I had just watched an 8 sec video before this 7 sec run. Wow, the 7 seemed soooooo much faster. And the way the 11 sec car got reeled in was really nice to watch. Thanks for this video. It is the first one I have seen like it. I had a bike that was 11.0 at 125. This really puts things in perspective. And to think what a 4 sec run by top fuel would look like against this 11 sec......wow.
+lw216316 1 second is huge, think about this, lots of the races you see on pinks all out or many other drag shows you get car lengths shown are less than a second difference, sometimes truly fractions of a second.
Its a Mac Sherrill Slip Tube Car. I am not used to driving the stripe with an 80 mph speed difference and we were just doing some testing. I went 10&2 and never looked back. Fortunately I turned on the win light. Fun race. Certainly different I used a Go Pro Camera on the highest setting.
Back in the early 60s I use to get Hot Rod Magazine in the mail each month....That was a great time to be alive...That very magazine had a picture of Evel Knievel jumping his bike....In the picture, the editor had circled a piece of debris about 6 foot under the stuntman's Triumph motorcycle...And I'm talking the bike was 30 feet in the air.....The caption red, it's the rubber part of the foot-peg had came off in med air....I loved Evel Knievel ever since I saw that picture....And I don't know why but that one picture made me think about all the things that can go wrong in the sport that I love.... And then, the very next month Big Daddy Don Garlits had a terrible engine exploded on him and then he had the accident where he lost half of his foot....We didn't hear anything from his camp after that.... For maybe 6 months or more...But the next season when he showed up...Wow!!....You talking about dominating the competition....But what Mr, Garlits did probably saved many lives too...What the man did, and... I mean the man... was reinvent the modern Top Fuel dragster...Where the driver seats in front of the bomb...That's what they were calling it that year were talking about it... Now that I think about it...Wasn't it the clutch assembly coming apart that got his foot... The jury is still out on that...Either way it happen during that terrible wreck.... And drag racing was much safer from then on.....And one last thing....Don Garlits is a great American....You should hear him talk on any subject....He always brings everything back to life lived in a wonderful country....Sir, I know I'm brain washed because all my heroes were patriots to an idea call America....And you can't kill an idea.....Awesome video.
My car was broke down, but my friend who had a super comp roadster convinced me to run my tow van in street. So I did. In trial I went up against a super comp dragster in my 23.9 second van. Baton Rouge 1/4 mile, of course I left first, I kept watching in the mirror and when I got what seemed like 150' from the line I thought, "he's broke" so I let off, just as I did I see a puff of smoke, I stomped the pedal and he went flying by me before the finish line.
It always feel so strange to be racing like this in front of completly empty or almost empty grandstands, like the one you were racing in front of, in a way it's like NASCAR, people really pack the stands for the BIG BOYS of NASCAR, but if it's a lower part of it, say the Camping truck series for instance, people dont come out as much for that, now if this was the top of the crop for the NHRA, those stands you were driving in front of would have been probably filled all the way to the top
A lot of people don't appreciate the lower classes in NHRA, because they don't shake the stands or blow your eardrums out like the Nitro cars do. I, however love watching the other classes run. Super Stock, Super Street, Stock, Top Dragster, Alcohol, Pro Mod.. I enjoy them all equally, because I understand that those cars are hand-built in a garage by the guy who's running it. I also like the variation. Super Stock, Super Street, Stock, Top Dragster, Pro Mod, no two cars look the same, and all can be built 100% differently.
talk about making it look like the other guy is sitting still ! I'm guessing he is about 120 and you are approaching 200. imagine a top fuel coming by at 325 !
That is one noisy ass thrashing machine. Kinda sounds like the 1968 Gleaner combine I used to run. That thing would quiet right up and purr like a kitten once you put oil in it. Maybe they should try that.
I watched it at 1/4 speed and it looks like he the dragster nosed the the stripe first. Not sure if there was a breakout or not and I could not see if there was a win light on either side of the track.
Great vid. If thats a Go-Pro what settings are you using? After messing with mine it's still pretty white out of the windshield during TT's. When the sun is off to the west of the track and at night its perfect?"
When you say "Top" dragster, ...how do you mean that? I've only ever heard that for Top Fuel or Top Alcohol, neither of which this car is - obviously. Could it be Top ET ?
Everyone knows not to come lean in the car and talk and point at things. I never needed help from a watcher. Except for my wife doing the air pressure in the tires. Get the hell out of the way and watch my win light come on.
Hey the tree at my track doesn't have the first amber flash like the one you have. Do you know what system? or program? the tree is running on?. unlike you I gotta leave on the other guys first amber. thanks
Man it’s crazy how much work, hrs and hrs. All for 6 seconds! Respect

I recognize norwalk when I see that track. Great Video
Halifax512 that is my local racetrack and i found my dad in there from 7 years ago
Such a great looking track ... looks quite safe all the way to the end of the braking area. Good for spectators to see what goes on down the far end.
Now this IS a front row seat!Really cool!
Dragster took the win light!!!
Bryan Keller were is that??
TJ McCain looks like norwalk ohio
@@beefman62 it is norwalk
I liked watching all the lead up to the run. It felt like such a long time waiting for the green.
fun to watch from the driver's seat. the g forces must be amazing.

The difference in starting time is crazy. It seems almost like he'd never chase down that Vette, but he did and passed him before the lights!
3:49 thought he was going to give him a goodluck kiss
AHAHHAHAHAAHHAAHHAHA
3:50 for drill sergeant pose.
The absolute pinnacle in steering wheel technology lol...
good luck holding on to anything else..

