They've been called 'funny cars' since the 1960s, because the entire body flips up to allow the crew to work on the car when it is in the pit area and staging lanes.
@Draxindustries1 Do not insult my sport. Wait till you've actually worked on/with a jet car before you dismiss it as hillbilly or those who drive them as pricks. A jet car is one of the most beautiful pieces of machinery on this Earth, making them go faster is a tough job, and driving them requires a great deal of skill and dedication.
@gasmaskhalo3 they do but this was quite a while ago when they were not as fast, and he performed an early shut off so he never quite reached top speed, which would have been around 270-275 in 1990.
One would think that the people who builds these damn cars would understand the laws of physics. Hello Newtons third law. The shute on the car put just enough opposing force to lift the front of the car. Still the crash is pretty damn cool
George was driving one of Roger Gustin's race cars, Roger had a serious crash as well in 1992 @ Atco NJ during their Anniversary show, That was one of the reasons if not the reason for his retirement from driving jet funny cars
Thye got the name funny car because of the funny apperance from the fiberglass cover they put on it. The only reason he was able to walk away is thanks to the safety features and safety regulations that are required for those cars.
@nwalker0449 the term funny car comes from the days before they had the lift up bodies. In order to get around NHRA rules, racers (and car manufacturers) were altering the wheel bases on the cars for more traction (this also resulted in incredible wheel stands). Google "altered wheel base funny car" sometime, and you'll see they looked kinda "funny" as in "not quite right"
dude that would be badass if he put some wings inside the body on the side of the car, and he made a good run, and everybody thought he was through. Then he pops the wings out and lifts of.....Badass
WAS YOU AT ADVENTURE BOUND SCHOOL OUT-SIDE OF CHARLOTTESVILLE V.A. 1985 THRU 1987 ? IF SO CONTACT ME @ merishane ON YOU-TUBE !!! CSC/09 IN LYNCHBURG V.A. !!
it AMAZES ME how the fuck do they survive shit like that on the racetrack going 260MPH, but on regulars streets people cant even survive accidents at 50MPH, wtf is up with that shit?
Its because race cars have roll cages, five point harnesses, etc. There built to withstand bad crashes, because a bad crash is to be expected in such a sport. Normal cars arent equiped with any of that stuff, so they get crushed, and people are ejected from their cars. A roll cage alone would save thousands of lives if all cars came with them.
it comes down to engineering and costs. racing cars like that have hundreds of thousands of dollars poured into them which results in them being safer. you can also see this in videos of exotic car crashes where the drivers can basically walk away from the scene and survive seemingly fatal accidents.
idk it really depends. most of the high end cars have roll cars because of the fact that they can roll, most manufacturer's arent going to put a roll cage into something like a taurus because of the fact that its more difficult to roll and personally thats some social darwinism going on if you are driving stupidly enough to roll a car like that. BUT im not a manufacturer so i dont know why they dont just put them in all of the cars.
I don't think a qualified aeronautic engineering would make comments like yours. Yes, what I'm saying is that your a lying piece of shit. I alomost feel sorry for your sorry ass. Almost!
And hey, why is your name better than mine?
BTW did you look up the word prove?
It's ironic that you're so confided you own me coz in reality you're scared of real life, so you hide behind a pc screen pretending to be something that you will never be.
WHAt the fuck!!! U JUST SAID THE "IT" DIDNT MEAN THE PARACHUTES AND NOW UR SAYING IT DOES!!! UR LIKE A FUCKING CHILD THAT CANT MAKE UP HIS OWN MIND I BET UR A FUCKING WHORE!!!!
ooooo k there.... if you pull the parachute too soon the parachute WILL act like an airplane, its filled with too much air too quicky and it stops almost dead from that force, so it lifted the car off the ground. Period. Go call ME some names now you nitwit.
wow. you can be really dumb and not listen properly. If you think logically as well you will realize that later the guy mentions the body of the car, therefore he was talking about the car not the parachute. I think you need to lesson carefully to the commentary or ask someone close to you what it means, cause you clearly have problems understanding what it actually says.
thats why it has a jet motor on it but they are a little to lite at the front end if he waited to pull the parachute and waited for it slow down on its own it would not have lifted up like that
Before another person says "that is not funny,he could have died" or "how could that be funny?". The car itself is called FUNNY CAR, so the person who posted this is not saying it was a funny crash. people need to know more about the type of cars there are
