Thats Bob Motz, the eng is a J-79 out of an F4 Phantom. He a a small APU that starts the 79. The white smoke is fuel being dumped into the afterburner but hes not igniting it. The Larger Flame show occurs when he lowers the rpm and dumps a chit load of fuel in the burner. Seen it as long as 30+ feet out the back. Words cant describe the sight and sound, ya just have to see it in real life ;)
I've seen Canadas FX and Rolling Thunder compete against each other, two years in a row. These jet cars also use an engine out of a Phantom 4, but I wonder if it's the same engine size. Do Phantom 4 jet engines come in various sizes or just one size? The engine in the truck above appears to be bigger in diameter and shorter. It's quarter mile time is not much different from the Canadian cars. That truck really rocks. Its propelled down the track.....effortlessly.
I know Brad and Bruce. Their cars use and engine called a Westinghouse J-34 (much smaller). The J-79 that many of these big trucks use are from General Electric and a WAY bigger than the 34's. Hope that helps you out. The F4 Phantom only used the J-79's
Kool, yes. Thats their names. They came to my state in 2005 and 06. Wasn't there last year, but I hope to see them compete in 98.
Those engines, as small as they are compared to the J-79s, were very intimidating, loud, powerful ... to say the least. EVEN WHEN I stood on the bleachers, about 100 plus feet away , the roar of those engines would create a sensation in my chest!!
The hell with the Lamborghini....never seen a Lamborghini powered by a jet...seen him run a couple times under the lights well they turned the lights out and let him run off his headlights...freakin awesome.
Actually a jet engine doesn't need to warm up. They get up to operating temps within seconds of starting. You are right about the diesel fuel however. Jet-A and diesel are virtually interchangable and aviation fuel is just refined a bit more, but essentially the same stuff. So why all the delay and smoke? So nobody would notice how boring it would be otherwise.
u got it going on bob motz

@SoccerBoy77 this truck and shockwave have raced before and this one won........so who's better?
killer420ization 1 year ago
@killer420ization perhaps it won the race, but as for being impressive, just 1 engine and a shaking cab.....not very impressive.

yeah they need to warm up, they actually run on diesle fuel instead of jet fuel, thats why there is so much smoke during the engine warm up.
