cars in the 4.10s or 4.20s are in the 6.20s or 6.10s in the 1/4. People keep saying they're 8 second cars. Believe me, 193 mph in the 1/8 is at least 223 to 240 in the 1/4 please educate yourselves
+Burnout VW cars that run 4.20s and 4.10s in the 1/8th are cars that are set up to put out their maximum abilities in that distance. That does NOT mean that the car will continue to accelerate at that rate if it were to run in the quarter. Id doesnt translate like you think it does. Please educate yourself.
A 4 sec 1/8 mile car is NOT a 6 sec 1/4 mile pass it would be around a high 7_8 sec run. I've been racing for 15 yrs i run a 9 second chevelle n mile 1/8 mile is a mid 5
invurack420 The professional drivers don't even matter. Have you ever seen a carbon fiber drive shaft come apart during the burnout? I did and it hit fans standing 20+ feet away from the car sending 5 of them to the hospital. I'm sure cyclemaster46 was referring to mechanical failure more than "poor driver" skills.
You madam, are a stupid bitch. You have no idea what you're talking about. I'd light your ass up on the 1/8 and the 1/4. It dont make no damn difference to me and FYI, that grey camaro in the thumbnail, "Hyde", had the belt for the fastest back half in the world.
38:21 - someone tell me what the purpose of that small fin on the very front center of the car is. I've noticed it on a few of them and I'm assuming it's to dissipate a high pressure area but not really sure how it accomplishes that.
Mark - Its a fin, its part of stabilizing and traction. You were right about the high pressure. You know how race cars have spoilers? That thing is part of a spoiler on the front bumper to prevent air from getting underneath the car and causing it to go airborne, or to lose vital traction
Audi LMS I appreciate you answering but you haven't shared anything I didn't already know, nor have you explained how that fin works. Everything about that body is for stabilizing and traction. I want to know how that fin contributes.
Mark - Oh, Sorry. When at high speeds, the fin creates a column of air on both sides, to give it a 'track' of air. It probably also divides the air so it can smoothly flow into the the double superchargers
You have to admire crazed men that pedal all-out in 4 seconds or less in the 1/8th. A LOT of side betting was a going on here to keep it real interesting. It sure beats video games! Best pass that I've seen this year (2016) was 3.63/211 @ MIR.
What car is that at 8:34? It's matt black and is driven by Bubba Livingston. I thought it might be a Plymouth but I'm not too sure. I'm not as educated as i'd like to be on American classics. Would appreciate any feedback guys!
Every one of these cars is quite capable of running 1/4 mile. We ran a best of 4.28 in the first round of eliminations at this race. Then we made a few changes and went 6.34 in Vegas. Roger Holder went 4.16 (I think) at this race and went 6.11 in Vegas.
nitrous oxide, these cars practicly run off of it. its purpose is to increase the total rpms of the engine by adding more oxygen to the air/fuel mixture.
Sigh. The comments people fire back makes it feel like a risk just to ask a simple question sometimes. I was puzzled, and didn't know that "radial" referred to a racing class using specific radial tires.. that's why I asked. My apologies, I know it's an important life skill to know all the drag racing categories in existence rather than just having a casual interest in motorsports on RUclips.
Troy Schweikert they asking if the engine is a radial configuration. You know the engines seen in tractor pulls, pulling 2.5 or 4 tons of dead weight behind them down a 1/4 track.
If they are running 8th of a mile, what do they do in the quarter? 200 plus or blow up? I take it that all of these are the radial engine such as was offered by Mazda many years back? First time I have run across this.
John Schnitzer I guess it depends on who you talk too. This is wikis take LOL {The Mazda Wankel engines (a type of rotary combustion engine) comprise a family of car engines, While The rotary engine was an early type of internal-combustion engine, usually designed with an odd number of cylinders per row in a radial configuration, in which the crankshaft remained stationary in operation, with the entire crankcase and its attached cylinders rotating around it as a unit.} So now Im confused. LOL
There is so much occasion for death and mayhem at that track that it gives me goose bumps. With all those people lining either side of the starting line area if something broke on a car doing a burnout it could careen either way and wipe out a dozen or so people in a split second. The only people on or near the starting line should be a few crew members for each car a track official and the starter. everyone else should be in the stands or well behind the water box, safety, safety, safety.
Exactly what I was thinking…. Set down for Christ sake and let the people that are in the stands watch too. It only takes ONE little thing to go wrong and DAM your DEAD. Whoever owns and manages this track is a FOOL!
Very slim chance of these guys losing control during a rolling burnout. If anything, possible tire coming apart or drive train component letting go and possibly harming someone.
Tristan Yackiw Well, you asked.. It's supposed to be a vette. The front looks like it too, only it's all fiberglass on a tube frame so it's not really a corvette at all.
Looks like the f body camaros and firebirds are killing some ponies here tonight. Getta steppin with that bullmess of a Ford. Remember now what ford stands for.....and it's definitely not first on race day.
John Avitable Just how stock are any of these cars? Is anything stock? Calling them Chevy of Ford mean what; the type of fiberglass body shell they have?
2:18 I'm in love with the look of that Vette!

