wagner Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 5.47 @272 in a Pro Mod :fuckyeah: That is pushing into top alcohol dragster territory kids. These guys have monster truck titty sized balls to run these things out the back this fast. The record was actually set and reset several times, but word on the street NHRA is going to put a stop to this insanity.... Record pass First 270 mph pass in a door car AAANNDDD the fastest side by side door car race EVER. The in-car is just nuts to see the fucking turbo car drive around the screw blower car.

98Formula Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Those were some insane passes. Good to see some new action to the scene. What do you think NHRA will actually do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Those were some insane passes. Good to see some new action to the scene. What do you think NHRA will actually do? Well, first off whatever the NHRA does it will be stupid and wrong, like make the add weight to the cars. That will slow them down for a minute, until they figure out a way around that, then they will be heavy as fuck and fast as hell. I really don't know how you can slow down a class like this, the only rules are the safety rules, that's it. You meet safety and besides that its run what you brung and hope its enough. So right now they are legal to the letter of the law so the NHRA is going to look like a fool no matter what. If they don't find a way to slow these cars down by the Shakedown at Norwalk in October you could see these guys hit the 5.30s because Norwalk is a better track than STL...

Draco-REX Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 but word on the street NHRA is going to put a stop to this insanity.... What makes these cars less safe than faster cars like Funny Cars and Top Fuel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10phone2 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I wonder if its because they don't want a lesser known class running times with the big boy classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 What makes these cars less safe than faster cars like Funny Cars and Top Fuel? They weigh more as they sit right now, and at these speeds that is a big problem. They are also a lot bigger handful to drive. IF something were to happen the result would be terrible. We're taking overcoming the belts, HANS, and about every other safety measure bad. The amount of mass these cars have and going this quick mixed with that MPH is just unreal.
