Back when they were AA/ FA the cars were no more than 115" and the engine no more than 15% back of the front axle. Look at the Winged T to see the "excitmemt" they provided.
More 1/8 mile oppression....Its the reason I dont run anymore... Fuel cars are now limited 1000 ft after Kallitta death, I say preserve the sport upgrade the tracks stop stifling the action.
The reason the Altereds are not an official class is because it would cut into fuel Funnycar and dragster attention and the sponsors would loose advertising attention..
Thats why they banned this class from the NHRA. These beasts were so fucking squirrelly it was insane with that short wheel base and all those ponies. No one has bigger balls than these crazy bastards, and there has never been another class that is more thrilling to watch. If they had not banned this class they would be running the same motors as top fuel does today for those insane crazy guys. The back ends of these things bounce like super ball's when they unhook and get sideways.
RIP Tim! You will be deeply missed! For those of you that do not know, Tim passed away from injuries suffered on august 21st after a drag racing accident in this same car. May peace be with you and your family.
I have seen that HiVoltage car ride a wheely for like 300 feet. It was one of the coolest thing I have ever seen. My dad got it on camera. It's on the internet somewhere. Im in it pumping my fist in the air.
Yep - different kind of car. IHRA also runs Top Fuel and Funny Car. Most of these outlaw altereds are running something like a small or big block Chevy or Ford on nitro. Hay Ride uses a 427 Chevy.
RIP my dear friend Tim Hay! We sure miss you at NortStar Dragway!

@herbiesnerd today those cars would be no more squirelly than a AA T/F funny car. Most fuel atereds today are indeed on a funnt car spec chassis.

NHRA banned these nitro altered cars because they were just too crazy to drive. Bummer.
