  • Strap in and take a wild ride in the fastest cars on the planet, the Top Fuel Funny Cars and Dragsters! They have about 10,000 horsepower and reach speeds of over 300 miles per hour. I took all of these shots at Summit Motorsports Park, mostly during the Night Under Fire event as well as some shots from the NHRA nationals. Be sure to check out www.summitmotorsportspark.com/

    Been a long time since I've been to an NHRA sanctioned event. The early 70's saw 1500 h.p., then 3000 h.p. by end of the decade. I miss the sight and sound of AA fuel dragsters and funny cars at night. The added bonus was the smell of raw nitro methane at over 90% mixed ratio. Thanks for the awesome video. They are a lot faster and 10,000 h.p. must sound awesome!

      sure would love to come over to America and experience it, that is actually high on my bucket list. there is no governing body in germany that sanctions it, and it is generally banned due to it being "extremely dangerous". several forms of motorsports that you guys do (Americans seem to shove a monster V8 into just about anything and then race it :D ) are not supported and banned in germany. we also do not have any facilities akin to what you guys enjoy over there in American, meaning full blown proffessional drag racing tracks.

    I had front-row seats at the start line for one of these events a couple years ago in Indy. Of course I wore earplugs, but my whole body feel like one giant eardrum flexing and warping as it was pounded by the shockwaves. That's a weird description but it's the best I can do. And the radiant heat on my face when it was pointed towards the flaming exhaust stacks...I'll never forget that sensation. Fantastic experience.

    I started watching Garlits, Purdomme, McCullan, TV Tommy Ivo, Blue Max, ChiTown Hustler, The Bounty Hunter, Shirley Muldownley, etc. I'm my mind, no other motorsport beats drag racing. As their is so much horsepower involved, everything happens so quickly, just seconds at and after leaving the line to get it all together. No making up time later on laps.
    And yes, I probably spelled a few of the names above wrong.

      @davidtimms3201 4 роки тому +1

      A 10,000 hp nitro engine can operate at full throttle for no more than a few seconds before it self destructs. Beyond this they would maybe reach a half mile before running out of fuel (they burn over a gallon per second during a run). These cars are designed for maximum acceleration over a 1000 foot distance, and, given their rear end gear ratio, would most likely not run much faster. Perhaps in the 375 mph range, but it's only speculation.

    The sound is way off. My heart ain't beating to get out of my chest.
    300 mph in the 8th, that means they should've hit six hundred mph in the quarter.
    Maybe they ought to drop it down to a 16th mile.... Or just a burnout, whoever has the best burnout wins.
