Earlier this year the C/Gas record was a 5.99. Its hard to say what the 1/4 mile ET would be given I the car would probably need to run a different gear ratio but if you put the 5.99 1/8-mile ET into the typical conversion tables it would theoretically translate to somewhere in the 9.30's or 9.40's in the 1/4.
@@gmo1515 If this is theoretical right then in times of heritage rules like those, it was pretty damn quick. Now why they do run typical 1/8 Mile at SEGA or isn"t it
@@guidorollard2944 I think it's partly a safety thing and also that they can go to local tracks that have an overall "look" more fitting with the era that they are trying to portray. Despite the fact that they have such stringent rules to maintain period correctness these guys are still capable of running considerably quicker than the cars in that era would have been and these cars can be ill-handling and, as Quain Stott has said are "built wrong on purpose" so they can be quite a handful to drive. Keeping them on an 1/8 mile keeps the top end speeds under control and safer overall.
@@gmo1515 Thank you for this insight concerning period correct and the sort of limits due safety. I believe it was also back in the days a handfull to drive, because mechanics on the car and parts to be have, were not that quality you can buy now. I am just thinking, because i do not know history about dragracing in th USA. I remember pictures of altereds, going wild, like some driver called wild willy Borsch or Borch. You know, this nostalgic way of dragracing has more appeal to me as the modern NHRA
love gassers racing, clean footage 🔥🔥🔥
Enjoy these videos brings us back in time to better days and simpler times. Also enjoy the quality and production of your videos. 👍🏻 🇺🇸
It's been a while since I've seen dragracing so good that it's just as impressive to see a car make a full bore single run.
congratulations to all of SEGA for a great race! thanks!!
Enjoyed👍🍻
Please come to Maryland!!!!
👍🏁🏁👍
i wonder what times in C gas would run on quartermile... Low 10 perhaps?