all of you are wrong
+Jon Allen it all depends bro. everyone has their own set up
14:03 But that wheelie tho! Damn!
The only sound you hear is the cars talking. LOVE THIS VIDEO!!
1:25 - What a noise! Great video!
They need to do something about crowd control. To many people in the staging area. You cannot even see the cars. It's all fun tell someone gets hurt.
These are professional drivers, That do not have fame like the Nascar driver's but just as much skill. I wouldn't worry too much.
invurack420 The professional drivers don't even matter. Have you ever seen a carbon fiber drive shaft come apart during the burnout? I did and it hit fans standing 20+ feet away from the car sending 5 of them to the hospital. I'm sure cyclemaster46 was referring to mechanical failure more than "poor driver" skills.
Exactly !! Only the crew should be in the stage area.
These people hopefully know the risk they take standing up on the starting line. Its nobody's fault but there own if something happens!
14:04 that Monte Carlo was pulling the perfect speed any faster and the wind would have lifted it into the sky.
That's part of the reason for wheelie bars so your car stays on the ground
where's the 1/4 i want to see some action 1/8 is too short
The 1/4 is a thing of the past old man. It took me a little bit to accept it too, but the 1/8 is where its at.
dillon sanford agreed!!
Semaj Notrub 1/8 its shit boring lol
***** you dont need High-octane fuel to run 1/4, this is just way to boring
You madam, are a stupid bitch. You have no idea what you're talking about. I'd light your ass up on the 1/8 and the 1/4. It dont make no damn difference to me and FYI, that grey camaro in the thumbnail, "Hyde", had the belt for the fastest back half in the world.

MajorLeague Marketer You know, you might be onto something there. Not being familiar with the rules at that level, I couldn't argue against it.
it's used to cut through the wind resistance and it also creates downforce
How do they hook like that with Drag Radials? Amazing!
ive never understood why some tracks let people crowd the burnout box like this; what happens if a car catches traction and jumps sideways..?
You have the awsomesed video
13:25 did that grown ass man just squeak?
+Weston White hahahahahaha thank you
😂
Lmfao

What is the white smoke coming off the hood ?
Whsts the use?
Sorry for the ignorance.....
Regards....
+ae70gts nitrous system purge, releases unwanted pressure/air from the system to get a pure clean shot later on :)
What is the white steam stuff that is blown out from the cars sometimes??
Jarrett Justice nitrous purge
What car is that at 8:34?
It's matt black and is driven by Bubba Livingston.
I thought it might be a Plymouth but I'm not too sure. I'm not as educated as i'd like to be on American classics. Would appreciate any feedback guys!
It's hard to tell kinda looks like a Camaro or a Z28
There are some fast cars on it though.
I believe the car you are asking about is a early to mid '70's mustang
That car in the pic is Bubba Livingston's
I thought I saw an AMC or it's a Mach One as well.
Cheers guys!
Whats spraying out the hood at 24:38
Great footage
Nice video,thanks...
What'z up with the left lane?
What is that white smoke that comes out of the hood of the car. Is it like steam?
Veldkamp motorsports 2k18 it’s nitrous they are purging the bottle pressure down to where they think is the best for the run
These are great. Thanx for upload.
Why do they allow so many people around the burnout area and starting line?
I like your vid man. Nice work.
¿Que es la columna de vapor que sale del motor anter de arrancar? ¿la presión del turbo compresor?
Whats THe Beat called :?
What are they doing with their doors?
the charger dude removing the smoke from the cockpit that builds up after the burnout
+MassRacingChannel Oh. Okay
Would of like to see what they could do in the 1/4 mile....
Should be good.. harder to hold together, but these looked like stout cars..
None of them are built for quarter mile.
DragRacingCentral that's what I wanted to know thanks supper fast cars I like better the 1/4 mile is more of a challenge.
Every one of these cars is quite capable of running 1/4 mile. We ran a best of 4.28 in the first round of eliminations at this race. Then we made a few changes and went 6.34 in Vegas. Roger Holder went 4.16 (I think) at this race and went 6.11 in Vegas.
now they are racers quick change readend?
7:33 is that Scotty Cannon?
Why do some of the cars have that purging system, where before they start air is coming out the engine and it looks like smoke
It's nitrous
nitrous oxide, these cars practicly run off of it. its purpose is to increase the total rpms of the engine by adding more oxygen to the air/fuel mixture.
Are these radial engines, or rotary engines?
are you forreal right now? lol
Sigh. The comments people fire back makes it feel like a risk just to ask a simple question sometimes.

