...............Should I tell him or should you?
Excellent!!
SW!
@@MazzaAzi Distance measurement.
that's not a lot of room to slow down!! amazing sound
that's why they use 2 small parachutes that they deploy bout 4-5 seconds after they start the actual race.
@@sitsia3808 he left the starting line at the 2:10 mark of the video and went thru the traps at 2:16. Do they really pull the chutes before crossing the 330’ mark?
Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
They use carbon/carbon airplane breaks *( same style brakes a 747 jumbo jet uses )* and two parachutes
amazing sound? it just sounds like a broken tv
They way these things pick up after the 330' is absolutely insane
It seriously is our very own Tyler Jackson just got his license in one of these just a few weeks ago here in Montana, and that was one thing he couldn’t express enough is how fast and hard they just keep pulling!
Unbelievable!
Yeah, it's like a blink from the 660 to the trap, a blink seriously, if you sneezed at the 660 you'd have trouble recovering focus before you were way thru the trap and out of road on most small town strips.
Thats when it finally gets to breathe
@@DragRacingWeekly what license is it?
The turbofans spin so fast that the tip of the blades break the sound barrier and it makes that buzz noise. It sounds like a vacuum cleaner
It’s really pretty amazing science isn’t it
Hell yeah it is! Do these TOGA like airplanes do?
It's that way for steam turbines at coal burning power plants.
@@rainbowrailroadcrossing7798 probably.
@@rainbowrailroadcrossing7798 My guess is no since TOGA is just an autothrottle setting for the autopilot system.
What's the cost of a single pass in a Jet Dragster? Top Fuel teams quote numbers from 5k - 10k per run. And what's involved in a general turnaround between rounds?
There is a very large difference between jets and top fuel or even alcohol cars. They basically push their stuff to the absolute breaking point. If everything goes right on a jet and you don’t take out a hot end or anything else really the cost in pretty low mainly fuel. We aren’t wearing down tired or anything like that. Turn around time can have car ready to roll in 30 minutes. Pack shoots, refuel, check over the other miscellaneous stuff.
Jet is a helluva lot cheaper to run...
@@DragRacingWeekly WHAT IS IT THO
First on board jet ride for me. LOVED IT ! Thank you!
That’s the thing about jet engines. They are designed to run for tens of thousands of hours. Yeah they are expensive to buy and maintain but over a handful of short runs vs flying 5-10 hours a day 365 days a year in airline service or 300 hours a year in military service it’s hardly anything.
It’s only if they get overtemped or FODed out that it gets unexpectedly pricey.
I've seen these things plenty of times over the past 25 years. Such a rush to see and feel the power of those monsters. I've always wanted to pilot one just once in my lifetime!
Even being a passenger would do for me ahahh
@@waqaasmahmood5539 Agreed...
The fact you said "pilot one" instead of "drive one" Intel's some high-end, aerodynamic engineering.
Finally a head on cockpit view seeing what the driver sees! Always wanted to see down the track and the blurr of everything going past AWESOME and u got the driver inputs, camera was crooked but still ... want that view in funny cars/ Hot rods
Yeah we recently brought some glasses with a camera build in. Hoping to see how they turn out this season
Wow I’ve never realized how short the end of the track was to slow down when you’re going 300mph
That's one fast vacuum cleaner.
How fast do you think these could go if the organizers lifted the restrictions?
I remember one year here in the UK, one (Fireforce 3) sat at the line with the jet screaming for a bit longer than usual and hit 336mph at the finish. Got a slap on the wrist for it I believe.
