    I never thought I would see an A/Econo dragster run that fast. If people knew how much was left in this combo, they would not believe it.

      It wasn’t too many decades ago this dragster would have scared some AA/FD’s.

      Delta Wing = Triangular shaped wing, like the Greek capital letter "Delta".😊

    Gotta love all the innovation in this car! Ford fans should demand someone run this engine in Pro Stock!

    That is the most scientific and coolest dragster I've ever seen. I love it and I'm really not a dragster person

    Maybe a view to future dragsters in other categories also? Great video Joe. Thank you.

    That's allot of technology and aero. Really like the dragster. I see the cars number starts with a 5 so is he from D5? Not a ford fan though 😂

      "Attention in the Pits" shows us the Sportsman classes, which I enjoy, rather than endlessly showing us the Pro classes. The interviewer really knows his subject, he educates the viewer without overwhelming us with too many technical details. He introduces the car and its driver, then steps back and lets them do the talking!

    Joe that was a fantastic interview I love the design of this car being a Formula 1 fan , I can definitely see how when Clint sits in there , he is sitting the same angle as a Formula 1 driver .
    I like this that's fantastic the only thing that would top this car of course in a Econo Dragster you can't run a manual transmission but this car would be fantastic with a manual transmission I wish they would allow that in NHRA Econo Dragster .

    • @michaelhalsall5684
      @michaelhalsall5684 7 месяцев назад

      Would a manual trans be legal in A/Dragster? magnificent car!

    • @garymeredith2441
      @garymeredith2441 7 месяцев назад

      @@michaelhalsall5684 Michael that's a great idea the only problem it costs a lot more money to make an A dragster .
      NHRA doesn't want the econo classe's with A manual transmission In these two categories .
      I think it is really sad because if you go the route of A dragster look at the cost of the engine of an econo VS an A dragster engine you're talking three times the amount of money just on the engine alone .

    Really wish Ford would have spent the money for a competitive pro stock team . I know it’s such a big commitment to start a new engine program being so far behind Chevrolet.

    Allegedly their is less than $100,000 in this entire car which if true is impressive considering the motor alone!

  • @michaelhalsall5684
    @michaelhalsall5684 4 месяца назад

    Great to see the innovations in this car. Chassis tuning rather than simply more BHP is the way to go! In Comp. Elim. running very consistently is the way to go, so by being able to adjust traction to suit changing track conditions will aid this. The use of wind tunnel testing is very $$$ but pays dividends!😊😊😊
