Note to self, don't hitch the sled to the front axle.

does anybody ever win?,how much does a winner make?i've never been to one of these pulls before,but if they win,does that prize money enough to repair the damage done to the trucks?,looks pretty expensive,but all the trucks have a beautiful paint job🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@jerryedwards4489 think of this as an outtake reel.

@@jerryedwards4489 $300, $400, sometimes $1700. It all depends on the purse, the league, if extra sponsors kicked in some extra kitty in the pot.

Best comment!!

por que isso aconteceu

You know if the engine had blown, come Monday, man there would have been a whole lotta 'splainin' to do.🤭

That was new

It's uncommon to see frames fail on these things among the thousands of parts that do but it's usually in spectacular fashion when they finally snap

The rare and super expensive frame failure hardly seen in action but it's as much of a whack to the wallet as an engine explosion

It folded like a cheap tent.

Normally they dont shoot frames either😊

You my friend is a bona-fide car guy

And breaking. LMFAO 🤣🤣

@@protipskiptoendofvideoandr286 I respect toughness.

Many of tese things are such a far departure from production vehicles that I seriously don't think we can call any of them fords or Chevys any more even if they have the badge on it

love the dog just chillin in it like another day at work

damn, I didn't notice his helmet fell off, and he almost went through the windshield

Yes most definitely.....Former NHRA for many year's you better have All of the Belts pulled tight , why wouldn't you.? Good noticed friend. Nitro Joe.

@@josephtilotta2137 It’s crazy. Ive been around dirt and drag racing my entire life, and I don’t think a lot of people realize the importance of properly mounting your belts and synching them down the the point it compresses your body down. And the helmets…. Come on lol That’s common sense. Some of these guys heads are bouncing around and off the cage, kinda like a fuel car when it shakes the tires. Unfortunately, we saw what happened to medlin, so some sort of containment seat or, at the very least, the isp head rests mounted to the roll cage could help. I’m a safety nut I guess, I’ve broken numerous bones and had a few too many concussions to care about the coolness factor anymore lol.

As a drag racer in both NHRA and IHRA you’d be amazed by how many people don’t wear their belts tight enough, don’t wear their fire suits and don’t do their helmets up properly. I couldn’t imagine being able to move in my seat. I’d feel so unsafe

I remember that day like it was yesterday. Getting to work and watching people sitting around a computer watching the news. Smoke coming off the Pentagon as I driving by on my way to church to pray. Seeing a sweet lady that had soiled herself and overheated her Mercedes on the way home. Airmen sitting in the back of a pickup must have been a dozen of them. 9-11 was a tough one. So the JD is almost back together. And they have another one in their stable. They are ready for another 15 year dominating stretch.

@@WWPTV THANKS for your Reply! Yeah, re: 9-11, we could talk for Hours! Can you Please tell me WHAT Caused the Destruction of that DEERE? That was NUTS! I Shared it with a Bunch of Folks, and have watched it at Least 25x, so far!

@@sevenwonders1717 The way it was explained to me is they heated up the frame over the years to make welds and customizations. Most pullers do this. But they seldom take the frame rail covers off and inspect the frame. So as the vehicle lifted for the start of the boost part of the run, the frame simply buckled. I have talked to a number of pullers and they all told me they are more vigilent about this than before. I can carry 2500 pounds on the nose easy. They had 1800 on the nose this event. They were just lucky it wasn't toward the middle or the end of the run. These guys live about 45 minutes from me. I should go check in on them soon.

@@WWPTV WOW! Thanks for letting me know! Appreciate your Channel!

I'm going to Hazard a guess that was either his tranny Driveline or clutch going nuclear

hell,i dont see the winners,ive never been to one of these events,is the money they get enough to fix or repair the damage that happened?looks very expensive,all of them have nice paintjobs🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

4: not using the front axle of a lawnmower and assuming it'll catch the heavy engine when coming down from a wheelie.

If not, they will soon. Once you start hopping you should back out of it or you're gonna fuck something up.

Possibly not mounted probably so much force on the engine mount ripped it straight out awesome to see

Thanks AP! We appreciate you. Glad someone notices the effort we put into these.

Doubt he was wearing his chinstrap.... if you're not wearing it, getting bucked will knock your lid off.

Wild Rides! Yeah, I tried not to put any cupcake footage in this one. And I didn't want to beat up on any one puller too much. YES! Get those chin straps cinched up and fastened. In the words of Frank Rittenhouse from Tommy Boy, "YOU GET HIT IN THE HEAD WITHOUT WEARIN' ONE OF THEY'LL BE SCOOPING YOUR BRAINS OUT WITH A *** **** SOUP LADLE!"

@@WWPTV 🤣🤣 love that movie, miss the guy.... and i do agree, WEAR THEM CHINSTRAPS!

