Can't believe all those people being allowed to stand around the line at Bithlo (Orlando track, which isn't in Orlando) track. This one of the better videos on YT. Not a lot of in between fluff.
Almost 19 minutes of lottery winnings flushed down the drag strip. I'm glad I only have a beer budget bracket car that doesn't try to kill me every pass.
I run a rear engine dragster in the 1/4 @180mph in 7.50 sec all day and it it does not try to kill me. It may not be as sexy as the door cars but it is fun to drive. Why the hell are all the people so close to the starting line? Not too safe!!
Haha, back in the 80's, I was on my stock 12 sec bike, and in time trials would go against a 9sec dragster with a 2 speed trans, I'd get so far out on him off the line, just before the thousand ft Mark I could hear him coming up on me, then fly by me like I was standing still and fly thru the traps. His top end speed always amazed me.
What gives with all those people on the starting line? That's getting to be like the normal. Back in the day we couldn't even stand in the staging Lanes. I've been the Milan Dragway it night it all those people are in the staging lanes and radon the starting line with a pint of whiskey in their back pocket. I think NHRA should take a stance on that. If that dude driving at race car had that thing in Reverse he would kill 50 people. It's so goddamn ridiculous and stupid.

I quite drag racing for many years because I got tired of some little Napoleon telling me where I could stand, park, or pee at the track and I was a owner/driver and it was worse for “my crew.” I could understand it a full field national event but parking me out in lower but scratch however when the National events or Divisional events are dam near empty and I could park on the pavement and not in the dirt or my crew members could not park in the pit side parking I got tired of the Bull Manure. I am not into street racing for any number of reasons. In short the NHRA and Chicken Littles of the world need to change otherwise there will be no NHRA drag racing. Just look at the pro categories it a joke and the racing sucks compared to the average well promoted no prep event. Look how many people and cars come to MIR for import vs domestic and how good the racing is. Wake up NHRA SS (Safety Sallies) if you girdle a tree it dies and. The NHRA has been doing that for decades and it is showing. It is time common sense returns to drag racing uses some of the starting line RD can be a bit much but on the other hand so is the NHRA heavy handedness in Horta middle ground needs to be found to rekindle the sport.
Yup, Don Garlits said "Winning on horsepower alone is very expensive." (Paraphrasing of course) Looks like trying to win without a wheelie bar is too! A lot of expensive paint on those guardwalls.
these are even top fuel.. lol shit I'm running 10's in a 450 horse 1600 pound car... but I guess they're inexperienced and think they can, rather then know they can.. locker rear end would solve most of the car going squirrely off the line.. detroit locker 13 bolt in mine, hit gas both lock up... no going sideways at 3000 rpm of the line lol

@@Jefreeman13 you cant keep running your deep pockets trophy queen down the line without constant upkeep overhaul and checking. No excuse for wheelie stands, wheels falling off, rocking at the line, and shifting gears like granny on possum juice.
@@tellunyt1879 I don't see why anyone wastes their time, building drag cars out of fox body Mustangs. Ford has never had any luck with their big block engines, they can't take high rpm. And the blue oval made some of the most dangerous cars on the road. The Pinto, Mustang II and the Explorer were all firebombs.. I've seen several Mustang II's break completely into two pieces. The Explorer is known as the Exploder, because it's prone to burst into flames. If you see a fast Ford, it's built Ford tough with GM stuff. Here's an interesting fact. The Ford coyote engine was developed by an ex GM R & D guy.
I can’t believe track officials allow all them people on the starting line. If someone gets seriously hurt or worse, that track will be out out business
John Force. blown up more cars in PROFESSIONAL top fuel league... part of the sport. shit happens. and theyre not doing it intentionally. you can't believe? you've never heard of accidents? wow
why are there so many people at the starting line???? where i race you can have your pit crew and that’s it. usually no more than 3-4 people. what’s with the entire crowd being back there?
How much boost you running Me: all of it How much nitrous you running Me: all of it How much air you plan on getting Me: all of it also , go big or go home
Obviously not, or understand their concept. Must take forever between rounds for the clean up. Everyone must run for the concessions stand, so the track allows it.