Now I understand why spaceship is gone insanely fast with line effect on the side
I got a stroke reading this
@@JasmineLi A stroke can also mean a line, exactly like why spaceship is fast effect gone insanely line on the side 😂
@@jordanw1643 yes indeed I am go to mach 5 while having a stroke while strokeing to gone faster into spaceship line
That's a sweet point of view with the camera
Coconut !! ua-cam.com/video/w_YaUQJAQSU/v-deo.html .. ,
Back in the 80s, at the now defunct raceway Park in englishtown New Jersey, I used to jump over the fence and run out to the crash rail and take pictures as the jet cars went screaming by!!🔥🔥🤪😜
How about atco speedway
Me too, i Still can't believe it's Shut Down, So many Summer Nationals, Supernationals, Whatever they kept changing the name too. Even went to there Jet Car Nationals too, Mid 80,s - throughout the 90,s. Seen Many Mustang Shootouts there, Mustang vs. Gran National Events. Englishtown was the Place !!! I was 10 when Don Garlits Flipped Over Backwards there. I still remember that, Back in 86.
jeeeeeeez , that frame must be built with the strongest metal ever to carry that guys balls !! omg
Sounds like a J-60 with shorter duration between light off and idle. Excellent engine.
Indeed that is a j-60
2:09 When Batman's out driving and realizes that the food joint closes in 2 minutes.
How wide is your turning circle?
Yes.
Arisaga ummmm I do believe you are maybe asking the turning radius is and to be honest I’m not sure I’ve never been able to turn one of these things in one shot.
@@DragRacingWeekly Haha, cheers mate, great response!
In all seriousness though, this is insanely fast. 6 seconds that man already out the car and thinking about lunch.
Is it true that these things use like an entire 18gallons of fuel or something like that on one pull? Or am I thinking of similar shaped drag cars with like two V8 engines on each side spittin hot fire with back tires as wide as a Camry?
Yes on average we run anywhere from 13-20 gallons of fuel depending on our fire show.
I really want to see a one of these cars go against a top fuel dragster
Here you go bro: ua-cam.com/video/J3819OC-7wA/v-deo.html
It would lose...cant beat a top fuel dragster
@@1gbayfisher Rocket Dragsters are faster than top fuel.
@@henryyopp9094 haha not according to the video above.
@@toddstacy4872 The video above is a jet dragster, not a rocket dragster.
As I lifetime fan of these amazing machines I have just one request... Spool up the engine and give us a few big pops with the AB. The rapid fire stuff dilutes the experience.
1:15 Behold, your PS4 button starts electrocuting you, but you don't want to miss the current match😂🤣
Would love to see dragster doing one lap in Monaco haha
Turning radius is bigger than Monaco, the whole principality. It really be a lap *around* Monaco LOL .
Its like taking off in a fighter jet off an aircraft carrier. ✈
I would never get into something like this after seeing what happened to Richard Hammond. Totally scary for me. The drivers must have balls made of steel!
holy shit i dont know you guys do the entire race with ONE HAND :O
Jet Dragster: "So, i beat the 400 mph mark!"
Concorde: "Hold my QAV...."
Ironically this view does nothing to prove how fast these things are! I feel unless you're in the grandstands to start line and never get to feel your eyes vibrate and that is a honest thing that happens you will never understand how fast these cars are!
I couldn’t agree more. I’m video they don’t look nearly that fast but in the car I can say it’s a whole different feeling
@@DragRacingWeeklyI can only dream to feel that one day! You get to actually live it good for you man! Damn jealous would love to feel that just once! I can't imagine what it feels like I picture it to be almost like a tunnel or that must feel and look like what they make warp drive look like in movies and TV shows! HAHA I have done 200 mph on a motorcycle and things went from far to past you in a second I can't imagine what another 100 feels like that adding in the fact it took me many more seconds than your 3 seconds it takes you!
@@DragRacingWeeklywhen ESPN 2 used to cover the series I remember they would ever so often show a replay camera angle from the mechanics' vantage and you got some of the sense of the real thing but only if you have been to the real thing. The camera vibrates and the car just disappears like it is a fake video. You have to explain these cars with your senses because the brain just can not comprehend 1000HP a cylinder. From the lovely fumes during start ups and throttle burps after a teardown and rebuild. Not to mention the crowd no matter how many times they watch the different teams fire these cars up over the weekend and the days but they ALWAYS jump because they are startled I love it all!
