    I'M a veteran 1/4 mile jockey from the late 60s. These boys have redefined the term. "Fast!!" For me. These numbers are mind boggling. Jeeeeeeezus!!!

    Two incredible racers who built and maintained two of the baadest cars to ever go down the dragstrip. Hope today's future racers learn and have the class that these gentlemen have. They are both winners. Thanks guys.

    I'm more of a track guy than a street guy, but you still have to respect these guys! This takes balls!

    I love Larry's comment about the sheriff. I was following him for about 30 miles before I lost him at a light... just before he got pulled over. Needless to say, the whole time I was following him on two lane blacktop thru Texas, we rarely dipped below 85! Yep, he is the fastest both on and off the track! :)

    @ShoulderThrow140 12 лет назад

    Man, these cars are crazy! I went to one of the Mopar Nationals competitions, and saw a funny car run a 6.6, and when the guy finally came on the throttle full, you could FEEL the sound of the engine. And these are street legal cars, running high 6's! Respect for these guys, definitely.

    Sorry guys. The 5500hp is definitely a typo. The '57 Chevy is actually 2500hp.

    Thanks to all at HRM for the coverage during drag week for those of us not able to be there. It was great to follow along to see if the King kept his crown. They are catching up to him so can't wait till next year. I bet the combatants aren't quite ready for the carnage again yet.

  • @freddiebobby3415
    @freddiebobby3415 11 лет назад

    A true car fanatic doesn't compare vehicles who have different purposes, but appreciates them in their own right. The veyron was built to beat the top speed record for a road going production vehicle. The cars in this video were hand built through countless man hours to live by the 1/4 mile. Both are eaqully as amazing.

  • @theflash1292
    @theflash1292 12 лет назад

    you guys should talk to SPEED channel and try to turn this into a TV show somehow. Something like PINKS All Out but instead of just showing races show the traveling part too, and focus on all the classes instead of one. That'd be pretty cool I think. Awesome video!!

  • @RonALampman
    @RonALampman 12 лет назад

    That was AWESOME! But please tell me, did they change out their rear differentials before going on the street? I had a 68 chevelle SS with a 427ci and 4.88:1 rear dif strip car that I put on the street. I could barely pay for gas (leaded premium back then) after replacing the turbo 400 tranny 5 times. At least on the 5th replacement, a guy that does hot rod transmissions built it rock solid with shift kit, valve body, and a few other tricks. I miss that car and those times.

    I see Jeff Lutz and his 57 Chevy ran a 215mph 6.90 pass at a NMRA Lone Star Shootout street race last month in Baytown Texas ! That is faster than any NHRA Pro Stock has ever run.

    " ran a disappointing 7.07 " in a street car with a license plate, that is why people love this !!!!

  • @IloTimo
    @IloTimo 12 лет назад

    A low elapsed time is down to a good launch (=low 60 ft. time). The difference in trap speed may be down to the car with the higher speed having traction issues at the start and having more horse power. Did you also notice Dave Ahokas running a 7.00 at only 194 mp/h?
    It would have been great if they showed us their timeslips so we would be able to see where the difference is (i.e. 60 ft., 330 ft., 660 ft. and 1000 ft.).

    Going on this trip is on my bucket-list. Just as a spectator to see these cars in person. Building cars that can do the 1400 miles AND run like this seems almost impossible.

  • @raysun2be
    @raysun2be 12 лет назад

    I wonder what kind of MPG a 2,500 HP car gets on the highway. Especially one that's geared for the strip. Great contest! Truly a "run what ya brung" event!

  • @kronikinsomniak
    @kronikinsomniak 12 лет назад

    3 seconds is huge in a drag race. Power to times is not a linear graph, it gets exponentially harder the faster you go. Going from 200mpht o 210mph is a ridiculously harder than 50mph to 60mph.

  • @Acidicheartburn
    @Acidicheartburn 12 лет назад

    Probably because these cars are some of the hardest accelerating cars in all of automotive racing. THE fastest if you consider the top classes like Funny Car and Top Fuel, among a few others. Nothing beats such awesome displays of horsepower.

  • @MrLincoln87

    Larson to me seems like abit of a gentleman's racer, very understated. Lutz looks and sounds like his ready for a reality tv series

    • @Tunechi_Lee
      @Tunechi_Lee 8 лет назад

      Agree fully about Larry, but you don't know much about Jeff if that's what you believe.

    • @MrLincoln87
      @MrLincoln87 8 лет назад

      +Tunechi Lee Just the way he goes on about a few things. But yes, I know very little about Jeff.

    • @Tunechi_Lee
      @Tunechi_Lee 8 лет назад

      +MrLincoln87 If you haven't, check out episode 16 of roadkill. Jeff is all over that episode and maybe you can get a better feel of who he is.

    • @skulljer9419
      @skulljer9419 6 лет назад +1

      Tunechi Lee -you probably already know this by now but Lutz is one of the top racers on "street oulaws"

  • @salmonowiczdavid
    @salmonowiczdavid 12 лет назад

    It's not just the speed, it's the time, he got going that fast at the end because the car has so much top end power, but his launch wasn't as good as the best times. It's not just HP, it's traction too.

    Once you're geared to run 200+, its not like you've got 4.11s out back. Figure 200 at 9-10,000 rpm is 3000 at 60 mph. I remember the Six Seconds car used to take the whole blower off between stops, and the black Camaro from years past would cut the blower drive belt off before hitting the road and install a new one at the next track.
