If youve never been to an NHRA drag race and your any type of a gearhead, its something you cannot miss. Just went for my first time and i could not fuckin believe the power of the top fuel cars. At idle its no big deal, at full throttle on the first pass, i had no words
Roman Caddell I can explain it. stand next to a nuke when it goes off. well I guess that wouldn't get you far, but I think that would be the best comparison. hehehe.
I'm pretty sure it's a crank case pressure relief catch can.. oil particles will be pushed thru along with the air the tank collects it to keep it off the track
Puke Tank. Catches Oil & Nitro vapor from the Valve Covers and Crankcase. If Crankcase Pressure spikes ie Burned Pistons, broke Pistons the blower forces air/fuel into the crankcase. That ends up getting blown into the Valve Covers and vented into the Puke Tank.
Fun fact: Reaction engines were banned mainly because they put traction engines to shame....and could be scaled up beyond all human limits just by increasing exhaust nozzle diameter. Nothing has come even close to the acceleration and top speed of the best rocket cars that last raced over 30 decades ago.

Very good video. Fire breathing monsters, still the best description of top fuelers. Mechanical engineering marvels.

they also need to describe how violently loud it is! that's one reason why I go to the U S nationals in Indy every year LOVE THIS VIDEO
That sound is completly unexplainable you have to be there to understand it. Your heart turns to a V8

Spark amperes like a welding machine...a good job!
I LOVE DRAG RACEING !!!!!
Let's keep the love alive. Drag your "nitro virgin" friends with you every time you go. Film them, on the sly.
what is that thing @0:39 sec mark? i always wanted to know what it do thanks!

"BURP tank. Look it up. You'll like what you learn.

Drag Racing is the best racing🏁
Hell yes

+Manintoga 30 decades .. really?
+gullf1sk yup. 1700s.
Shame
30 decades ago, your parents didn't pay much for your education did they. That's 300 years ago.