Norwalk best racetrack ever!
Damn it, something goes wrong that might be a wrap. damn that's fast
Big time runnin em down, love the Competition Eliminator or TD class when a 13.50 index goes up against a 6.00 index!

Nice. Felt like I was in the seat myself-Thanks guys.
6:29 the other car: yey ima win :D
Dragster: i like ya cut g
GoPros are great cams, nice to see the driver before and after.
I was just here 2 days ago lol been here every year since I was 2

That is so cool! Thanks for sharing and it be safe.
Hey I'm 8 years old and I have a jr dragster
Im 11 and have a jr dragster how fast does your go
great video. thanks for sharing. shows how fast 7 sec really is. lol,
Jr. Dragsters FTW! I race one :)
I REALLY hope you know that this is a top dragster.
+LightningFast Rc oh, I know! Lol, I was stating I love Jr's though
+DragLegend Oh ok. One of my friends drives a 7.90 Jr Dragster
+LightningFast Rc what's their last name?
+DragLegend Pollard
Excellent
That's awesome, I hope to have a car that has to wait 3 seconds to leave
Didn't know these things actually steer
Frame by frame, my bad, you're right ... but it took them a heck of a long time to get to the stripe from 1000' on, lol.

knightingalesaid
Looks like he got you... gotta be quicker on your button release!!
Gotta love Norwalk.
awesome video....
talk about making it look like the other guy is sitting still !
I'm guessing he is about 120
and you are approaching 200.
imagine a top fuel coming by at 325 !
lw216316 About 175 mph
Nice owd Vette in front. . .
That is one noisy ass thrashing machine. Kinda sounds like the 1968 Gleaner combine I used to run. That thing would quiet right up and purr like a kitten once you put oil in it. Maybe they should try that.
It's a dragster, that's built for speed... not a luxury sedan, that's designed for comfort...
Anthony Gendron uh...ok?
I've watched top fuel so close my eyes were burning from the nitromethane. I know what this is. STILL SOUNDS LIKE SHIT.
IT does sound pretty strange from the video, I think his fans are in the way or something. I thought it was that motorcycle engine at first.
its the camera.... some cameras pick up certain sounds differently than others. and sometimes they make the car sound like shit.
Nikki Mandlis Thank you. That would make sense.
The car probably sounds healthy in person.
I watched it at 1/4 speed and it looks like he the dragster nosed the the stripe first. Not sure if there was a breakout or not and I could not see if there was a win light on either side of the track.
mjs28s Dragster got the win light
06:24 launch...
Rather chase than be chased!!!
Awesome!!!!
My home track and damn I wanna go racing lol I love how I'm hearing people I know over the pa lol
Why does the tach still read idle rpm when you get out?
Must be electric. It does the same thing when he shuts the motor down after warm-up.
Great vid. If thats a Go-Pro what settings are you using? After messing with mine it's still pretty white out of the windshield during TT's. When the sun is off to the west of the track and at night its perfect?"
Aaron Workman turn down the exposure
Good thing for fast forward since it was only 7 seconds.
love it.
What a rush that was.
wow
BADASS!!!
When you say "Top" dragster, ...how do you mean that? I've only ever heard that for Top Fuel or Top Alcohol, neither of which this car is - obviously. Could it be Top ET ?
what race did u run Top Dragster at?
All dragsters I see have Oakley stickers on the visors. Are u sponsored?
Is this at Norwalk?
Norwalk OHIO who's going nationals on June 26 can't wait
I am! just Friday though last year I went all 4 days. It's gonna be awesome though! Gotta love those nitro cars!

Good2GoKine CraftJerky 'CrossTalk'
Good2GoKine CraftJerky ya its cross talk. For nhra you have to put an N on your window it will be turned off. Or get a delay box that supports it
He should of yelled BOO at the start.
That is not a Top Fuel car, it's a Competition Eliminator. You can tell by the other car he's racing.. Plus a Top Fuel would be a lot louder..
It never said it was a Top Fuel car. The title said Top Dragster.
The car runs in Top Dragster, not Comp Eliminator.
smjjohnson This is a Super Pro/Top.Bulb Class
Lol completely ran down that other car
Where can I buy one
Shit that's fast!
Breelongg my dad does the some thing it's funny lol
OK, who got the stripe?
Looks like you ran it out the back, he dumped and gave you back the stripe.
If you want skip to about 530
大哥 說真格的 雖然你很帥 但我還是嚇到了
Whats that about a 5 sec. run... Not top fuel but very fast...
Is that an Undercover car?
that is Norwalk
is this at Norwalk
Joshua Schiffel Yes
@19RaZu64 didnt look like it to me? the other car never dumped
Confess consult thanks you buy
7 minute video for a 7 sec run lol
“In Car” should be hyphenated in your video title. With the way you have it written now, you are talking about a top dragster that is in a car camera.
can I drive it???
That was norwalk ohio
That's not a top fuel dragster
Top dragster as in top alcohol
Alcohol or top fuel?
nchondakid yes but 1080p camera dash cam
simon simon
Yes what
nchondakid not top fuel
Neither. Its a Super Pro/Top Bulb car on Alcohol
Umm... Who won? :D
wdowa94 Dragster. its really fast but there is a Yellow(Win Light) on the concrete barrier just past the finish line.
P
6 minutes of nothing
But no public ? Where are the people ?
Dirk Hofman probably test and tune
Dirk Hofman Its bracket racing. There arent any fans for these.
are you racing i dont like racing
skip to 5:30 dont need to waste 5 mins of your life
forget doorslammers, get a rail
The day we are going to run out of fossil fuel , will we be proud of all that waste ? Like burning 90 gallons a minute juste for... fun ? Think of it!
skip to 5:30 dont need to waste 5 mins of your life
