I JUST COME ACROSS this video, I used to work for Miller Lite back when Larry Dixon drove for them he was always such a nice guy to us and they always took such good care of us in the hospitality area. I had no idea this was going on. The NHRA needs to get its act together, people want this. If i had one thing on the top of my bucket list to ever do, it would be to do this. And i wouldnt care what it costs! Hope Larry wins his lawsuit, he's such a great guy!

I have been around drag racing on and off since 1961 and one of the special things about the sport is that as a spectator, you are allowed to roam around the pit area at will and the fans appreciate that... That makes me think ( and I have been thinking about this for a long time ) Wouldn't it be big if small local tracks would allow people with door cars and aqueduct safety equipment to bring one shotgun seat passenger, like his girlfriend or somebody down track for a ride...??? I really think that would give the sport a boost. Maybe only at the eighth mile local tracks. I s'pose some car owners would find it annoying to have strangers bugging them for track rides though. Your thoughts...???

Yeah, this thing is a unique creature. I've seen two seat dragsters before, but those were always Super Comp type cars. This thing is a whole other animal. LOL. I don't envision any shortage of applicants to take a ride in a top fuel dragster being piloted by one of the all-time greats the sport has to offer. And for anyone that thinks a ride in one of these beasts are "overpriced", I'd advise researching how expensive it is to operate these machines and how much maintenance they require. Top fuel is no place foe penny pinchers or the feint of heart. There is a reason why there are so few top fuel teams in the world today. The cost to run these cars is astronomical. Thank God there are still folks around like Larry willing to do it. Nothing else in the world can compare to a top fuel pass. It just overpowers your senses in multiple ways. I can't even begin to imagine what it is like from the driver's vantage point. This program gives us that chance to find out for ourselves.

Ill stick to working on racecars and building my little prostreet truck. The technology is just advancing so fast. You spend 20k then next year something comes out worth 30k and is better. Just so much to keep up with in racing in any form.

He told me that it would be hard to almost impossible to find a insurance company that would cover such a dangerous entertainment ride....Ask Ron Capps. Go On, Ask Ron. Get Onit, Johnny Onit

I'm not a huge fan of drag Racing, but understand that there is a tremendous following & have no reason to talk crap about it, or the fans. I'm a dirt track guy. It's great that a fan can experience the force of the launch.... I had to think that they don't get to upper speed due to insurance limitations. Some dirt tracks offer the opportunity to buy a few laps in a 2 seater. Many different variations of ride along & even driving experiences are available, dirt, pavement both. It's great that these experiences are available.

Yeah I think Larry Dixon got screwed. I have been an NHRA fan for 35 years, that might change depending on how they treat Larry Dixon going forward. You have alot of idiot's in the NHRA running things that have no business running things because alot of them have never been down a dragstrip, and don't even give a shit about drag racing. The NHRA is either going to get with it, or get the hell out of the way. These teams dont really need the NHRA. These teams could make the NHRA irrelevant overnight if they all got together. An NHRA driver put a modern top fuel engine in a pro mod chassis. Thats trend setting stuff in the drag racing world, Looks and sounds cool as hell. Wondering if the ass holes at the NHRA will squash him the way they are Larry Dixon. I hope you win Larry, for all of our sakes......If the NHRA is smart, they will embrace new ideas. They could capitalize on those new ideas but again, alot of them don't even give a shit about drag racing. So sad!

Been a drag fan for many many years! Been to a lot of races, a lot of tracks, used to be such a thrill and would be jacked up for days after attending an NHRA event. Now with the 4 wide freak show, big bucks multi car teams multi bucks championships being won ho hum boring every year now days. What kept me going was at least seeing my favorite drivers racing one of em being Mr Dixon. Then I heard about the BS taking place with this car project! Unbelievable! I have ridden in the back seat of an Air Force fighter jet before, and will never ever forget that experience! Being behind Mr Dixon in a double up Top fuel car would top that! It would have at least kept me hanging in there as a fan or NHRA drag racing! But sadly my fun meter just continues to drop lower and lower for that sport now.

Wow! Larry, I would like to know how I can get to do this. Price, physical, waivers, etc. If God spares my life, health and strength long enough and I have the money to pay for something like this, I would in a heartbeat. Be blessed!!!!

NHRA needs to talk with the tandem skydiving industry and the USPA, they might get a more realistic story about managed and shared risk. Best of luck from OZ Larry

Insurance only lets us go to 1/8 mile under power with a passenger. With that, we still run et’s in the low 3’s and reach speeds in the 250-260 mph range. Or…if that’s not enough for you we do have a traditional TF car you can drive yourself and that one is setup for 1000’ or 1/4 mile. We had a guy last month go 321 mph while licensing.

@@LarryDixonRacing thanks for the prompt courteous reply. insurance definitely has their say. if you have a moment, are the motors detuned enough that you can get a few runs before a rebuild?

@@johnbecay3859 my pride won’t let me soften tuneup enough to let that be a possibility. If someone is paying for ride in a top fuel car, they are going to get the real thing. On occasion we have swapped drivetrains from TF car to two seater at same event. Between runs engine gets a complete rebuild which includes changing rods and pistons. Fresh clutch as well. It’s as authentic as I can make it.

​@@LarryDixonRacing. Larry thank you for the informative response. Years ago I used to tell people about a 2 seat top fuel like yours. I was scoffed at. Now that you have been doing it for years, i feel vindicated. Your full on tune for the ride car is insightful and interesting. That does show character and authenticity on your part. Your customers get the real experience. Thank you for writing. And thank you for providing us "civilians" a taste of the Top Fuel Experience. Good luck in this upcoming season, john

I have been around drag racing on and off since 1961 and one of the special things about the sport is that as a spectator, you are allowed to roam around the pit area at will and the fans appreciate that... That makes me think ( and I have been thinking about this for a long time ) Wouldn't it be big if small local tracks would allow people with door cars and aqueduct safety equipment to bring one shotgun seat passenger, like his girlfriend or somebody down track for a ride...??? I really think that would give the sport a boost. Maybe only at the eighth mile local tracks. I s'pose some car owners would find it annoying to have strangers bugging them for track rides though. Your thoughts...???
