The smell of drag tyre burning and is contagious ....somtimes that vuicios rear tyre shake scares the shit out of one.... but still safer than flying a small plane in shit weather...
Ferrariman601 violent yes! They use a mouth guard to keep from biting their tongue or chipping teeth if they go into tire shake. There is even evidence of brain damage due to tire shake.
Frightening when it all kicks off. I was trying to count the seconds from when the noise starts till she hits the parachutes, pretty close to 5 seconds. Good to be still alive, she seems to be thinking.
I was talking to an old timer who used to race east coast top fuel front engine. He was telling me stories, funny stuff. When they heard that on the west coast they were using parachutes, not to be out done, they went to the army surplus and picked up a chute and spent a few nights mounting it to what thought would be right. First pass, crossing the finish line, the driver pulled the chute. All excited and feeling pretty darn cool being the first the boys went down to get him and asked how it worked? He said he pulled the lever and his eye balls hit his goggles, the car went up about three feet off the ground and slammed back down, the car stopped in it's tracks. They had bought a cargo chute to push jeep and trucks out of airplanes.
It's not Leah. She has a red helmet. I think by the color of the escape hatch it's Bullet Bob's car. I can't remember her name. I will meet her this year I hope when I race back east at the IHRA Nitro Jams. Great video Mike!!!
How could anyone not be moved to tears,...that sweet sweet smell of Nitro would fantastic..she is so lucky to be able to experience something like that beast..she seems as calm as a rock Awesome lady on an awesome video driving an awesome car..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Not so, fellow. it is helmet air, I confirmed this with a guy I know who presently crews on a local Texas FC and has driven them as well. That IS a ball valve near her shoulder, and no way are they plumbing fuel through the driver's compartment. The fuel shutoff is at the left knee, and operates a bypass valve at the front of the motor by means of a cable. When left somewhat forward, fuel is being bypassed back to the tank. Full back, the engine gets it all. This is probably alcohol funny.
Ya it was left. Next time it could be to the right. It all depends on where the car is pulling you to. It's really a problem if it changes suddenly during the run.
Malakhi Weddington He was just observing the correct nomenclature. Had it been a man he would have made a reference to his balls. Ain’t no need to over read.
Sinse i was diagnosed with diabetes in 1982 i learned to fly a Cessna ....when i went for my ppl medical i was diagnosed with diabetes. ...... that was 44 years ago.
Yes I asked what was in her hand. " the brake" would have been a great answer but you felt you had more wisdom to offer the world. If you know my type you should also know my accomplishments already in oval racing and with your terrific insight Im sure you can let us all know what those are??
Being they did not open the body up to make the final adjustments this seems to be alcohol two speed, the valve near her shoulder is air, however what leads me to believe this could be nitro is the fact that the tube does not stick out the window from the can like most alky cars. Either way awesome video would love to know who the driver was and what the setup was along with E.T. and MPH.
I love drag racing having women drivers, it's ashame that there are not more women in motorsports, crushing the guys egos! That is the beauty of the sport, both genders battling it out on the quarter. Gimme straight line racing over any other racing, anytime!!
No trans in this car, one speed only and a reverser gear. The lever/valve at her left shoulder controls the volume of fuel getting to the engine. During burnout it's at half then it's opened full for the run.
i noticed you ran the fuel pump all the the way open the whole time, what fuel pump do you have on this car? i helped tune an A/fuel dragster in top alchohol and we ran 2 watermans halfway open till we pre staged then opened them all the way like a top fuel car does.
loved seeing this .love going to Lancaster speedway seeing the races wether modifieds super mods or stock cars .this girl is awesome just like other drivers /it takes a special skill to drive a race car .god bless them all.
That said, if this might have been nostalgia FC, would be air shifter for 2-speed as used back when. Question - valve at left shoulder is what? Helmet air? See, I don't know it all, and I have buttons on my keyboard to prove it.
Valve at left shoulder is air for helmet. Lever below that on framerail is fuel shutoff. You have a low side you do burnout etc and right before you stage the car you open it fully and take foot completely off clutch pedal and bump in with brake handle.
I am a proud hippie, all about sustainability, ways to live most eficiantly on our home earth and all. And i Love this shit! i want a 6,000 hp car... that's all there is to it. But seriously, boycott office works! down with Monsanto!
bill Potts no......top fuel funny car is a class,top fuel dragster is a class, just like top alcohol, the "Top Fuel" just indicates what gas they use in them
WillieStroker? It may not be named Top Fuel Funny Car any more but that's what it used to be called. There was Top fuel Dragsters and Top Fuel Funny Car. But trust me the Funny Car still has the same black diamond 8000 hp hemi engine that they run in the Top Fuel class.
BEST ON BOARD FUEL VID EVER!!!
Can't believe she's yelling SORRY at the end!
I'd be yelling HELL YA!!!!
300 watts of surround sound, neighbors loved it!!!!
Bad ass..
She earned the opportunity to do what I dreamed of doing when I was young. Nice to see it.

