Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes it's incredible how fast they run regardless of budget. For sure a $300,000 car with a pulling rig and spare parts to keep it going is a lot of money, but in terms of racing these are lower budget teams compared to pro stock, top fuel, etc. Heck the TV show guys have almost the budget of these guys. This was a steel body car and they think they can get it fixed in time to finish this weekends event. |

These cars are insane and I agree with your earlier statement that we really are in the golden era of racing. When a bone stock 2021 Mustang GT will gap every muscle car from the 60's, 70's and probably the 80's. Then it can be driven 500 miles home 100 degree weather with the A/C on and never miss a beat. Add a procharger, tune and some slicks and run with everything on the strip with the exception of the Top Alcohol / Top Fuel cars. I still love my classic muscle, but there is no denying that modern technology has really upped the game. |

Here is Jason Lee's 3.507 from testing for this event... Some big names are already concerned in pro mod and calling for rules changes for procharger combo's. Jason Lee 3.507 at lights out 12 |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Why no wheelie bars? I'm don't know much about drag racing just wondering. Class rules. That is part of the excitement and challenge of small tire radial racing. Small tires on cars that look like real street cars with no wheelie bars and 3500+ horse power. It's my favorite type of racing. Top fuel and funny car doesn't appeal to me much. |

Thank you, I can't even imagine what 3500+ HP would feel like. Shame to see that camaro get beat up but I'm sure they will have it fixed and running again soon. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Is the parachute automatic, or released by the sphincter clench? Its usually an overhead pull handle. Kinda similar to a twatter throttle quadrant, But just one handle usually. A lot of guys these days have inclinometer and even yaw sensors on their cars which feed back into the computer and are set up to pop the chutes if it sees the car get too far out of shape or the front end climb over a certain level. As fast and quick as they're running these days, it would take some super human reflexes (not to mention presence of mind) to get the laundry tossed out before it's waaaaay too late to do any good. |

These cars run 1/8 mile by the way. Mid 3s at well over 200mph on a drag radial tire. Most are promods that they throw radials on for this event. Stevie fast is the man.

This car was actually in pro275 no pro mods allowed. This Camaro is a steel body car. He used to run radial vs the world, but moved to pro275 because all the cars in RVW are pro mods now. |

He clearly hit the throttle again before the car settled, that appears to be a common mistake. Most of the flyers take off on the second hit.
When you wheelie, you lost, don't hammer it again. Yeah, you MAY push through it, you probably won't though. |

When it came down it started putting the timing back in quick so it ramped the power back up fast. A little timing advance goes a long way with a boosted alky engine. That and the big bounce was a perfect storm. |
