Just for clairification the oil isn't a normal occurance. We're making 31lbs of boost and some oil managed to find its way out. We had the valve covers sealed up tight by the next pass. Thanks for watching!

Great piece of driving, when the rear wheels got loose, he pedaled, shifted into high gear, gathered the car back up and was on the throttle in less then a second and only lost what, a few 100ths of a second, maybe a 10th? Tach check at the end of the run was right on the line, 8k Love watching good drivers do their thing!

Wrapping your legs around a transmission powered by a engine like that must be terrifying. Must have one hell of a scatter cage to protect your legs

When that engine blows it will be one hell of a vasectomy

That's how I go pick up my pizza.

No car like a Mopar.

Amazing how much steering he actually does on the way down the strip.

Half the horsepower in that engine is spent carrying the weight of John Troxel's balls. Holy $hit...

That’s a funny lookin’ car

Awesome!

Dumb question: His right leg was bent most of the time. Does he step on the gas pedal like you would a road car? I’ve been wanting to see a GoPro like this for a long time.......AWESOME!

Old school distributor in the back hemi?

Looks way sketchy to be stradling a trans tunnel in something like that. These guys have balls!

Two speed Lenco ?

Can someone explain to me how the guy revs the engine and launched

No blower bag and no high rev launch, really a TAFC or some local nostalgia thing?

what transmission?

How start that engine

That hemi has the distributor in the Wrong place. I hope it's a chrysler 392 & not a chevy

What trans are you guys running? I've never seen that shifter in the middle setup before.

No HAANS Device?

How do you get out / get the body open in an emergency?

Yep, that proves it. You have to be crazy...…………………….

Take your time getting him out of there, that truck should have been at the end waiting on him, thank God he didn't have a Fire 🔥 or wrecked out, training day's again for your crew,, y'all can get coffee later,, 😕

Wears melanie

not a funny car but alright lol

That drag racing type of steering wheel that's been used forever is really stupid and hazardous! Why the hell doesn't NHRA allow a slightly bigger circular "quick-disconnect type" steering wheel that would make it easier to control drag race cars, both Funny Cars and Top Fuel. 🤷
