My favorite part is :28 where the previous race starts. Looks like a straight line from the stands but those things be all over the track. Great driving!
I was the tech inspector at a local track. If I EVER saw such crap at OUR FACILITY I would have called the owner and helped his goon squad escort the moron off the premises. Fortunately, that is the only instance I have ever witnessed of stupidity on parade of this magnitude. Now I'm glad I DON'T race anymore, if this is an example of the nature of the sport now days.
@Karpiel73 Thanks! The one on the left isn't used...the middle button is a rev-limiter (6500rpm) during the burnout...and the one on the right is the Transbrake button.
DaGingerHeadMan Not sure why idiots like you try to correct a statement that was never made, I never said funny cars use powerglides or top fuel dragsters. You do know the term dragster refers to more than just one class right? There are multiple classes and levels of dragsters. The title of this says "top dragster". Cars in that class do use powerglides, not saying everyone of them do but powerglides are still widely used in the drag racing world. If you were to say top fuel dragsters dont use powerglides you would certainly be correct. But your blanket statement that no dragsters use powerglides anymore is simply factually wrong. Either you have never been to a drag strip or havent been to one since the 80's if you dont know this. Get your facts right dip shit.
@DaGingerHeadMan lol what? You were the one saying dragsters don't use power glides any more You'll probably disagree since you want to make this guy look so bad but then why did you delete your original comment?
...and not knocking you're preference of racing. If you really race Indy style cars, you guys are nuts! I'll jump in a top dragster and hurl myself through the lights in 6 seconds before i jump into an open wheel indy car! I think the following is true of most drag racing fans- they love their 'home' sport, but have much respect for other forms of racing. We all love the smell of rubber and racing fuel. One love!
I've noticed in both runs i've viewed, you are losing oil pressure at throttle off, after the lights on the big end,, the oil pickup is either becoming uncovered due to the g force of deceleration, or a lot of oil is trapped in the upper portion of the engine. i don't believe it is getting whipped to froth from windage or your performance would be suffering a bit... clearly, your performance is right on the money...check out the oil control issue, don't need starved parts..keep up the good work... :)
hey i dont drive a dragster but my camaro has about 900 hp. always keep your head facing down the track, ALWAYS, circulate your breathing (through nose out mouth) while staging, helps keep focus, and lastly never think something wrong is going to happen.
I didn't want to cut the burnout out of the video, and the other guy was trying to check his cylinder head temps on the line, which is what took so long...
@IndyCarDriver To each their own, brother. We have competitors also, "pit-stop strategies" too...only in-between rounds...having to perform with the utmost consistency every round. I wouldn't say one style of racing is better, because I know each has it's perks...but it sure is a rush pulling over 3 g's off the starting line, trying to steer this beast straight all while reaching over 200 mph, then dumping the 'chutes to stop it safely. Thanks for watching though, man! Good luck to you!
forgive the total ignorance but, do you burn out the tyres to get grip? i dont understand why lots of drag racers drive up and down before they are released..
As a christian I'm hesitant to say it, but I wouldn't want Jesus to fly through the airbox or engine, or get away and destroy a tyre in the process. To me in the car it would be a major distraction. Better let Him take the wheel ;)
im suprised jesus didnt only leave the building but get sucked down into the firey depths of hell under enormous boost and spat out the exhaust... amen
They go so fast, I imagine they must focus toward the end of the track to not be distracted by how fast they are going. Still, I don't see how they can control the machine under those G forces. I was on a simulator once that produced 3 Gs and it was hard to raise my hand and trying to turn my head to the side was actually painful.
It's because they have to be extremely fit to drive under those conditions. Racing drivers, whether they drive in F1, WRC, NASCAR or dragsters, are some of the fittest people in sport because of the constant G-Forces pulled on them and be conscious enough to do that over long periods of time for F1, NASCAR, WRC, Le Mans, etc.
I've never seen an obese driver in those categories except maybe Tony Stewart - at 5' 9" 190 pounds, probably could spare 20 pounds For comparison, Jeff Gordon is 5' 8" 150
I'm here in BR I'm going tomm to pickup a Dakota swing arm dragster with a bbc motor , guy said its making 950-1000hp I've never driven one before I come from dirt track racing sprint cars mainly got any tips to help me out ? Thanks
If you go faster then your dial you Break out and your basically SOL. And if you give away to much speed by dumping, whomping, etc. you lose by giving the stripe back. Making split second decisions is what drag racing is about. whether its the right or wrong one, only the scoreboard will tell.
I like how he has a cross on his car. God bless.
Might meet him if something goes wrong
Left : Not Used
Middle : Burnout Rev Limiter
Right : Transbrake

next car goes down the track blows tire and flips 5 times cause of accident a 2 inch jesus was stuck in tire

nunyer beeznaz Jesus Christ, that's a little bit of an over reaction don't you think?
But if you hang a crucifix from your roll cage, you go .5 miles an hour faster. It's a scientific fact.
+russell cragman no but the mainstream media attempt to convert you all to Satanism is working perfectly well i see
@Karpiel73 Thanks! The one on the left isn't used...the middle button is a rev-limiter (6500rpm) during the burnout...and the one on the right is the Transbrake button.
watching an in car cam made me wanna drive one even more~
Haha, jesus have left the party :D
2:03 the steering wheel looks like its ganna break off
Legend has it Jesus is still flying through the air after letting go during that pass.
Nice touch with the cross necklace hanging!!! Godspeed, friend!!!!!
Man, i like to watch the minutes before the launch to feel the same tension that the driver are feeling.
Powerglide. 50 year old technology still works best.
+causeimbatmaaan Sometimes old school is the best way to go.
DaGingerHeadMan Many dragsters use powerglides, if you dont know that then youve never been to a drag strip.

