Nowadays, NHRA is kind of boring, to say the least; those nitro funny cars and top fuel cars aren't allowed to run the full 1/4 mile; there's no burnout contests; no pit crew challenges; no innovations (like what "Big Daddy" Don Garlits had)...
Rather, what we see is too many "Force's daddy's little girls shows!"
Back years ago, NHRA Drag Racing was fun and enjoyable, with many speed innovations and driver personalities; one of them was John Force; he would amuse the fans with his famous half-track burnouts...
The guy would burnrubber from the starting line all the way down near the finish line, drinving the fans absolutely wild! But, doing so can wear out the supercharger parts; so, he doesn't do it as much as before.
...the white smoke is from the result of "burning" the rear tires; to get a good tire/track traction, smoking the tires like that produces a "sticky" tire condition (simliar to a bastketball player wearing Nike shoes in a court)...
i don't understand, last year when i went to the gator nationals the tires didn't smoke as much as they did in this video and they stayed on the throttle for the same amount of time.
@TRTC360 I've seen this video over and over a few times,and I thought the same about the tire smoke.The only thing i can come up with is that a softer rubber tire was used that day??
Anybody remember the headbutting he and Coil used to have over the half track burnouts. Coil said the car didn't need it and all John was doing was being tough on the parts. John said the fans paid to see a show plus he just loved doing burnouts. They came up with a tune up that works for them both. John ALWAYS has a stout hot rod. I see him race four times a year and he's still takin' it out to half track. He's the greatest funny car pilot to ever strap in. Love to see him run top fuel though.
John is my fave motorsports personality EVER!