Don't be scared of the internet for the internet is scared of you..

Aslo Olsa it's 330 feet for truck pulls
Surprised by the amount of 4th gen Camaro bodies. Awesome to see.
Nice video!
You tell me Robyn, Drag racing, best sport in the Wfw!
Wonder what happened to the viper.
Jesse Silva to h just. Pp
Question, why do they purge so much?
Martin Doesntcare makes them feel "big" and "tuff" lmao
To get air out of the lines
To get the bottle pressure to what they need it to be
Radial vs The WORLD-Fastest Drag Cars 👍🌏🎥💵🏨🚘🚘🚘🎰🇺🇸
Am I correct to believe that these all have radial engines? Radial in the sense of piston orientation relative to an output shaft
Disposition Bladeworks radial is the tire they run not the engine
good video
when are you doing a new video
What would these cars run in the 1/4 ?
Low 7's to high 6's probably.
What's the steam/white smoke that blows out from the hood?
Love watching these. Been watching these and the big tractor pulls. :) Awesome.
+Nick Miller purging the systen, getting air out of the lines to spray nitrous
what is it the cars are venting ?
When you see the gas spray up, that is nitrous. They open the doors to get the tire smoke out of the cab. Not sure what your question was exactly.
4d4mz I think he means the steam coming of the roof
Differenec between drag and normal race? anyone?
ini mesin rotary semua kan? | all rotary engine ?
Greatttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!! Ellery Oicle, Halifax,Nova Scotia,Canada
I had my bets on that grey like gold car with black tripes on it with the extra back end the one that jerks a lot like crazy
At 40 secs on the vid
What happened at 20:24 I'm lost
He waited to Spool the turbos so the other guy wouldn’t burn him down
Good driving and great balanced cars!
But many people around...
If they are running 8th of a mile, what do they do in the quarter? 200 plus or blow up? I take it that all of these are the radial engine such as was offered by Mazda many years back? First time I have run across this.
Radial tires. I see the confusion..Most of these are good ole American V8 Muscle.
radial engine? I could have sworn it was a rotary engine.
There is such a thing as a radial engine. Used in aircraft. But something tells me these are not powered by radial engines lol.
John Schnitzer yes lol, or else there would be ALOT more vibration
John Schnitzer I guess it depends on who you talk too. This is wikis take LOL {The Mazda Wankel engines (a type of rotary combustion engine) comprise a family of car engines, While The rotary engine was an early type of internal-combustion engine, usually designed with an odd number of cylinders per row in a radial configuration, in which the crankshaft remained stationary in operation, with the entire crankcase and its attached cylinders rotating around it as a unit.} So now Im confused.

In 6:38 did anyone notice on the car it says Team El Negro
love this . bad ass race cars
The little fin breaks the beam on the timing lights! middle of the lane? never knew the crews to be that blind as to need a guide fin?
Richard Shields the “fin” is a wind splitter it doesn’t effect timing lights at all

Eh, they're all darwin award participants
Damn these engines, wish the uk had engines like this
it would be unaffordable
it would be unaffordable
I have a question. How do these cars not do wheelies? There are cars that aren’t as fast that do huge wheelies.
hotdogbun22 it’s all in the chassis setup
waw its amazing man
All these people at the starting line are asking for it.......All you need is one guy to loose it during a burnout.............
Very slim chance of these guys losing control during a rolling burnout. If anything, possible tire coming apart or drive train component letting go and possibly harming someone.
bullshit last weekend at south coast raceway Portland Victoria we had nitro funny car and in an 1/8 of a mile they got up to 212 miles and 346 kph
damn
nice ride
Oh To Be There.Ellery Oicle,Halifax,Nova Scotia,Canada
5:30... I pretty sure big daddy jumped
why do they keep opening and closing the door?
Scream machine's are too hot.
when you want show us another vid !!
Cool man
man where is the 1/4 at
How do they even control them
I cant wait for one sixty fourth of a mile racing. Boy... the insurance companies will really be happy then.
Why does the car in the left lane always win?
Hold up hold up
In the first launch. Did he even change a gear?
HOT DAM I DO........THEM boy's rolling!!!!!
This is madness!
so fast wat are those pink shoes
I like the vette @ 13:36
How to long race
check out jeff lutz street camaro 4 second car runs low 6's in 1/4 all day long so please educate yourself
I like the 1/4 mile too but i dont remember 1/4 mile cars in this type of class going this fast at the 1/8 mile mark , and you live longer
Old school @ 08:23.
Yes
how do they accurately measure how fast the cars go
+Andrew Richardson
There are 2 camera's/sensors set a specified distance apart at the finish. Timed and calculated.
+Bill Schwerman ok thanks
@@matbasterson2128 i have a question, what's the vertical front wing on some cars? Thanks!
