@Brent It's"kitty litter" some kind of oil or fluid absorbant. 1 big wreck like that and the track us ruined for hours mist if the time. The guy with the bag was probably a newbie, because you have to move the car first away to avoid any fire hazard. Spillage removal is the least of your worries.
I like how these cars' engines can fail 1/3 of the way down the track, pull a chute and still obliterate whatever numbers you have on your street car slip.
Theres a reason it blew up... Obv answer to a flawed question push something past its limit just for bragging rights? No thanks i enjoy my 60k build at 7's
Hello sexies. I am rapper. I make good music's. Please kindly check out my INSANE rhyme skills on a dime. Haberdashery monastery ancillary procrastinator! I know I am best. Please send daddy monies.
please tell me that that guy at the end at 4:45 started blowing with his mouth to cool the engine...hahaha thats what i saw and i laughed my head off...
i maded drag cars about 3 years ago, and when i just was dragracing for fun my engine exploded really hard, all the cars that were after me, were send home because cleaning the track would take more than 4 hours, car parts were every where
InRealityWeTrust Yep, went to an airshow once and the announcer kept talking and talking and talking. I know it's their job but damn......I could just see the interview for a job like that. Do you like to talk? YES! You are hired!
InRealityWeTrust HA HA HA YEP! I'm sure they get paid. Although I might do it for free. I actually think I could do better. Announce the car, maybe a couple of cool little facts and then their times and MPH. That would be about all I think would be needed. "We have A LITTLE TOUCH OF GAS lining up against GET SOME. A LITTLE TOUCH OF GAS is running a 537 C.I. with a blower making around 900 hp . GET SOME has an old school MOPAR 440 running a 1150 CFM Holly. Here we go folks! WHEW! What a pass! That is what it's all about folks. Straight up racing! GET SOME comes out on top with a 5.45 with a 6 at 143 MPH and A LITTLE TOUCH OF GAS came in at 5.46 with a 2 at 142 MPH! And we have the bikes coming up next!
InRealityWeTrust Love the guy with the mic. this is just some ole southern fun, tradition stuff. Wrestling style, with guy playing along a bit. Great theater!
+InRealityWeTrust Our car/trailer were parked right underneath a loudspeaker at Sears Point one time and halfway through the day that damn speaker stopped working. I think someone opened up the junction box on the bottom of the pole and cut the wire.
As usual I feel a bit bad about feeling so good when I'm watching such cool engines blow up. But I can't help it. I just love it! It's very spectacular and the video is great entertainment.
move aside all,there"s a new driver in town called the armchair bandit.on his first meet he is going to smash five new pass times all on the same set of pistons,rings,and valve train and two gallons of fuel and no burnout.why,because hes learnt it all from youtube.god bless this legend.
"Flame-out" has to be the best description of an engine blowing up ever spoken. Literally, it let the flames out in a way it wasn't supposed to. Flame comes out - flame out. I love American English sometimes.
+Shane Gilliland Nah. Flameout just means you lost combustion, which could be for a variety of reasons. 'Compressor stall', where you have loud banging noises and flames from both ends, is when you're screwed.
Burst plates are a thin, gasket like plate in-between the supercharge, and heads that will rupture under a certain PSI. So for instance if a failure happens, and too much boost, or back pressure occurs the plate will pop, preventing internal engine damage.
Do you know much about what Damage actually happens to the engine when this plate actually goes? like shrapnel in the cylinder, damage to the charger etc...
Damien O'Brien The plate is designed to "POP" at certain pressure levels, and only small sections actually break to vent the pressure. This means that no debris will end up being sucked into the engine as they only pop at such high pressure the pieces get thrown quite far.
1. Half of these "expensive racing engine fails" are just the burst plates popping off a supercharger. This is very common and designed to be a safety feature that stops catastrophic engine failure due to high pressures. It's kind of a weak link designed to fail first so that you know your pumping up the pressure too high. 2. The other bunch are carby backfires, which are spectacular, but hardly expensive fails... I'm sure after a few checks, carby clean, and rebuild, probably new jets and such, any repairs to body that popped off during the incident.... After all that i'm sure they did a few more runs that night. 3. Turbo fails are real, and expensive.... No disagreement there 4. To the people carrying on about NOS being spray with flames present. This is not a problem, NOS is only a potent fuel when under pressure. but the purging system is a cool gas that is very likely to extinguish a fire rather than aggravate one. It's not uncommon for racers to use a small blowtorch on their NOS bottles before a run to heat them up. This stops them from completely freezing over to the point where you can operate the open/close valves and such.
Rainbow Dolphin No, it fucking *ISN"T* It is not a form of fuel. It doesn't burn. It is used to burn *additional* fuel. That's why nitrous kits have 2 friggin' solenoids.
What really pisses me off is that the drivers keep driving down the center of the lane, especially when they are leaking nitro meth, oil and gasoline, it ruins my day and sure as hell ruins everyone else's. it takes a long ass time to clean up the track after that.
Yup. Exactly why I dont hit the 1/4 mile. Its an endless money pit. I dont care how much money you feed your car, There will always be someone faster in your bracket. Its just the way it is.
Thats why you have to pick a class and do bracket racing. You can do it very cheaply, and by very cheaply I mean like 30-40k for your initial setup then maybe plan on 5k a year after that.
DGOfTheCentury I know. lol. I was being an ass. Most drag cars are carbed because at wide open throttle there's no real advantage to running Fi instead.
Jan C Garcia Otero I think you mean explosions and no FI would not have prevented explosions unless they were limiting the actual engine potential. These cars are building so much force that material failure is inevitable.
piston you may kiss the valves
Lol