Holy crap that's violent.
Nobody could ever talk me into getting into one of these. My hat's off to you!
Ferrariman601 violent yes! They use a mouth guard to keep from biting their tongue or chipping teeth if they go into tire shake. There is even evidence of brain damage due to tire shake.
Couldnt talk me out of it
Thanks for the ride!!!!
driver is laurie cannistor, it is a nostalgia nitro funny car and runs agains us in the IHRA, bullet bob is the name of the car and it is a firebird
If you've never been your in for a real treat. They overload every one of your senses. You see, hear, smell, feel and even taste them. enjoy!
*You're
That has to be the 2nd best sensation ever !!! 😇
From 0 to insane in a second! Just awesome!
Its awesome to see the ladies involved so much these days. Takes a certain kind of bat shit crazy to do this! I admire anyone that does it!
Looks a little different inside than it does from the outside. Damn, that's just violent as hell
kepler240 - smoooooth as silk baby and easy to drive. Anyone can do it
WOW Scary but never gets old. They are beasts.......
This is amazing. What an incredible thing these people do!
Man that is just hairy! Pretty cool to watch.

Best cockpit real video I've seen, "Super Cool"
@ 5.23 ... talk about all hell breaking loose ! cool as
Damn that was violent!

fire the dude that supposed to grease the steering wheel
lol!
Tom Mccarron its made to flex in case of a frontal crash, and won’t go through her. Thats why its noisy, grease won’t make a difference.
Just guess it was a dude. Women can make mistakes too
Beautiful ! Envy
Is it just me guys but when I see a girl drag racer I'm like dead in side my heart stops I'm like half way In love.
this girls are awesome
Lol.I know what you mean.It's amazing to see a woman handle all that horsepower
Legendary ZACH4 Gross.
For me I'm fully in love! And I been drag racing my entire life, never stops lol
@@rdtli Most of the girls are World champions - love top fuel for that - puts the girls on an equal footing as the guys.....
That is a nostalgia car btw. Modern nitro funny cars don't have a transmission or shifter button on the steering wheel!
How could anyone not be moved to tears,...that sweet sweet smell of Nitro would fantastic..she is so lucky to be able to experience something like that beast..she seems as calm as a rock
Awesome lady on an awesome video driving an awesome car..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

