i knw bruce personally cause of my dad. this wreck messed him up pretty bad. now he only has 3 fingers on his right hand. but he is a very nice man. also they run 8000 rhp not bhp. not tryin to be an ass. but idk about bhp
In Pro Fuel (AA/FC or T/F) racing, it's not about the purse of the event, it's about the corporate sponsorship in which many teams, if they don't annihilate too many parts, have budgets (and paychecks) as large or larger than many NASCAR teams. It's much tougher because of the number of entrants and well-financed teams to be competitive in NASCAR but I agree that prize money easily trumps NHRA and IHRA. I happen to like them both.
I think he had 1 tire that was a winter studded tire and it grabbed more then the all season on the other side, that happened to me one time on my peugeot the one side hooked and i did a 1/4 mile wheelie got real scarry so i had to switch back to pump gas because the Alcohol just had WAY to much power .Mine you it could have been the combination of having the Huge 67hp Briggs and straton modified motor or the soup charger i had plugged into the cigarette lighter .
plastikseraph, they use very skinny front tires called "Steering Specials" because they actually help to keep the car straight by not over-gripping the racing surface as well as they are more aerodynamic and have much less tendency to 'balloon' and come off the rims. NHRA & IHRA Funny Cars use wider tires but if you saw them in person, they'd look about half the width of an average automobile tire.
Ok, so your mama is up for grabs too right? Can I laugh at your mama while she gives birth? Or does something else where she knew the mortal risks?? Hmmm, Different story now right? Now you're the douche bag! Douche bag.
they have 2 gears fast and faster after about a second u see the engine speed slow slightly they aint timed the guy has control it does have a shifter but all u do is pull it trust me i know i seen the insides of one up front
the gearing is done in the rear end, the have a reverser and at the line when u hear the engine drop A lil they have released foot clutch engaging several clutch stages
By the way,, could you even imaging shifting while going 330 mph? These cars have no shifter, no air shift either. They have 1 single gear in which the power from the engine is calibrated for conditions, fuel intake is also adjusted +or-, the gearbox is also calibrated for conditions, torque from the wheels to the pavement, and tire pressure is lowered, or raised according to track temp. If you listen, there is NO shifting going on on these cars on a fast run.
I thought they had two hydraulic clutches that were controlled by a pre-set electronic fuse, so the first clutch is used to leave the line, and then the fuse triggers the second clutch (with a longer gear ratio) after a pre set time, i think you can hear on some videos the engine note drop for about half a second while the second clutch engages :)
they are not allowed to use electronic clutch management, its all pnuematic and in multiple stages that can be applied or eased up on at different places on the track
well your right that no shifting takes place, its all clutch management, they have quick change rear ends where 2 monster interacting gears determine the ratio, tires are always 2lbs
#1, to RICDES.. If you don't like NHRA, why are you watching this?? #2 CAN WE GET SOME PEDALFEST COMPILATIONS?? I LOVE A GOOD PEDALFEST LIKE THIS ONE WAS,, would have been much better without the crash though.. :(
Oh you are so ignorant, first of all, top fuellers have no gear, and obviously you haven`t been to a race if you say this sport isnt complicated, These drivers have reaction time faster than fastest athletes in the world for example..
NASCAR and Drag racing are for people who find sports too complicated to follow. What is the big deal about who can shift a gear faster than the other guy? Come on guys...you can't be that slow down in the South can you??
Yes!! They are stupid!! If they were smart like you they wouldn't have blazed the tyres in the first place. They also needed a driver of your skill to handle 8000hp. You are my idol
You guys all love the cock. Look at you, a bunch of sissies wearing pink and saying my hot "rod" is bigger than yours. You all love the rod in your poop chute. Racing is racing...doesn't matter if you like NHRA, NASCAR,or fags in heels running track...that is real "drag racing". Why don't you just go and make out with some men...fags
Aw come on you guys,all motorsports kick ass that are rear wheel driven. Sure drag racing is up top,but what about LSR and Flattrack motorcycles and FUCK SHIT BITCH SLUT ASSHOLE !! oops I have tourettes and was in the Navy sorryFUCKOFF
Hell yeah, NHRA/IHRA drag racing all the way fuck nascar, nascar stands for Non athletic sport created around rednecks. Oh and c320coupe your lame and fuck you faggot. NHRA/IHRA make nascar look like go-carts fucker.
i like nascar and DRAGRACING nhra and ihra it dont matter to me do you know how many nascar drivers have hot rods similar to drag cars a lot and and there are some nhra that race in ihra oh and you should check the faster times ihra pro stock has over nhrapro stock it is all the same to me it is pro racing at its best all 3
I was at New England Dragway that day saw the crash in person but this is the first time I've seen the replay. Thanks for posting. Glad that Litton did not get hurt bad.
i was standing at the finish line watching...i remember after their whole trailer was taped off and tarps were over everything
