Words simply aren't enough to describe the raw power these machines make. When the driver's hit the gas it will shock every one of your senses. You'll walk away wondering how man has done such a thing. A truly unique experience. First timer's are never the same after.
Many don't understand just how loud these things really are. I used to live just over 10 miles from the race track, and every time the top fuel dragsters and funny cars were in town: you could hear the passes indoors with all the windows and doors shut from 10 miles away as the crow flies with plenty of hills, trees, and hundreds of homes in between. They're insanely loud, and even cause the equivalent of a 2.3 magnitude earthquake when they leave the starting line. If you ever get a chance to see them: do it! But bring hearing protection.
I wish my speakers could produce the sound more realistically. When they take off on my monitor, it just sounds like somebody twisting up a piece wax paper. You have to be there to experience what it really sounds like. It's been 50 years since I last heard that sound for what was called funny cars back then. Not sure if any of the pioneers like Garlits, Dick Landy, Dyno Don and all the rest are still living.
You're not human if you can walk away from the starting line of a top fuel race and not be blown away by every single thing about it. All five senses are maxed out in a millisecond. It truly is life-altering.
Everyone needs to experience this once, myself, I love the feel the sound, and the one thing for me you left out the nitro/rubber burning smell great video and informative to the ones never saw this spectacle.
Dude. I've been to the Thunder Valley Nationals three times in Bristol. One of the BIGGEST examples of pure badassery you will ever feel,see,and smell in your freaking life. Hell yeah. Nothing else even comes close! Freakin love it.🤘💯🔥💪
I have been going to Pomona Winter Nationals and the Finals since around 1973. The cars of course go faster each year. There was a period of time I did not attend any drag races from 1979 till the 1990s after Kenny B. broke the 300mph mark also they changed the stands from wood to aluminum. The first top fuel run I saw in maybe 95, I swear I thought I was having a seizure with my brain vibrating inside my skull , when the adrenaline rush subsided and I realized I was not going to need medical help I was hooked again. I can describe it to you, but I can't understand it for you. It is truly something you must witness for yourself to fully comprehend what 10-12,000 horsepower can be in an 8 cyl. 500 ci.in motor running on Nitro- methane (originally used as a printing/ ink solvent)
When the drive shaft locks up, it can absolutely be over 6 g's! It's amazing to try to process when you're getting almost 280 mph at or before half track and then it starts accelerating harder than it did at the hit of the throttle!
Yes, that's right. These racers are really american superheroes! Unbelievable how they can control with crazy speed 🤪 🙃🤪🙃🤪🙃 How COOL when a top fuel dragster throttle whack and flyby👍👌🙌
Growing up as a kid in Edmonton in the seventies I remember top fuel funny cars and dragsters hitting around 260 mile an hour. And I think there were somewhere around 5 second quarter miles. I'll never forget thinking that can't ever possibly be surpassed. But if you've never had a chance to experience one of these live, it's almost intimidating if not scary....in a very mind bendingly awesome way! Wonder if we'll ever be in the low 3's?....
Actually the cars would still be doing 4 or 5 seconds. They shortened the 1/4 mile from 1,320 feet to just 1,000 feet. So the times are all off now! Plus the NHRA has a restriction on the speed at 1,000 feet to not exceed 335 MPH. So top fuel is basically reached its peak. Like everything else these days; life was better in the 20th century. ✔️
@@shorty808100 nothing like a Stock Car you must be meaning right. Similarities 0 that's part of it for me, iam a mechanic retired with a few chevy engines and some HOGS in the shed also got the SMOKEY book on my shelf well read too. We don't have Stock car racing in Australia ,got Dirt track but I go watch that every chance I get .
@@shorty808100 Nah, you don't just see them or hear them, you get to FEEL them. It's nothing even like alcohol dragsters, and those are the 2nd fastest dragsters.
You have to experience this in person. 11,000HP, a new Corvette makes 500HP, they use about 8 gallons of fuel for the burnout, staging and 1-1,000ft run. That's $45 a gallon of nitromethane which equals to about $400 per run. 0-60MPH in the time it takes to blink your eye and 0-100MPH is in the first 60 feet. They stopped running 1,320 feet because the tires would expand so much at that speed and would cause them to explode. The cars at idle are on the verge of hydro-lock. The burnouts are done at half fuel volume into the cylinders. Spark plugs stop working halfway down the track because they are fouled out due to so much fuel and power sent to the plugs. A Dodge Demon that makes 700HP and can't turn over the supercharger because it's so far over driven. The engines are rebuilt after each run and cost about $10,000 to rebuild. Tires usually last 3 runs. The clutch fuses together about 300 feet out. The most G forces isn't felt at launch, you actually feel the most G forces when the transmission fully engages at about 200 feet. The spark plugs see 44 amps and 60,000 volts in one spark. You could pass the start line, for a 1,000 foot race, at 200MPH and the dragster is sitting still, the dragster will pass you at half tack and beat you by a quarter track with you going 200MPH.
Thanks for making this video! Finally a Top Fuel short documentary that does not abuse slow-motion takes that misrepresent the very sport they are trying to describe.
Sept 4, 2022 a top fuel car driven by Brittany Force at the US Nationals recorded a 299.73 mile per hour at the eighth mile clocks during a qualifying run. The newly formed 1/8 mile 300mph club almost had its first member. That my friends is acceleration.
@SpaceAce100 no. That's just a spot where timers are. It's been a goal to hit 300 mph by there. I don't remember this pass, but I will go back and look for it.
Top fuel is insane!!! I absolutely love it!!! Been 100 times and every time just as exciting as the first..took my son to the gatornationals 2 yrs back, (13 then), his first time. Went to the pits for a proper top fuel indoctrination..we had a blast😁
@Telephaz Did you know the flames you see above the headers is not from the cylinder, that fuel is already gone, the flame is hydrogen burning in the separated Molecules from H2O atmospheric surrounding air.
@@thedubwhisperer2157 Watched a documentary. Also those engines were built to turn less than 8 thousand revolutions before needing rebuilt. 9 thousand for 4 seconds and they are done.
Some of my fondest memories are of Gatornationals when I was a kid, its something else to be just dripping tears from all the alcohol in the air while these machines literally shake your skeleton under your skin. Everything feels like its vibrating, your eyes, nose, and throat burn, and then these things rip by so fast you can hardly keep pace with your eyes. Ive watched them take off into the air at over 200 miles and hour and come down as a little roll cage around the driver. If they get the slightest breeze under them they turn into a fighter jet without wings.
Been to the local dragstrip once, they had the less powerful 3000 hp nitro rail cars and nothing in the world compares to the feeling of sitting on that starting line and they stomp on that peddle in anger.
I remember watching Shirley go up in flames. Was one of the rare times I got to see drags on TV. I searched out the movie about it after. long time ago man.
