The sound of this thing when your there is indescribable.
If you haven’t already, you must experience this live in person. Unbelievable.
Indeed, my preference would be to have already lost my hearing prior to arriving.
Yeah I can agree man went the other day deffo going back
It's on my bucket list.
I remember watching it ,a very chilly night ! but definately worth the wait !
Many sports are coined "extreme" but jet car racing is definitely at the pointy end of the list. 💯%
Jet cars are so loud when your actually there watching them race I went to Santa pod a long time ago thinking about going there again
I'm going santa pod tomorrow lol
@@TOTND have fun
Thx Charle 2006
Christopher Park I live local and can sometimes hear them from pretty far away, the same with the TF dragsters and funny cars
I went there a while ago and saw this jet car and it almost blew my ears off ! And this guys kneeling next to it without eat protectors 😂😂
We've seen fireforce run for over 30 years and loved every single one of them . 💨💨
I was on the team 99-2001 this car 4 is far more tuned then the last 3 you can hear it in the peek its close to running spot on. 5 will also be a step futher when it appears... great fun working on the team loved it... will be back for a guest appearance later 2012... stay of the grass martin haha...
its one awesome jet funny car ive seen it so meney times and it still takes my breath away
Great to see Martin Hill and his team in action, always put on a great show and drive. These videos should be force fed 24/7/52 to that Fatberg thing
I saw something like this at Santa Pod in the mid 90's i was working there doing a rave for bug jam and we got pulled into the vip booth. It was just like this with the turbine winding up and the afterburners firing up. The loudest thing i've ever experienced!
Haha I worked at bug jam in 2004 😂good times
JUST GREAT ..EXCELLENT !!.THANKS :)
sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
superb film of superbaction
sooooooooo miss getting there regularly...your film really cheered me up
keep up the good work
Nice job man!
I seen 2 of them at Byron Dragstrip. still remember the smell and everything. Won't forget Byron Illinois.
awsome love it
its so cool iv been santa pod best races ever
yeah it was a solid run, (eventually ha ha) pretty much par for course tho(for this class of exhibition car) the fire show dramatics are VERY breath taking in most jet-passes.. tho seen a few rotor and stator blades come undone.. nasty! my greatest memory was seeing Ken Warby in the 80's with his jet truck and two jet funny cars.. side by side flat fives at 260mph just stunning.. they were only separated by their reaction times!!
Them bangs are louder than you can imagine, you feel it is your stomach
I've actually stood behind this jet car in the sheds at the rear on takeoff, it was like being in an exhaust whilst being shot at with a sand blaster lol 😆
I was at that place in 2012 and the moment this car goes by you, you better have your ears covered and expect your stomach to almost get a hole in it ahah
That was cool even to watch on phone damn
Nice last 10 seconds.
This guy used to live in my neighborhood until he died, my dad said when he was a kid him and his friends watched him make thruster bikes in his garage
@lerroc Yeah your right I just found the error. I guess watching videos is different that being there, but when I go they don't seem as fast as this car and I always love the jet cars this one just seemed extremely fast.
Fastest QuarterMile pass of all tiem was Kitty O'Neal in one of Ky Michaelson's rocket cars, before the peroxide fuel availability was severely restricted - 412 MPH in the quarter mile.
You are top camera man
Been there, I was high as a kite passing fire force….in its dock the smell of weed was unbelievable
The fact I’ve watched this irl is insane
went to Santa pod usc and sitting on the stand you could feel the vibration when set of the flames
I was at stanta pod when this went down the track and it got delayed cos if rain but I went to my tent and we heard it go down the track and we missed it I was devastated :(
I remember being on that embankment as a 14 year old boy dared not to wear my ear muffs and absolutely shit my pants when It went by 😂 the only thing I can compare the loudness too is a low flying fighter jet if you've ever had one fly over you. It shakes everything around you.
It ran at japshow yesterday, as soon as it put the throttle up everyone's fingers went in their ears lmao
@@F1Tom2005 😂Lmao. I'm going to the national finals on July 1st. Can't wait to hear it all again 😁
Why do people post drag races where the ONLY thing that maters is 1/4 time and maybe trap speed. And they show neither! And don't even say or post either! SMH..
IKR "record breaking" but without evidence. I wanna see what that sucker ran...
Swagmasteryo it broke the record this year at 300mph in just under 7 seconds
and what record would that be?
Found it, They claim to be the fastest "Jet Car". Ok maybe.. Top Fuel cars are faster, and Chemical Rocket cars are the fastest down the track... So fastest, "Jet car" ok that might be true... but really.. Big Deal..
Sammy Miller. Santa Pod UK. 3.58 secs. 386mph. I was there. Also saw Darrell Gwynn wreck at Santa Pod. Both great guys and balls of steel.
taabaadaa laaalaaa okay this deserves likes...
Saw this beast in real life aswell
Its exciting as a kid going 2 these drag race's
What?! I can't hear you
Lorra smoke. . .Can remember seeing Sammy Miller 3.8sec run? GR8 days . . .
3.58 at 386mph!!!
corre de + de un treno sto missile complimenti al team .:D
So what has it actually run? I've personally seen the Hanna's run in the low 5's at over 295mph in the 1/4mi and that was 3-4yrs ago. The Hanna's designed a multi-stage afterburner for their jet FC's. The Eastern Raider & the First Strike.