Awesome response, too. After noticing the helmet was gone, he donned his cap. 🤣

@@WWPTVTommy what the hell you doing? "I'm just checking the specs on the rotary....gerter... I'm...I'm.. retarted" 😆

Alcohol/Methanol. So the three things any engine needs is air, fuel, and spark. The primary fuel is racing fuel on most trucks. On diesel vehicles it’s diesel of course. But there is also biodiesel. There is alcohol in Light Limited Super Stock. On the blown engines when paired with higher compression and/or higher boost, more enrichment of alcohol fuels can retard detonation or overheating. This can result in more power. However, the extra fuel from a rich mixture of methanol, ethanol, or gasoline does not directly contribute to power. Extra fuel from enrichment does not burn. Instead, it goes out the exhaust as wasted fuel. Increased enrichment of methanol or ethanol fuels dramatically reduces combustion chamber temperatures. Gasoline is run a bit rich as well for off idle throttle response. However, gasoline is limited in the amount of enrichment since extra fuel will fowl out the spark plugs. Hope this helps.

Yeah rough ride for sure. It sounded mean!

@@WWPTV them boys have had a hard time learning how to drive that thing and they had to basically rebuild the top end when they got it, they’re doing pretty good now I’m hoping to see em in Louisville one day 💪

Which one? 10:19 Is a JD Light Limited Super Stock on alcohol. 11:06 is a JD Light Pro Stock on diesel. 11:50 is a JD Pro Farm on diesel. John Deere blocks had always produced a different note. You could look to the John Deere 4020 as the need to shift gears without pause, slow down, or depressing a clutch. The other note is there are a lot of parts aftermarket to increase the performance of these machines.

If you understand what I'm talking about, It's very easy to see.

@@sevenwonders1717 yes, the guys who have no clue absolutely destroy their rides

@@clayhx5575 Indeed!

I'll never understand why some just keep it screaming until either the engine blows and/or they pop that transmission but yet some just cruise right on through smooth as a whistle...🤔🤷‍♀️

Some of those drivers weren’t wearing helmets.

Toby Sprouse. It is a Small Block 4x4. Check out that playlist on WWPTV

They say the cost of pulling hasn’t changed in a 100 years, “It takes everything you got.”

I have heard it said, the last 5 feet are the ones that get you! But think about it this way, the sled will expose any weakness your vehicle will have. The weakness is there, and you want it exposed sooner rather than later. Or maybe you don't. One puller must have been 5 years ago had a whistle during his runs and he was winning or number 2 just about every hook. And everybody was like, leave it alone, it's fine. Well he got into it and found it out and in the middle of the season. He could have kicked the can down the road a stretch until it really exposed itself. It cost him points that year, but he did find the weakness. So there are always a few ways to look at it.

Rebuilt. And Rebuilt again.

Rolling weight varies class to class. A typical sled setting would be 44,000 of rolling weight that is converted to drag weight near double that by the 200-250 foot mark. The sled operator can change weight, how fast the weight moves up the rails and where it starts on the rails. They have options to stop any pulling class.

@@WWPTV wow that’s really cool

Can you show us the new 2022 "." And "," models?

when ev's start running these, there is still going to be carnage. to push electric motors like this will create alot of heat in the motor and especially the batteries. discharging the energy required will require alot of engineering to make it work without turning a truck into a fireball. and how exciting is a near quiet truck pulling a sled

"Playing with fire" pulling team LOL

I’d watch the probable carnage, if anything just to see an EV go critical - with the driver being safe, OBVIOUSLY.

But... But loud diesel noises!!! Rods sent to orbit! Engine blocks on drivers laps! All the fun stuff!!!

The class is called Wheel Standing Mega Trucks. 🤣

You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel.lol

😆😆😆👍

How dare you

He was fighting this truck toward the end of the year. He did that at the end of the season as well. Its firing on all cylinders now.

Cat engines or actual kitty cats?

Hahaha. Yeah. Not good when that shows up. But sometimes they pull the sled too.

We get that a lot. It is a fine line and these guys do it so well.

So the frame broke. This chassis was roughly 15 years old and had been rebuilt several times over. A lot of times rules changes happen and things need to be modified. Well, they have rules that state, "frame rails must be covered" making is hard to visible inspect rails. This was a freak accident and the driver was fine.

Yep. Seen it pull in person a couple dozen times and it never gets old.

Just seen pictures of the frame is now rebuilt. They actually upgraded tow of their frames this offseason.

@@WWPTV looks like the engine was alright though it was still running when it broke

this is a stupid question,i know do they burn diesel or it some kind of high octane?👀👀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Heard a comment by a tech official over the weekend “We need to come down harder on helmet straps!” It is a problem.

The frame split. The engine bolt guidelines are bolstered for 2022 even with recent happens that took place in 2022. The frame on this John Deere was 15-20 year old frame. It has pulled about 50-60 times a year over that period. It was just tired.

@@WWPTV Thanks for the explanation. Seeing as how everything depends on the frame, when it fails, EVERYTHING does!

Think of this as an outtake reel. If every pull went all the way down the track with nary a misfire, it would be like watching paint dry.

Stupid question

@@cjanderson4593 then why respond?

@@Renville80 ah ok, I just see it happen a ton, mainly with tractors

Yeah, but one of the welds held on for dear life. If anything from last year taught is anything was check your stuff, the hidden stuff, the underneath stuff. And check it again. And keep checking it.

@@WWPTV the sudden jerk forward towards the Dirt Pile would have me shit my pants it just shows you how much faster these things are without the trailer on them