@3:27 it reminds me of a sad day many years ago at Bakersfield California's Fomoso Dragway were the cars got out just past the 60 ft mark and just turned into the gaurdrail . there must have been 8 or more cars totalled before they shut the track down . one was my buddies 64 plymouth superstreet car with a huge tire and low horsepower , only running 10.90's but had been racing for 20 years and never ever got loose anywhere , it was a 4 link coilover and hooked perfect. he flipped and destroyed the car in a split second . then a 55 corvette that had been racing in So calif. forever in supergas , pulled up and did the same exact thing , and then another , and another , it was insane !
@@Creamcheese550 That sucks to hear , I hope he's okay . I live about 3-1/2 hours from there , Only been there 1 time but it was packed with very fast cars .
Track prep is usually really good there. But the right lane was loosing it. (It is FL) Zombie wagon is a good dude & racer and has been racing out here for yrs. Races are over in matter of seconds. Things happen fast and we all want to win at the end of the day. Where Mistakes made?!...yes! but that's racing and the other driver fully understood the consequences of pulling into those beams next to another opponent.
That guy weaver - I get your point but just like when we are out on the road there is also a reasonable expectation that the driver next to you will use REASONABLE judgement. I stand by my point that the driver of the wagon was selfish, reckless and irresponsible. If you don’t respect your own car you should have at least SOME respect for the guy next to you.
@@danmyers9372 I agree with you Dan!!! It's one thing to crash your own car because you didn't lift when clearly not hooking up, but to crash into another car is irresponsible no matter how it's looked at!!! Keep Rocking!!!
@@danmyers9372 Totally agree. Wreck your car, okay. But to risk taking out another man's pride and joy, baby, sweat equity, dream, is a totally different thing. I understand its 1/8 mile and a lot happens fast, but know when to lift.
This is a great video! When you smash your oil pan, or wreck your car, don't turn it off and just keep going down the track. That way you can spread your misery all over the place for every one else to clean up. For cars you see here that are professionally fast, I hope I don't line up next to any of you that can't figure out the sarcasm above. And also, like the vette at 4:50, when heading for the wall, lock up your brakes to ensure you hit that wall. And, one more bit of advice, if you get out of it, always get back into it to increase your chances of wreaking....I mean winning.
@@MrCarnutbill67 It's stupid to run cars with that much power without bars. This video bears that out. If it's a matter of class restrictions I'd run in a different class.
Pete Hosey That’s definitely your choice to do so. Some people like to push the limits and trying to manage 2,000 plus horsepower without wheelie bars is pushing those limits. Not everybody can do it but some of these cars without wheelie bars run faster than NHRA Pro Stock on a small drag radial tire. Not everyone can do it but it’s sure fun to watch them try.
@@MrCarnutbill67 back in my day, the 1950s,1960s and 1970s, we raced with whatever we had which was usually the only car we had. I had a 55 Chevy 283, Duntov, Rochester 4 bbl and twin exhaust with Lake pipes. Traction master bars. Street tires and gears. We couldn't just rev it up on the line and dump the clutch. That would result in traction going up in smoke. To Get the best you could do off the line, you had to finesse the clutch and the gas pedal. Shifting gears on the three on the column required coaxing it into the next gear. Too ham-fisted and the linkage would jam into a wad. ETs were nothing like now. If you had a car that would get into the 14s you were running strong. The best I ever did was 14 flat. Racing back then was a barrel of fun. Starting with a flag. No such thing as " breaking out." If we lost a race, we didn't care. Winning didn't pay anything anyway. Those were the days.
Pete Hosey My dad raced at the same time you did. He didn’t know what bracket racing was until he started going to the track with me back in the early 90’s. He had lots of cars but his favorite was a 1967 corvette convertible. It was a 427/415 with both tops and side pipes. Back then he thought it was the fastest thing in the world. Now he says his new Camry would probably kick the Vetts ass. Haha, how far it’s come.
Just curious, at officially organised drag racing, if Car X Collides with Car Z and it is clearly X's fault, is there a "Gentleman's Agreement" of any kind, Official Rule / tribunal on the matter, or tough luck you race at your own risk?
Here's a serious question. What happens when two cars collide at the race track like that first incident? Is there any kind of insurance on these cars? Or is it just "sorry about that bro"? I imagine no insurance company in its right mind would cover a racecar.
