Love Santa Pod, spent my late teenage years there, and early my 20's, one helluva drag strip, brilliant atmosphere. Now I go to Kwinana in West Australia, bit smaller but least I still get to see my favourite motorsport. I miss Santa Pod
Why is the racing sound always set to background with open narration mic throughout? Please edit audio to trackside volume during runs as it completely robs the experience of its intensity?
Funny how American drag racers all look and talk like gnarly bone breaking veterans of flame and steel who hunt wild hogs in the off season, while the European racers are all like college freshmen and professors who play Vivaldi on the garage stereo.

Very true. If we had five hundred sound bars.
The European version of the NHRA
I wonder how much fuel they burn
Take a Tesla against these top fuel dragsters! 8000HP BOI
Tesla would get smoked against the nitros. Watch the race at 20:56. That's a sub 4 second quarter mile at over 300 mph. Tesla ain't there yet.

Because some are veterans who like to hunt hogs?! ID SAY!
Ooer! Look at the time in the left lane @25:30 opposite Lucky Devil...... 6.666....
Why do so many cars bog down?
Do you realize how perfect things have to be for those machines to operate?
A lot of power and a lot of grip, needs to be in perfect balance accounting for many variable factors
Safe sport? Scott Kalitta and Darrell Gwynn may say otherwise.
Most sports have their danger zone.
@@johnaerial Yes they do. Yes they do.
Now these guys get to experience what us Americans do every time it gets good enough to drag race at a track
20:52 What you came for.
didnt come for that!
They might do a little better by doing BLEACH burnouts to heat the tires....or at least use a water pit.
