Johnathon Rinchack lol riiiiiiight. This day and age practically zero chance. Back in the day maybe. This guy just wants to feel more important than he is.
Really unbelievable that there's folks out there still running these monsters, I figured they wouldn't be so keen on racing these after what happened to Jim Nicoll and Big Daddy Don Garlits!
I just got a woody 😁. Best sound in the WORLD! Brings me back to spending my youth in the pits at ATCO Dragway, stock cars in hightstown, and racing at Bridgeport Speedway. This would make a great ringtone. So much respect between driver and his/ her Crew.
There spinning so fast that the rubber makes u delosinaol and makes thin look taller and skinny it's the same thing as a traxxis rc car if u would pick it up and go full gas
So, not to be a dick but, my dad & his buddy built BB/GD's from scratch in the 60's & early 70's that ran low 7's at 180mph in the 1/4mi on gas w/a cast iron 392 Hemi w/a 6-71 blower. I rode in the push vehicle when I was 5-6yrs old. They built them from the ground up BTW. Even built their trailers they carried it on. We had one of them in our back yard for years. Back when brains beat money. Miss those days.
NeilLB7 9” Ford rear ends are nearly bulletproof. They aren’t the problem as much as the clutch. Research Don Garlits’ clutch explosion. Cost him half of one foot. That’s the reason dragsters went rear engine.
Its so depressing that the state of racing is out the door, losing viewership while making more FIA restrictions .. im not not the biggest fan of drag racing but i remember as a kid watching those cars fly by and seeing the stadium seat PACKED
When I was younger my dad worked for some regular mechanic shop in Texas, John Force showed up for some reason and his funny car was there to I got to get inside. *I'm dead serious btw* I also sat in the Budweiser dragtser. I was maybe 7 or 8 Edit: for the Budweiser one. He took me to an NHRA race
Out of 628 comments there must be 150 about the steering wheel. How is it possible that people that have an interest in drag racing are surprised by the sight of a butterfly steering wheel?
I'm surprised that more dragsters don't have the engine up front like that. You'd think it's better, since it would allow more acceleration before the front end lifts up off the road. But then I guess having the engine at the back puts more weight on the rear tires, so they get more grip. Maybe that's more important.
Also if there's a fire or explosion it will be directly in front of you. In a top fuel dragster your protected from the engine fire since its behind you. That's why ( in my opinion ) top fuels are safer
This is the original layout of the car from when NHRA top fuel began, but even with a scatter shield, drivers would still be seriously injured when a motor grenaded...
necroposting, but, there's a reason dragsters moved from this layout to rear engine. Plenty of racers had their ankles sawn off by exploding clutches and grenading engines.
Yessir! My 35-16’s swell to 42-10’s. Fax Machine is right. They are built to swell. Thats how we gain speed with direct drive. As the tire gets bigger, you go faster. The tires are accentually the transmission.
We used to call these cars slingshots jr drags are for like 10 year old kids with 250cc engines, not supercharged v8's, see the tires get skinnier when he burnt out that's helps the car actually go faster, they get skinny at the end of the track
when starting an injected car it does not help to play with throttle, there is no fuel at the barrel valve and you are only letting more air into the engine evaporativing the alchohol. have the guy with the bottle squirt more in the bottom of the flys
How long can you run the engine before it overheats, given that there's no radiator? Do these engines run piston cooling oil jets? What kind of gearbox is that, like a dog box or a manual shift auto (epicyclic gears)?
James Eastwood these run on methanol which actually helps cool the engine. Now I wouldn’t go to a drive thru on it but you can run for much longer than on gas.
An alcohol engine can actually cool down on a hard pass. I've had it happen many times. Also at the end of a hard pass ice can form on the outside of the intake manifold, if not it's usually very cold. I used to lean the mixture out by partially pulling the fuel shutoff cable and opening a valve that created a vacuum leak on the intake manifold to make the engine build back heat in it on the return road, and keep the hood closed as much as possible between rounds to keep heat in the engine. Talk to someone at the track that runs an alcohol door slammer.
Shakes the guys hand bcuz it could be his last race. I respect him.

Was considering this as my first car but the wind noise appears to be loud. Still thinking...
just testdrive one. if it is to loud the one thing that comes close to this is a fiat multipla
You’ll never hear the wind.. but you will be super tuned into the exhaust tones.

1:43 ooh yhea let's get started
2:25 Worried about the little stones on the tyres...
2:33 Oh, never mind...😅
Great video, love the sound of that engine
you can't beat the sweet sound of a supercharged Chevrolet Small Block in a dragster
Even big block Chevrolets like this one...
I agree, but if you are referring to this dragster, this is clearly a Big Block. Just look at the valve covers and header pipes.
Still turns better than a mustang
Yay! A quarter mile drag race, that's how it's supposed to be.
@dragracing news exactly right, and easier to get out of shape and harder to gather back up on the big end.
This is more fun to watch than I thought it would be

Nothing but respect!
When the other lane threw the laundry in your face, my heart stopped. I thought the other lane started to break apart for a second!

Reminds me of if they had Gopro cameras in the 1960s. Very cool!
Balls of steel to drive these especially back then tires blow your done
Thanks for the ride!
Cool seeing it from this pov.
I love maple grove raceway I go to almost any race I can wether it’s my race or my dads
When that diff blows up.....
That was definitely fast. Congrats

Hes also sitting on top of the pinion gear and differential, if that thing blows it'll take his balls and most of his vital organs with it.
Who built that chassis
Chuck Singleton my father built the whole car all the body work the chassis and all motor work and trans work bro
My grandma
Rear end between the knees is a different kind of manly.
I thought he was going to hold on to that steering wheel with both of his hands for his dear life but i guess im wrong
Right lane walked away from him big time
*And this is just my daily driver*
2:27 look at the tires when he does a burnout, the centrifugal force is so strong that the tires get narrower
matt G that’s normal for some of the top end drag cars
Yessir! My 35-16’s swell to 42-10’s. Fax Machine is right. They are built to swell. Thats how we gain speed with direct drive. As the tire gets bigger, you go faster. The tires are accentually the transmission.
DrMarkofSinMD that’s pretty sweet, so when it happens it raises the car up too?
matt G watch a slow motion side view of a top fuel rail and you will see it raise up
Love ur name..... nice car.....
Damn!!!!! Hell yeah!!!
Why did I read this as “front engine dragster disaster”???
bro i thought i was the only one, waited for it the whole video lmaoo
He fuckin steering this beast with one hand... i can't belive 😎 nice sound when he is starts the engine pure emotion^^😍😍😍
Damn... that was fast
His opponent just rolled out his burnout to the 1/8th

@@shitbox7413 It is supercharged.

The last thing you need at Maple Grove while going 167mph is a parachute. You can stop at that track from 187 without a chute. Long and smooth.

American engeneer: i just created the perfect car.
Me: can it turn with tath tiny steering wheel?
American engeneer: is a car supposed to turn?
It basically doesn't have front grip either
Its only job is to drive in a straight line really fast. Besides i dont think youve got the grapes to drive that thing down the track XD
hey I just got my license, would this be a good first car?
This is some serious supercharger stuff haha

Imagine how hot it is in the driver seat
I'd be shitting myself if I had a differential on my crotch during a launch like this.
Hey that’s looks like maple grove
dam nice dragster

Me too lol
I also thought it said disaster lol

This driver have balls, until real diff failure.