Back in 2004 my dad had a blown top dragster that ran 6.00 at best. We won the championship that year
+Josh Worley oh god
Racin' with the Lord, I love it! Cool vid!
jesus has left the building
nice run bro. Love the cockpit view
I've made many a pass at No Problem. Enjoyed the video.

Or simply a faulty oil pressure gauge.
@@AdamKyleAnderson x to doubt.
Wow, thats a VERY FAST RAIL JOB! John P.
Yes. To heat up the tires, which makes them stickier for more grip.
When she says you can come over and her parents gone
"Jesus has left the building!" Great video, man, thank's for sharing.
My dad has a pro mod that go's 5.75 at 249 mph
A transbrake will hold the car steady by locking First and Reverse together. It is used so you can come up on the RPM's before launching.
Fn hell that looks like fun. Theses guys make it look easy. I've been as fast as 9.42 @ 141 and that's enough for me... For now
Sheesh, I got a adrenaline rush just from watching that.
I like the cross.

They do it to heat the tires up and make them hot so they expand and get better grip... Hope that answered your question ;)
@KartingHD , Yes, it is raw r5 1080p...
nice video!
The crucifix THO Jesus is with you
That Jesus just wouldn't ride along with a speed demon... Way to go bro
Jesus says , " Fuck this shit im out "
@DALYuseTAYLORMADE Thanks, i've been racing since I was 8 years old...

DAMN that was fucking fast
Jusus must have the ride of his life!
Love the video but dang I wish go pros would get better audio
awesome and that's great he has Jesus and crosses with him. Amen brother!
Vid starts at 2:17
Yea man, I love it!
RIP HEADPHONES USERS!
Once a Catholic, always a Catholic!
One 5 min confession brings you back to communion with Jesus! J.M.J :)
Jesus was like, "screw that! i'm out of this danger zone!" lol
My grandpa races TD he was a division champ last year. His fastest was 6.04 231 MPH
Thats my home track
This is so fast that Jesus just flew off
Beautiful rail. What are the three orange circles on the steering wheel?
ok, 1080p it is. since you said please.
Jesus has left the game
I found jesus he was at the 60"light
i dig the new K&R box. how do you like it?
i have one in my top dragster as well i love it
What size of engine do you have? And how much horsepower?
How much are these to run on average? My father told me back when he used to run alcohol dragsters, it would cost ~$800 just to start the motor.
Wow, what a way to let go of the trans brake. Looks very inconsistent.
People probably say the same about me though.
forgive the total ignorance but, do you burn out the tyres to get grip? i dont understand why lots of drag racers drive up and down before they are released..
What transmission that this dragster use? No shifting at all during race..
Skip to 2:15 to actually see it happen. Otherwise, you're waiting for that long.
That cross look dangerous there.
Pardon the ignorance but why does it have bicycle tires up front?
@black8oy8thst Shane Lejeune from Eunice, LA built the engine. He owns a shop called Craig's Automotive.
As a christian I'm hesitant to say it, but I wouldn't want Jesus to fly through the airbox or engine, or get away and destroy a tyre in the process. To me in the car it would be a major distraction. Better let Him take the wheel ;)
Ggyfu
Thanks for the ride, sweet..
no its to make the rubber sticky and to put down a layer of hot rubber on the tarmac. not for the tires to expand lol
"where's jesus?"
"back there".
I thought the cross was a stupid idea
I meant bad idea,in case he crashes, that's one more think flying around at sudden decelerating. Sorry, bad choice of words on my part
LMAO !!!!!
what,and make another you ??
legends say jesus still looking for car
jesus flew away
what are the three orange buttons on the steering wheel
i watched this in 240p because i can
i got a tip! dont buy a dragster with mufflers and a swingarm and 37 computer to control how quick it is!
im suprised jesus didnt only leave the building but get sucked down into the firey depths of hell under enormous boost and spat out the exhaust... amen
And i don't see what's fun in a bunch of cars going round in a circle for an eternity
thanks
Jesus has left the building xD

Jesus got pinned, then resurrected to dragster heaven!
he did go before the green though
yeap, gotta have Jesus on your side when you're in a situation like this.
hotpapayasalad Yeah man! Jebus will hold the dragster steady with his giant transparent hand!
not jesus but jeuse
basically it's the thrill of controlling an explision up to 500 km/h
why don't you have to hold the transbrake to go in reverse if you have a powerglide?
it was a jump start, dnf for me or not?
the engine is still working after the run?
What is the big red buttons??? Emergency stops???
dont you ever double bulb me Chase haha

Insane
Jesus Christ how much g forces is he taking during acceleration?
How was the dragster running after
how much horsepower and torque do these things have?
What motor do you run?
what the hell just happened ??? I think I missed it
jesus is with you. good :)
Was*
Anyone notice the cross hanging?
not even jesus could hold on