Honestly that a great question I wouldn’t be mad at the guy that collided into me because first it isn’t there fault and second his car got damaged to so I’d say if someone crashed into me are you alright?
btw whats the protocol for when ur car crosses lane and damages other car? is there some type or race insurance or is it out of pocket and either way how is the amount of money paid to the car u hit determined?
I never had a car that fast, but I always made it to the finish line. Can't any of these people drive? And what do they have against wheelie bars? You can't steer with your front wheels off of the track.
@@brandonsikes9166 They're slamming all over the track! I can't believe this is being allowed. A major factor in auto racing is safety. This is anything but.
CoachJM - After all, it's just a fiberglass shell, engine, and the rest below is optional. Often, his drivers and friends have built the most, well helped by an engine workshop (owned by one of their friends often). But the special parts used are not cheap.
@@MitchellOrd the 1/8th makes it more accessible. not sure how it is in australia but in most of the U.S., believe it or not, there is actually a dragstrip located within 50-100 miles of another so keeping cost down helps every tracks car count.
If be so pissed if after spending so much time and money building up a 4 second car just to have some inexperienced driver lose control and smash into me.
feel bad for the nova owner i bet he was one pissed off racer that was spo wrong these guys run them turbo pipes straight out the side and when the front tires leave the ground the exhaust force shoves the nose over should point it up so it pushes the nose down or at a 45 degree angle backwards might get a little jet action and push the car a lil faster

Okay ... comment from a Brit, & complete novice on Drag Racing ... can someone explain why they don't have a separating wall down the middle of the track? Explanation will be gratefully received. Have an epic 2020 everyone ;-)
Charles Roberts it would result in more wrecks a lot of people can use the whole track to keep from wrecking one and if the wall was there they would hit it
@@brandonsikes9166 ... Ah, right I see your point. I suppose it is a balance between what you say & the chances of them wrecking the other car. But, tks for taking the time to reply. ;-)

@@layneconstance2154 correct. the 1/8th makes it more accessible. hell, last night i watched a beat up ranchero win 5,000 in a bracket race running a 7.32 through an 8th.
This is the difference between pros and people with too much money and time. The pros shut off IMMEDIATELY and don't try to stay in it. The stupids just keep going and wreck not just themselves, but sometimes their competition as well. Idiots.

@@jswaggart01 They're probably all dealers trying to make one last sale before the idiot kills himself
was that first pair at a no prep race ?
Hard seeing all those cars wreck
3:35 bro my man lost connection to the game
Lol
Drag racing in the fuckin rain. There are more Yahoo!'s milling around the starting line than there are in the stands
Those Damn Zombies...always trying to kill the Non Zombies !!
Wet tracks while running slicks is not my idea of safety.…
Track wasn't wet...not even close to wet....
That's traction compound.
Blue vette said nope im out
is clear the right lane have some failure but they is so entertained with those nice car they can't see it
btw whats the protocol for when ur car crosses lane and damages other car? is there some type or race insurance or is it out of pocket and either way how is the amount of money paid to the car u hit determined?
I think it’s to each his own.
Why do so many Mustangs spin out and hit the wall?
5:14, Dude is armed lol
That's what you call spending money in a hurry
something wrong with the right lane , Most cars getting hurt on right lane ,
I never had a car that fast, but I always made it to the finish line. Can't any of these people drive? And what do they have against wheelie bars? You can't steer with your front wheels off of the track.
Pete Hosey - some of the small tire classes these cars run in don’t allow wheelie cars.
Pete Hosey ok so a radial and wheelie bars don’t work as soon as the car hits the bars it disrupts the way the suspension works and slams down
@@brandonsikes9166 They're slamming all over the track! I can't believe this is being allowed. A major factor in auto racing is safety. This is anything but.
Pete Hosey wheelie bars aren’t going to fix hitting walls just major wheelies
Are these 1/4 mile races
1/8 mile
Thanks
Has a Corvette ever gone a whole 1/4 mile ?
CoachJM - After all, it's just a fiberglass shell, engine, and the rest below is optional. Often, his drivers and friends have built the most, well helped by an engine workshop (owned by one of their friends often). But the special parts used are not cheap.
How long is the track ?.
Alot these cars run 1/8 mile but the physical track is 1/4, don't ask me why they run such a short distance cuz they don't here in straya.
