting ride. People with health problems should be checked out of the picture, no need for a person to " take the last ride of his or her life" knowing that the speed and the forces brought forth from 10,000 H.P. could be fatal. So in closing I think it's up to the person that is healthy and passes a test, pays the fees and get's in on his or hers own volition, then it can't be as bad as a loop de loop rollercoaster. Hope I didn't go too far.