Make a bigger fortune selling parts.......
Make an even bigger fortune by renting out supercars 🔮
DAMN RIGHT!!!! LOL

+Darude Sandstorm I thought the same thing. He blew his motor and still ran a 5, which is damn near 7 seconds faster than anything I've ever put up.
joshuaburris2007 If my engine blew up and I still manage a 5 second run... I wouldn't lose the smile on my face lol.
you'd lose $50,000 of engine though!
It be fun to see these as street cars 😂

Even with blown up motors, these cars are still faster than my truck.
consolation prize, at least I know I get better gas mileage. :(
Yeah, you know you're in the big league when 250 mph means you got your doors blown off by the other guy.
Oh come on... They are getting at least 70 gallons to the mile.
Nice reaction of the crewman to hit the kill switch on that throttle hang

3:37 when you mash every button on the controller
😂😂😂😂😂
Love how at 2:36 you can actually hear parts bouncing down the track.
I love playing the "bang" game with these videos. See how close to the actual explosion you can say bang lol
I predict that exactly $262,370.47 was spent in new parts in this video.
Some of the parts by them selves could cost half that
A railfan who likes cars also, thumbs up
Cars are ok. I'm kinda neutral with cars.

4:00 What exactly are the odds of both cars having catastrophic engine failures?
Pretty decent
the total amount of money blown in this video is staggering
Da Trick is tryin' to keep all the smoke and flames from getting outta da assembly thus becomin' PARTS ! Thanks Hillbilly for the great uploads...

The proper term for that is "Schadenfreude."

Next time on "When engines sneeze."
I'm sad... most of those cars blew their engines part way down the track, and still ran a faster quarter than me :(

These cars have so much raw power, I would be more surprised that it doesnt blow up
the blowers sound even better when they are poppin off durin a run
Sound like a Siren😂
The one at 4:13 is by far my favorite however =D

We need a part two! More pistons dodging aeroplanes
4:12 when people think racing their daily’s a good idea
A lot of these fails are actually burst plates popping.

1. Those are nitrous backfires...not carb backfires. They do night-ending damage.
2. Nitrous is not a fuel, potent or otherwise. It is an oxidizer.
entropy156 It's most definitely used as a form of fuel. Just like adding some jack to your coke.
Rainbow Dolphin No, it fucking *ISN"T* It is not a form of fuel. It doesn't burn. It is used to burn *additional* fuel. That's why nitrous kits have 2 friggin' solenoids.

have no respect for people that know there dumping oil and continue down the center of there lane for the length of the track
if you are going 200 MPH you are not stopping on a dime. /FACT
No shit dumb ass. You don't have to stop. Just go to the side do that Lane isn't closed for the rest of the day so they can clean it
richard barnes
Are you going to steer towards a concrete wall at 150+ mph with flames and hot oil in your face? I doubt it.
It's not as hard as you think I've done it on two occasions. One at 170+. There is more than enough room at a good track.
Right?! Get the fuck out of the groove!
"Steve moved faster then he did"...I'm sorry but that's funny as hell 😂😂😂😂
Why does it sound so good when it blows up though 😂
What really pisses me off is that the drivers keep driving down the center of the lane, especially when they are leaking nitro meth, oil and gasoline, it ruins my day and sure as hell ruins everyone else's. it takes a long ass time to clean up the track after that.

I completely agree
That's why there is drifting, less expensive but still a adrenaline rush. Well expect for the tires, and sometimes body repair.
Lol very true
Nice comment.
Thats why you have to pick a class and do bracket racing. You can do it very cheaply, and by very cheaply I mean like 30-40k for your initial setup then maybe plan on 5k a year after that.
Chucks not very happy lol
that announcer at the end. poking the already pissed off bear.
What with the insane amount of horsepower they put out and the stress they're under, I think it's amazing and unusual when these engines DON'T fail.
At 1:39, put the gas tank directly in front of the engine, smart idea. (Rolls eyes)
Streamlined Steamroller Thats because when u crash, u are 100% sure that you WILL die... :P
LOL. You would get a little crispy.
Streamlined Steamroller Nearly all funny cars have the gas tank in front of the engine, there is really no where else to put it on the frame.
Part of the reason (on a funny car anyway) of putting the fuel tank in the front, is that the G force pushes the fuel toward the engine
Good design.

I'm guessing that the throttle was stuck wide open at 3:44?
its juju...not jew jew. wow.
No, its jew jew. haha
Depends on the fuel actually, you get into nitromethene and yeah it can "runaway".
Nitrous car, he was banging through the motor and either the switch or solenoids malfunctioned and let it keep spraying instead of a quick shot.