If I had to guess Id say thats probably a nostalgia funny car.
That was cool.
Love the cackle when she goes to the nitro methane.
She's awesome she deserves all these views. Who's the team?
great camera angle.
Ya it was left. Next time it could be to the right. It all depends on where the car is pulling you to. It's really a problem if it changes suddenly during the run.
Thanks! That makes perfect sense! Im going to watch the top fuel cars at Norwalk in July. Cant wait!
Anyone know the time and speed on this run? Thanks!
That's how fast a run is and when your behind the wheel it seems ever faster, no sooner then your cutting it lose ,your shutting it down
I never get bored with this clip,
Woman driver has Big Ovaries to drive that fast.
Bob maarley
💀💀💀💀
And tons of cash
Female ya mean
Malakhi Weddington He was just observing the correct nomenclature. Had it been a man he would have made a reference to his balls. Ain’t no need to over read.
Damn that's scary! I was getting anxiety waiting for the start :D
thanks for the ride , its a handful
That is great - thanks for sharing.
OMG that is violent. You couldn’t pay me enough to get in that thing,never mind actually drive it.
5:22 - Where interesting starts.
Thank u!!!! Wow that was awesome !!!
Sinse i was diagnosed with diabetes in 1982 i learned to fly a Cessna ....when i went for my ppl medical i was diagnosed with diabetes. ...... that was 44 years ago.
WOW 😶... Now here's where I fell in love 😍🤩😵😵😵😵
Yes I asked what was in her hand. " the brake" would have been a great answer but you felt you had more wisdom to offer the world. If you know my type you should also know my accomplishments already in oval racing and with your terrific insight Im sure you can let us all know what those are??
That is actually scary to watch
Is she driving a nitro injected top alcohol funny car? VERY COOL VIDEO GUYS.
Awesome! 2 speed nostalgia nitro!
At least she kept her eyes open. Not a bad run
Being they did not open the body up to make the final adjustments this seems to be alcohol two speed, the valve near her shoulder is air, however what leads me to believe this could be nitro is the fact that the tube does not stick out the window from the can like most alky cars. Either way awesome video would love to know who the driver was and what the setup was along with E.T. and MPH.
OMG that's the coolest video. You go girl.
I love drag racing having women drivers, it's ashame that there are not more women in motorsports, crushing the guys egos! That is the beauty of the sport, both genders battling it out on the quarter. Gimme straight line racing over any other racing, anytime!!
What a wild ride.
That was bad ass man!!
GREAT FOOTAGE!!!!! Nice job!!
She's badass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No trans in this car, one speed only and a reverser gear. The lever/valve at her left shoulder controls the volume of fuel getting to the engine. During burnout it's at half then it's opened full for the run.
She is fucking awsome driver
It is Laurie Canister
i noticed you ran the fuel pump all the the way open the whole time, what fuel pump do you have on this car? i helped tune an A/fuel dragster in top alchohol and we ran 2 watermans halfway open till we pre staged then opened them all the way like a top fuel car does.
Thanks SO much for posting this video! Very Cool!
One badass chick and that makes her hot as hell.
RaspingPompano2 Disgusting.
loved seeing this .love going to Lancaster speedway seeing the races wether modifieds super mods or stock cars .this girl is awesome just like other drivers /it takes a special skill to drive a race car .god bless them all.
TIMMMAY67 how?
Now I feel like an idiot. Was reading the drama and found her name. laurie haha. Look forward to meeting the team.
looks like leah pruett-leduc! She can drive pretty well!
... it is like opening a window for hell and closing it up 5 seconds latter.
Looks Fun!
dont forget the chute dear.
sorry dad but when you move on to next life im buying me one of these cars with inheritance =)
Have just put this on my main stereo and missis just nearly pooed herself when that car took off!
The driver is Laurie Cannister. Just like it says in the description. She is a great driver and has quite a few videos.
Laurie was 2008 IHRA Alky Funny Car Champ.
Damn cool Lady , did anybody know her name ?
What is in her right hand? Ive been searching trying to find how to drive a drag car but theres nothing I can find
Not for nothin' but "Top Fuel" is a dragster, "Funny Car" is funny car, they are 2 different classes.
Or also a "digger railjob flopper",for those old-school grandstand heros
Whats the button on the steering wheel do?
Girl Power! Wow!
It's 1/4 mile it's at grand bend Motorplex
SICK
cant believe she left the clutch engaged that long
What was her time and MPH on this run?
Grease that damn steering wheel! ;-) Great vid !
I know right? at least hit it with some wd-40
Girls can drive my wife had a shot of my 1564 bhp twin turbo v8 chevy coupe she did well
awesome video , go girl !!!!
Cool video, fast forward to 5:22 for the blast off.
That said, if this might have been nostalgia FC, would be air shifter for 2-speed as used back when. Question - valve at left shoulder is what? Helmet air? See, I don't know it all, and I have buttons on my keyboard to prove it.

too me that button shifts the car
WOAHAHAHAAOOOW!!!!!
Damn this was cool as hell. I would kill to have this opportunity. (Not really FBI)
Is there a part 2!!!!
is it me or is your steering wheel to the left? and if so is why?
When one sees inside like that one realises that if something goes wrong there is so little time to do anything!
There is no such class as top fuel funny car ! Top fuel is a class ! Fuel funny car is a class !
bill Potts no......top fuel funny car is a class,top fuel dragster is a class, just like top alcohol, the "Top Fuel" just indicates what gas they use in them
Top fuel is the fuel they use. So you sir are wrong
yea yea gas fuel whatever smart ass hahaha
WillieStroker? It may not be named Top Fuel Funny Car any more but that's what it used to be called. There was Top fuel Dragsters and Top Fuel Funny Car. But trust me the Funny Car still has the same black diamond 8000 hp hemi engine that they run in the Top Fuel class.
JAY DRAPEAU 11,000 now
