When I was a part owner of a TA dragster in the 80's, the fastest guys were running 5's. Drag cars are simply incredible these days.

@@neilreid2298, No kidding dude, In the 80's when i used to watch the brackets at the local 1/8 mile (Warner Robins Dragway), the fastest guys could only hit a high 4 on a perfect day on a perfect track, now they are hitting high mid 3's without even trying. i remember Don Garlits running 5.10's and approaching 250 MPH. Yeah amazing how far things have come for street cars to hit these kind of numbers

Lucas Brandise can you even call those a cts or a corvette

@@garrett591 wdym it's clearly mostly oem parts 😤😤😤😤

noxious ur right my bad

Its not weird. Its by far, more interesting to see someone even make a caddy dragster regardless of if it won or not. Most people hear Cadillac and automaticlly think slow as a brick and for many years they would have been right. It wasnt until the the luxury cars needing high performance speed trend established by bmw Mercedes and lexus, but then cadillac was forced to do something to stay competitive. And then there was matrix movie and its white caddy, that cadilac started being concerned with speed and making quick cars. Even now when someone says Cadillac, I am used to the last 3 decades reputation of Cadillac, being slow luxury grocerie getters for people over 65.

All NHRA sportsmen events are run 1/4 mile. NHRA Pro Mod, Pro Stock car and bike, Top Fuel Harley are all run 1/4 mile. NHRA TAD and TAFC are both run 1/4 mile. Where you been looking?

And funny car sense scott khalltti passed away

TheMoezilla NHRA changed the 1/4 to a 10000 ft but still call it the 1/4

Go Fast Literally the only two NHRA classes that run 1000ft is Top Fuel and Fuel Funny Car. Everything else is is the full 1320ft.

Joe Real problem most tracks dont give them the space to slow dowm

Jegs is a racing company. They damn well BETTER be breaking records or they'd be pretty damn pathetic wouldn't they? Check out the 100s of stickers from sponsors they have :p

Not in Top Fuel or Funny Car, unless I missed it. Generally turbos produce more power.

Blower car strong in the 60 foot but loses it on the top end.... that's why they and the nitrous cars are good for 1/8 mile. I was just thinking about when nitro dragsters and funny cars were running this fast.

That's a gen1 turbo. Gen2's are quicker off the line even. They've increased so much now that the blower cars are asking and demanding weight increases. Go look at the front of a promod turbo car now and see all the ten pound plates on the front. It's funny because years ago, Stevie Fast made a joke video about turbos demanding a weight gain for blowers but now blowers can't compete with the new turbos spooling on higher rpm ranges with co2 injection.

Love the sounds overall.

You obviously don't race

AGREED...NEXT !

1/8th mile for kids in junior dragsters

Not necessarily no. Again, there's no way you actually drag race if you think that way.

The ⅛ mile is the way to go... That's where the race is... After the ⅛ mile the rest is just holding on... You really got to drive the car in the ⅛ because you got to get it to hit harder then you would in the quarter ¼ mile... You tires are turning faster at the start than in the quarter... But I will say the ¼ mile racing is easier on your car... Your not shocking the car as bad... And you pick it up on the other end...

Yes he did. El General went 5.45 at this same event back in 2017 as well 💪🏽

Definitely a bucket list track!

Josh Thomas that’s a super charger

turbos. and technology along with turbo charging. displacement doesent matter. the engine is just a pump if you have shut tons of boost you can go fast with a go cart engine

Except a funny car goes 1000, not 1320. Trust me when I say that a Funny Car would put another 50-100mph on that speed with another 1/3 of track to race on now.

@@Chris_Harris just think about that... 50-100 mph in 300 feet. Its just incredible

Funny cars have gone 339mph in 1000ft,just sayin.

@@rob.3575 Yes Top fuel funny cars but not top methanol funny cars.

Chris Harris u been that fast before ? Didn’t think so u gotta give props to these guys u would shit ur self being behind the wheel of these

What nitro doorslammer? Those were both on racegas. Trust me bro, Nitromethane is so easy to spot. Everyone either has a mask on or is crying, the ground is shaking so bad that shit is falling off railings everywhere. When they bust a burnout, it's with the nitro turned way down or even off for alcohol because they'd eat part of the clutch/engine doing it. That's why a nitro car needs to have the hood lifted after a burnout. They pull a tie and it turns the nitromethane right up. Engine sounds much deeper because it's actually technically running on a cooler fuel which is why they use Nitro in the first place...the fact that it's power to heat ratio is pretty much unmatched in the world. Lastly, NOBODY in the burnout box even attempts the fingers in the ears thing for sound. EVERYONE has full ear..well for different reasons...first they're crying from the nitro, second a nitro burnout is like twice as loud as racegas one third, fingers just don't work for when those bitches unleash. Any long term nitromethane person is smart enough to know you can't go near one without gear to save your eyes and ears. Most power, most cooling but it's insanely violent. Fun fact...EVERY race they burn a full clutch, every plug, bust shit, bend shit and just create so much chaos from making 10,000HP that they have to pull the full engine apart EVERY run...no "Doorslammer" in this world could even pull an engine and replace it in the time an NHRA Nitromethane car takes to pull an engine apart, toss broken or the WELDED clutch plate stack in the garbage and replace the engine back. Anyways, this has been a post from Dr. Obvious.