Watched these all the time growing up for a few years and just the feel you get right before they go and after they pass you just can't be put into words but just if I try its amazing and same with the things you said
*Richard Hammond has left the chat*
That felt like a warp drive !
didn't realize that driving on that speed supposed to be one handed 😁
You have to drive these bad boys one handed one on the levers for the shoots and throttle and one on the steering wheel to keep her straight
@@DragRacingWeekly surely they could put buttons on steering wheel left and right ??
Speedometer: IM SO FRICKIN' FAST BOI
the way the acceleration stacks on must feel like you're running the biggest turbo ever lol
I can't believe he drove this thing with one hand. There's talent for you. God bless you
He only had to go straight mind you. It's not like he's at the Nurburgring
The sound of the turbine spooling up is exhilarating!
NHRA PERFORMANCE LIMITS
Jet dragsters, 320.99 mph; jet Funny Cars, 305.99 mph
If a driver exceeds these limits, the following fines apply:
FIRST OFFENSE: 1-10 mph: $500 fine. 11+ mph: $2,000 fine.
SECOND OFFENSE: 1-10 mph: $1,500 fine/six-month suspension. 11+ mph: $5,000
fine/six-month suspension.
THIRD OFFENSE: 1+ mph: $5,000 fine/indefinite suspension
Yet they'll let the top fuel ones go 330+. . . Its bigoted hate.
Yeah the multi jet Trucks have even slower NHRA mandated speed limits.
I believe that the reason that the top fuel (and funny cars) cars can go faster is they only go to the 1000'-foot mark whereas the jets go the full quarter mile.
@@aaronlarson4358 No, there's a speed limit rule in NHRA of 300mph for jet cars, even if they do go the full quarter, (which would give them longer time to accelerate to an even higher speed) its actually more impressive the top fuel cars get to 330 mph in only 1000ft.
@@aaronlarson4358 I guess I should also add: The speed on the timeslip is calculated by the time it takes to traverse a speed-trap small distance at the very end of the track, not calculated using the entire elapsed time over the entire race, There are speed traps at 60 feet, 1/8th mile and at the top end, so the drivers can see their mph at each location on their timesheet. Impressively the top fuel dragsters are approaching 300mph at 1/8 mile! (298). They accellerate much more linearly where the jet dragsters are an exponential curve, it takes a while to get up to speed (they're only about 210 at 1/8 mile) but they'd easily catch and pass even the best fuel dragster if the race were even half a mile or longer, cuz they'd be doing like 800mph by then.
id pass out from the breath taking acceleration lol
That was 👍 awesome the first time I've seen it from that viewpoint. Woo hooo
holy shit i had my volume at 1% and my dog heard this from miles away
One small move can change anything, literally
He’s doing that like he just bought snacks and came back home
Doing that must never get old, unless you're Richard hammond
Are these as quick as top fuel dragsters? At a guess I would say quicker from the half way point to the trap. Great video
The guys actually aren’t nearly as quick. Top fuel typically pulling 330mph. Jets we run around that 300 mark
Batman leaving the Batcave
Holy moly that thing went like a million mph
Godam! I never knew a car can sound like that!
this is me on my way to work in the morning.
The track is full of pain and suffering, whoever hasn't raced has not been lame.
surprisingly fast, please tell me the name of these machines.
These are jet dragsters, in the video it was Terminal Velocity jet dragster, and the Lucas Oil Missile jet dragster, but there are many others out and about.
@@aaronlarson4358 Thank you for the Information, Greetings from RUSSIA!
That looks just like a jet being catapulted off an aircraft carrier..
Only things gets go up up up away in a jet..
GREAT VIDEO!!!
❤
The sound of the engine is love T,T
Me when I see my cat after I come home: 1:12
He just pulls off & gets out like he’s stopping at the bank
Sending out Morse code to his self in the past 😂
fun fact the reason why the tracks are short is because the drag car loses fuel a little more than halfway 😳
I feel like that track should've been longer
Quarter mile is all ya need
Most tracks are a similar length, just a little longer because they don't have a giant hill to use, but the last time that one wasn't able to stop was at Perth Motorplex in 2013.