@@MitchellOrd - After all, it's a quarter mile that is the usual goal, I'll try to find someone from Australia then. Greetings from Norway.
@@MitchellOrd the 1/8th makes it more accessible. not sure how it is in australia but in most of the U.S., believe it or not, there is actually a dragstrip located within 50-100 miles of another so keeping cost down helps every tracks car count.
When these people retire they have two cents in their retirement account
If be so pissed if after spending so much time and money building up a 4 second car just to have some inexperienced driver lose control and smash into me.
Fast forward to 3:26 to see stone cold Steve Austin running down the track
Try playback at x2 speed it makes it 100000x better
😂😂😂😂
Uh,what is a COOL SHIRT?
Some in car would have been cool from some of these.
feel bad for the nova owner i bet he was one pissed off racer that was spo wrong these guys run them turbo pipes straight out the side and when the front tires leave the ground the exhaust force shoves the nose over should point it up so it pushes the nose down or at a 45 degree angle backwards might get a little jet action and push the car a lil faster
First run, white wagon.....nitwit should have stayed out of it after the SECOND time he broke loose.....
What a shame for that GTO. What happens in that situation. Who pays the repair bill 💪🏼💪🏼
Ya Victor, that's what I'd like to know.
You're responsible for the repair of your car in most situations.
Thomas Martin. Thanks for the reply. I’m still confused 😐 Naturally I would have to fix my own car. But what about the damage I’ve done to the other person car. I’m I respondsible for that damage. 🤷♀️🤷♀️💪🏼💪🏼
@@victorburich1172
Nope, and that's what really sucks about racing in these sportsman classes.
Victor Burich no of you choose to help the other driver you are more than welcome to to but not required
Fast like rocket!!#
14:05 man it hurts to see this beauty slam the wall like that
Leaked sound from inside car at 13:17 : shit shit shit shit shit
3:16 nOoOoO that what my dads 69 camaro did
Okay ... comment from a Brit, & complete novice on Drag Racing ... can someone explain why they don't have a separating wall down the middle of the track? Explanation will be gratefully received. Have an epic 2020 everyone ;-)
Charles Roberts it would result in more wrecks a lot of people can use the whole track to keep from wrecking one and if the wall was there they would hit it
@@brandonsikes9166 ... Ah, right I see your point. I suppose it is a balance between what you say & the chances of them wrecking the other car. But, tks for taking the time to reply. ;-)
Charles Roberts it’s very rare that you see someone hit someone else
@@brandonsikes9166 ... Only goes to confirm how little I know about drag racing lol. I have to say, I admire how you Americans do things big, if you're gonna do them at all. But, I suppose you have a lot more room to do it in.
Useless fact, for you Brandon ... if you just take England, not including Scotland & Wales, it would fit in North Carolina, with room to spare. There you, you can impress your friends with that one ... you can thanks me later lol ;-)
What is so hard driving straight!!🤣
Try it with 2000 horsepower and up!!! Then get back to us!!!
Man..... my heart breaks for that dude in the nova in the very first clip against that wagon.... i bet he had some choice words for the dodo bird in the wagon.... i understand thats racing.... but fuck... how stupid can you be....sometimes trying to be a hero in front of a crowd does more harm than good.....sad...
I don't get 1/8th mile. SOOO much happens after in 1/4. IMO.
Richelle Barnes I like the 1/8th more. Doesn’t put as much stress on the motor, gives it longer life then the quarter, and I don’t have deep pockets lol
@@layneconstance2154 correct. the 1/8th makes it more accessible. hell, last night i watched a beat up ranchero win 5,000 in a bracket race running a 7.32 through an 8th.
9:20-9:27 When The Wind Blows A Lady Skirt😂
demolition derby drag racing...tryin to kill each other..
This is the difference between pros and people with too much money and time. The pros shut off IMMEDIATELY and don't try to stay in it. The stupids just keep going and wreck not just themselves, but sometimes their competition as well. Idiots.
they put axle grease on the track or what,not a s ingle mopar no where,a life of hell watching off brand junk wrecking..
Mustangs, and Corvettes doing what they do best. Losing control, and smashing into things.
Racing it’s all about pissing money away
6:25 what happend?
God bless and I hope nobody got hurt