While it may be slower than a dragster, the fastest she's been is 336mph at 5.3. It takes longer to get a jet engine going but over the last 3rd she really shifts.
Record is still 3.54sec held by sammy back in 1984 fireforce is just a crowd show piece seems to get slower as the years go by think it was in the 5sec range last time i saw it at bug jam
Two words...IN SANE.
this video doesnt do justice on how loud this actually is
Good
Epic
no wheel spinning just straight power....
WoodBurn Dragstrip, Woodburn Or. Night of Fire!. Ohh the Jet A. Smell like a Coleman stove after the weekend,,and of course Team Halvey Motorsports in the Winners Circle.
Saw this today it hit 266mph!
I saw this today. What i didn't know was that it has 10,000 bhp!
Skip to 2:55 if you want to see anything happen.
What record(s) did it break?
That is just insane. The driver just goes along for the ride.. I don't even know how you have time to pull the parachute.. I've never seen a car go down a track that fast before, even top fuel. I wonder what this thing would run on the flats.. probably over 400mph easily.
As fast as a jet As long as it’s truly flat enough.
Sammy millers vanishing point was way better than the jet cars. Still great for the kids to watch though.👍🇬🇧 Hope to see you again in September 21.
This thing runs on diesel!
I won't of believed it but after being at Santa pod last weekend and smelling the fuel cap it's true. Don't know if it has a secondary tank additive though
Love Pod
The fastest jet dragster speed in the world is held by driver Chuck Haynes driving his volcano jet dragster to 322 mph in the quarter. Chuck set these records at various tracks one at the top of the list is the Perth Motorplex Perth Australia.
Volcano is a rail, FireForce is a funny car, as stated in the listing, also, in the UK, Fireforce runs over 1/4mile, is that the case in AUS?...
This thing is terrifying
I saw it at santa pod
Did you see that? Super Slo-mo it down and u'll catch a glimpse of chuck norris goin past by him on a unicycle.
Quick and simple: holy shit!!
The First Strike driven by Rich Hanna is listed as the World Record Holder at 5.42 sec & 295.08mph in the 1/4mi on their web site. So again, what has he run? I can tell by the burner pops it's got some guts so I really would like to know what his best time & mph is.
It ran a 4 second run once
+Callum Pearce somebody with a jet car ran in the mid 3s at one point. Cant remember his name. 3.58 or something
That was Sammy Miller in 1984 at Santa Pod but in a Rocket powered car (a Chevy Vega bodied funny car called Vanishing Point) and not a Jet car.
Oh, it also did 386 mph or 621 km/h.
they keep deleting our posts, but we all know it didn't run those numbers, let him show his time slip of all the increments down the track friends and family all people there over in England seem to defend fire farce, but he has never yet posted a time slip or shown his increments down track, I'm sure he wants to relish in the glory of something he did not do! Why don't you stop letting friends defend you and prove what the car did or should I say did not do!
At some point, some guy is going to strap a saddle on a jet engine and make a run...
I never fully understood why the afterburner is repeatedly activated/deactivated prior to takeoff...or is that something else that causes all the white smoke and bright orange flames?
first to heat up then to stage, since it's the only way to move.
the white smoke is diesel, as a crowd pleaser, lighting the afterburner on low rpm is literally crowd pleasing and attracting more crowd, as it is so loud, once it hits full rpm thats all serious, but if it just rolled up and went it would not be so interesting, as it only lasts 6 seconds down the strip
Just a show for the crowd.
can someone explain to me why these jey cars rev their engines so much before the race and take so long to get to the start line. also what are the race guys checking underneath the car?
Alex Hill the crew are looking for fuel leaks or other similar issues.
At the time the records were set yes indeed also I stand corrected on speed it was 319 mph.
It went that fast
Saw this beast in real life
And i have too been going santa pod now for quite a few years now love the place
Omg I’m in the video
I have on video the world record setting run for a jet car of 336mph at the April Easter thunderball, 2007
i barely saw him damn
how many fast is it?
2:58 Car launch here
LOL, all that build up, and not even a shot of the scoreboard after the run. 1.22 seconds @ 795mph.
THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER
wot a rush lol
If a probable built combusion engine got as much boost as this wonder what'll happened.
thefuckamireading.jpg
Got tired of waiting for something to happen so I clicked my back button.
Santa gottah brannew ride "!!!!!!!
@2:45
(Doesn't leave the starting line until 3:00)
Looks like that bloke's farting at 0.24 ! I was there last Sunday the noise is unbelievable , the windows were shaking in the buildings at the start line !
My mates XR3i would have it anytime!
That Ford Transit at 0:17 would have beaten it especially with all that poncing about for a couple of minutes!
Tractor SLEDGEPULL
Fastest I've seen it go is a 4.3 at 270 something odd at bugjam
you havent seen a jet car run a 4 over a 1/4mile
@@baldandold I know lol, 4 is slow...when you consider the record is 3.2 at just over 400mph
time?
saw that to day
I was there that day . I hate the sound tho 😭
Skip to 2.57ish if you just want to see the car drag and not faff about!
Time?