Now I know the meaning of Warp Speed !!!!
...
it's like shooting a rifle, he aims the car then he floors it.
So this is what Its like to drive a jet car!
What was the top speed archived??
“Flight 713 on runway 2-1 L you are cleared for takeoff departure to the east.”
Cleared for departure runway 2-1 left flight 713 SEEYUH
mans just teleported
"Que velocidade é essa júnior..."
≈300mph
I believe these driver more than qualified to pilot a fighter aircraft with those G's...!
My palms were sweating just watching this
Your title means he is only going 120mph , because thats terminal velocity.
Terminal velocity of a free falling human at low levels.
The video starts at 2:07.
I mean yeah but only if you don't wanna see/hear the coolest part where he spools up and then spams the afterburner to get the crowd riled up while he moves up to the line. I've always wondered what that looked like from the inside and now I know. :D
Top speed?
Warp speed Mr. Scott.
Wow lots happening in a short time.
It's a fighter jet on wheels
how fast it was going? I'm really curious
I’m not sure how fast this pass was but probably around the 260-270
I got a question
Are jet dragsters faster then other different type of dragsters
There are a lot of different types of dragsters. For example top alcohol dragster, supercomp dragster, pro charged dragsters etc, typically jets are faster than these. The really only dragster that is fast than jets are top fuel dragsters.
@@DragRacingWeekly oh ok that’s cool
When you see another car heading for the same parking spot.
Damn bro shit quick
These drivers have brass balls, including the women.
now combine jet with electric motors on the rear wheels to improve the initial boost, and you'll go really, really fast
Electric would be more than useless, just really slow the car down
@@davidaugustofc2574 typical motors - really slows things down.
Oh wow they do it with one hand lol madness
Feels like Mafia's racing mission on hard difficulty
What is Top G force that applies during this race?
Typically when we light the afterburner we pull about 4 off the line. When the shoots hit its around 5 but in the opposite direction
How long does it take to go from 0 thrust to 100% thrust? The 'spool up' time. I guess that all the time the motor is going, there is some thrust and the car is being held back by the brakes? What's the maximum thrust that can be held back by the wheel brakes? Thanks.
I think a hybrid jet-electric dragster would have the potential to beat Top Fuel. Instant torque right off the line as the jet engine gets up to maximum thrust, and then the battery runs out and the jet takes over the rest of the acceleration.
Very cool video
This dragster sounds like my vacuum
Wow. I have no desire to do that. Lol.
Believe it or not it’s an absolute blast lol it’s not like a normal car cause these things just keep pulling.
@@DragRacingWeekly I believe you. I’m just admitting that the video causes an actual adrenaline fear in me. I mean mildly obviously, but yeah.
So the button on the throttle is the afterburner?
nice video! starting like an airplane :)
I was tense just watching the exit!
Man, how can they just keep that thing straight on the lane?
It’s actually easier than you’d think. Kind of a point and shoot sort of thing. No fast movement stay calm and off the brakes and you’re good to go
Now that's a huge portion of FUCK OFF with this car. Don't you wish you had this engine in Varon
Ah, so this is how The Flash feels like
Mesin yang bagus dan cepat luar biasa👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
what kinda jet engine
Sorry to ask but what is he doing with his right hand in the beginning? all the triggering
2:09 incase you clicked this video for the title. Not 2 minutes worth of hair dryer.
aaaaaah...but would it beat my gold 1982 Honda Civic?.....I know it would be close....
2.09 is when you can start watching
Why steering wheel has that shape? This is incredible.
No room for a normal wheel. Better control this way you steer with your hands vs your arms. Makes the chance of fast movements decrease
He steered the shit out that car 😂🔥
Did he just one hand the steering wheel? Not sure how he gets in and out of the dragster with those massive balls.
Can anyone explain what he’s doing with his thumb?!
Yes so what he’s doing on the right thumb is hitting a button that sends fuel into the tail pipe and combustion chamber then with his left thumb he is hitting another button that ignites the fuel
imagine the feeling
Yeah, but how easy is it to park?
