Car AND driver were FLAWLESS, Lyle is one hell of a programmed "machine".....
MOPAR RULES, Congrats on the win and the new world record !
The car and the team are amazing. I'm equally impressed with how reliable the car is as I am with how fast it is. Run after run with no problems and it goes perfectly straight every pass.
It's because Mopars are strong. It's the best kept secret in racing.
Now this is a team that knows how to win ! WELL DONE !
THIS is what a very cool man can and a very cool driver can do when others say that you cannot
all those cars are fast 180+ on the 1/8! damn
Absolutely amazing MOPAR...
Congrats to Lyle and the rest if the team! This car is a beast!!!!
I don't know why there aren't more Mopars on the tracks - Mopar Rules. Why else does Top Fuel run Hemis.
It's CHEAPER to build a Ford or Chevy. More availability of aftermarket parts. Mopar parts are always 1/3 to 1/2 more $$. I have a '68 Valiant project car. Ask me how I know....
@@annamckinney6622 Well....sort of correct, but it depends on what mill you're running....Big block Mopars are very cheap to build, much cheaper than a 454 Chev for example, given the same power level.....many 383's, 400's and 440's are still around, although every year it gets a bit tougher to find good stock stuff, or basic pieces. I've found that small blocks like 340's and 360's are actually, dollar per H.P, more expensive. Once you build a motor to a certain power threshhold, the costs are not that different, be it Chevy Mopar or Ford.
Regarding the new hemi's, I'm building a SS/AM 92 Lebaron with a 426 Gen 3 Hemi, and true, the 6.1 or 6.4 blocks are tough to find. I could have built a stroked 5.7...but I went bigger. Good luck.
Beauty IS the Beast! Congrats!! Mopar 2 U!! 😎💕
So impressive, l love it, USA Makes the best cars. Mopar forever !
The launch off the line by Lyle Barnett is very consistent and puts him in the lead. Tough to beat a good launch !!!...
Deep stage for a holeshot a get ya everytime!
That's because Dodge RULES!
Which is why the little red Firebird in the first race shredded the Dodge by three tenths in the first race.
Ed A - Uh, apparently you don't realize the little red Firebird is FAR from a leaf spring rear car like the Dart. The Firebird is basically a Pro Mod full tube chassis car w/ coil over suspension whereas the Dart has much closer (but quite modified) to a production type chassis, body and rear suspension. Apples to oranges comparison. ie: The Dart can run in a different class. The run you refer to was Radial vs. the World qualifying. The Dart competed in BOTH Radial vs. World AND leaf spring classes, something the Firebird could not do at this event and likely never would attempt.
mopar made great engines, but the cars were shit, even the cool looking ones were unibody with junk suspensions. Dave, leaf springs is a big deal for mechanically inclined folks, you'd wet yer pants before you hit 180 in the 1/8 mile.(yeah, I would too) as much as I prefer 1/4 mile drags, that car probably doesn't need to go over 200 to impress me.
Greased Lightning!
Good old Gazzard bros from Australia
It looks like they are doing
1000 feet I wish they'd stick to the old tradition quarter mile I was running 1105 56 Chevy
It' sat pretty high straight axle
427 fiberglass front end 513 gears fuel injected street legal most people heard of it in California was called Helter Skelter
They are racing 660 ft (1/8 mile). Pretty amazing 200+ mph in 1/8. They are just trying to save lives not doing the 1/4.
My favorite compact Mopar. Unless '70 Cuda/Challenger is a compact. Oh, really like 65/66 Dart GT too.
If that thing Hooks good night
Hi Free Life Flim I'm looking for a Dodge dart roller FOR SALE in fair condition. Any info will be helpful . Thank you . Duane Secrest from Michigan
What's it run in the 1320?
for comparison only , by his 1/8 mile times , another car i know of runs 6.70 1/4 mile with a 4.30 1/8 mile
ted evans amazing🤯
Yeh every since this street outlaw shit every body seems to be running the 1/8 can’t stand it. It’s over before it started same with no prep shit if I want to whatch street racing I’ll go to the local back road next thing you know they will have 60 ft races
Jeff Leblanc - Street Outlaws definitely did not start the 1/8th mile racing trend. There are several reasons why many organizations use it for the faster classes. The liability insurance is considerably less expensive and attainable whereas track insurance costs for quarter mile speeds is not feasible or able to be obtained for certain races. Secondly, it takes a long time to properly clean up an oil spill from a blown engine or transmission and if they run the full track length instead of 1/8th mile, the propensity is much greater to have oil spills and/or serious accidents. Proper cleanup of these oil spills takes a lot of time and often there is not enough time to clean up these oil spills and still complete the entire event within the time allotment. I would much rather see/compete 1/4 mile races as well but unfortunately we can't always have what we want. The bottom line is: Watch what you want to and don't watch what you don't like. Make sense?
@@jeffleblanc8850 This just in! Drag racing will now consist of 2 drivers pitted against each other in simulators. Fastest reaction time wins.
Cowl hoods aren't Mopar
James Moore - They are if you need to cover up a huge intake and the boosted plumbing leading into it!
Barnett is pretty hard to beat rather watch 1/4 mike sick of all this street outlaw hype no prep tracks terrible to watch cause most of the cars can’t make a clean pass good old 1/4 mike drag racing even bracket racing in the quarter is better than watching fast cars go 4 second down the 1/8 over before you blink
That's bad to the bone100%
whats this crap owner not drivingcar what no balls
Hardly. Many owners, over the years, have had drivers for all different reasons, like they can't pass the physical for the sanctioning body, reflexes not fast enough, too heavy to make the weight break for a class, no talent for driving, no desire to drive, physically handicapped, too many responsibilities tuning, etc., etc. It's rarely a matter of courage. I may very well have someone drive for me someday because I enjoy the mechanical side more.
