    Leah is such a good hearted person. Someone unfortunately was hit by a piece of the engine in the stands. As she was riding back by she understood what happened and got out and made sure he was okay. Awesome job Leah. Hope you both are okay❤️

    This is literally like the epitome of drag racing, by that I mean highest of highs lowest of lows, yet at the end of the day, best sport, fans, friendships and camaraderie on the planet..! Just a tough way to see TSR have both their cars blow up but I guess that makes this comment cyclical:-) I got a really good program and did astonishingly well for the first year out especially the dragster, I mean that was everything from scratch. Can't wait till 2023!!

      Amen to that!! It REALLY was!! All the new teams the competition being really good again, I just hope they don't jack with the cars rev limiters and slow them down, we don't need that Goodyear doesn't need that, this is an early 2000s tires this is good stuff, and after Leah had her car break and have that extra support, these cars are fine to go the speeds are going, easily

    It always blows my mind how the top fuel cars can smoke the tires right at the hit and STILL finish at over 120 miles per hour. Incredible!!!

      Crazy. At 8 tenths of a second, at the 60 foot. They are doing almost 100 miles an hour. Think about how ridiculous it sounds, but is just another crazy top fuel statistic.

    Both cars had Blower explosions. I'm so glad this happened in rear engined cars. There's no way this would be safe in an old front engined car. Don Garlits lost his foot in a clutch explosion, and went to the rear engined car. It's so much safer, especially when you're driving a loaded time-bomb that is a modern top fuel car.

      thats part of the game. Everybody knows its not without dangers. That is the very nature of motorsport. But topfuel dragracing is a very safe sport. Nobody has died since kalitta in 2008, so the dangers are not that big. Its not like the 70's where one or more people were killede every year.

    • @johnhufnagel
      @johnhufnagel 2 роки тому +1

      @@robertr7923 the danger hasn't gotten much if any less, just the safety tech and requirements are that much higher. enclosed capsules, better strength materials, automatic chute deployment on failure, etc. you can see that last one in action on leah's car; the chute was already deploying before the fireball had dissipated.

      A better explanation? She started smoking the tires. That unloaded the engine and it started dropping cylinders. That caused fuel to accumulate in the cylinders and liquid doesn't compress so something has to give. Intake valve probably hung open and charge finely lights off and BOOM
