    Supercharged nitromethane burning dragsters are never boring, sweet sounding small block Chevrolet powered rail

    When I spotted this video I thought, "Hey, I know that guy!" Never thought I'd find myself strapped in your seat and headed down Santa Pod! Thanks for the thrill! It's been a while since I've done that. The sound is even to perfection, but I'd turn the idle up a bit to get rid of that surge. Not easy to stage when it keeps trying to run thru the brakes! Cheers! ~DT~

    While nothing front engined burning nitro is safe, your set up looks on the " safe" side of fun.

      @davelowets 2 роки тому +1

      There really is NO "safe" when it comes to a front engined dragster. It's a roll of the dice every pass....

    Nitro car with a powerglide?

    • @bobhawkins
      @bobhawkins  3 роки тому +3

      Yes that’s correct. Many told me it won’t work but so far we’ve run 6.51 at 211 mph (.98/60’). With no issues. With no clutch you have to ‘feel/drive it’ off the line. It’s an unrated pro- mod glide we use.

    • @voxnut
      @voxnut 3 роки тому +1

      @@bobhawkins very cool! What kind of percentages are you running fuel-wise, and because of the glide are you tuning it more like an alky digger regarding the idle speeds and pump size?

    • @bobhawkins
      @bobhawkins  3 роки тому +1

      @@voxnut Started at 60 then 70 and the latest is 75% may well increase further once we have a proper handle on the tune and yes’s low fat idle is best so it won’t try to push though the brakes, being a torque converter. The pump is a 15.9 , quite large by Alky standards although it all depends on what sort of power you want Ing to make.