And also, the pro mods run on racing gas or alcohol. Troy Coughlin's corvette is turbocharged while the Cadillac in the other lane was supercharged. The only nitro powered pro mod belongs to Scott Palmer.

@@Chris_Harris Thank you

No the end of the track goes uphill. Gives it an illusion of downhill but it is not.

Oh, it sounds a lot better..

Click Here you’re clueless

Because it's a fiberglass lift of body if u where to shut it and look at the ground you can see it and halogen fire bottles through the car if the driver hits that button or heat gets to it the fire bottles will go off for 45 seconds giving you enough time to get out

@@deathsdezine80 Thanks for the info - did not realize there were no floor boards! Is there a firewall?

Yup!! The side by side of Frankie Taylor and Turky Al Zifiri

I went down to the strip last month and they ran 3.57.

NovaBXNY Nova no 5.38 @281 be ekanoo racing

It's not like it looks,its uphill at the end. You have to see it in person.

Full 1320 feet. 1/4 mile.

No, Turky AlSafari (I don't know how to spell it) had the record at 5.46 at 272 mph

Mac Smith Ekanoo holds the record now twin turbo Hemi

He did it at a non sanctioned track therefore no record

LAULII LIONS zap is junk mate couldn’t run a 50 in that nugget of a car if he tried

gay

Yeah a very little bit..but the braking zone is upward so it look like this on video

Wild Bill All of them are. Reasons I don’t know why.

Las Vegas is flat like every other track. The illusion is the uphill shutdown at the end.

It’s not downhill. The track goes uphill after the finish.

Irving Sanguinetti A couple tracks run down hill. Some run uphill. That long of a distance is deceiving for how low the track is. That's probably only a foot or two at the most drop.

Irving Sanguinetti yes

NHRA tracks have a 1% downgrade...as do any sanctioned track. The uphill shutdown makes an illusion of a far greater slant.

Were on about the part that's down hill the opposite numb nuts

Ummmn if this is dreamracing track which it looks like, it is downhill. Been there many times.

Dont let an optical illusion of the track going uphill at the end misguide your judgement.

Nah. Ekanoo racing (not american) holds the record for fastest door slammer car in the world with a lexus running 5.4 sec.

1. There is a difference between fastest and quickest. 2. He is now, but not at the time of this video ;)

It goes like; then you realize that a funny car is faster, then you realize a top fuel is even faster than that

@@mikialela6664 top fuel are the fastest

u666sa when u know damn well yo ass gonna be shaking out yo pants nigga

David Martin rotary....

pete a hemi, my point was it will never be an ls

David Martin nope its a wankel

pete a lol my point proven

David Martin do you even know what a wankel is kid?

These aren’t domestic cars. You can’t buy one. These are drag cars. They would smoke any import. This is pro stock drag racing. These cars have a much higher top speed. They are doing it on the 1/4 mile so they can only do 270+ on this track size.

Also this is a record from almost 5 years ago. They trap 280 and run 3 seconds.

K1 I know they are drag cars 🤦🏻‍♂️ guess what though they are still considered domestics also what funny cars runs in the 3s? Cuz these are doorslammers and imports had the fastest pass at Mdir for years also running 5.66 however the car running that caught fire however now the imports that are in the 5 sec range are constantly running 5’s we hit 5.55 trapping 262 my freind leaving most domestics In the dust

SSJX FATE Funny car racing and pro stock are different dumb ass. Also this is a video from 5 years ago. If cars now are just beating pro stock drag cars from 5 years ago then it might be considered a pro stock car would smoke the new imports.

K1 exactly you top fuel run 3s not door slammers u fucking dipshit and we been beating domestics do u not pay attention correctly?

Corvette wins, not cadillac, big stupid

No the end of the track after the finish line goes uphill.

No. It's just that you're looking 1320 yards down a 1 degree hill. They all look like that unless it's a ghetto outlaw deal.

hq too +andy watterson

+Ken Sakrzewski 308?

+Ken Sakrzewski NA ? JUST TAKIN THE PISS HA!

+Ken Sakrzewski NO i't's obviously stroked

+andy watterson they don't run as fast on flat ground so let's go to a advantage for world record , cause they ain't the best ? hello 308's have more power and they don't want to admit it haaaaa!

Carmelo Santiago El General went 5.40. Don’t forget this video is 4 years old 😎

@@FreeLifeFilms engine?

Carmelo Santiago ProLine Hemi iirc. I know it’s not a 2JZ. Venum and the boys are impressive no doubt!

Note the date on the video ;)

Do u even pay attention? Old vid.....

Paul hdjxnx unofficial record it was in testing

Yes because you could because the need access to the engine to pull the nitro plug and do some other things to the engine after the burnout because if they had them all turned on, the burnout would be a run. They turn a bunch of shit off/down on a nitro car for a burnout because as soon as they turn the nitromethane up, it starts eating engine parts, plugs foul before being burned off, the clutch plates physically WELD themselves together on every run etc etc. Dude, there are tons of "this is a nitromethane funny car" videos on youtube. Go watch one and see how impossible what you just said it plussss learn some on nitromethane engines.
