Missed part 2. Got it a year later. Funny how that works. For reference, ON THE AVERAGE, Classic muscle car fender washers are 60 thousands thick. Some are 40 and some are 50, depending. 50 thousands is a pretty loose clutch pack setting, i would hazard a guess. You can buy a single disk slider like above for your race car, with adjustable primary and secondary fingers. Alot of work rocking that clutch. Carry a spare disk or two, and get good at pulling trans apart to adjust/replace clutch. Good for 1800hp they say.

Fascinating! I'm very pleased you took the time to share your rare expertise. Thanks.

Ripper Good Mate, I’ve been machining a 1:25 scale Top Fuel Complete Dragster & needed some close up Pic’s, as well as Pic’s taken while disassembled. All to draw up to small scale & start machining parts. Your video Hit EVERYTHING NEEDED!!! 👏👏👏👏👏Saved me so much time- THANK U!!!! Lee ☯️ZenModeling

Brilliant explanation 👏 thanks for sharing 👍

Saw that big clutch and thought this was going to be the band ripping out a new song.

Great video, first I have ever seen on top fuel clutch.

Yea Steve listening to it on the computer with stereo head phones on it does sound a bit off

Making the right noises, Steve👍🏻 🔥😎🔥

I have always wondered if you keep a set of (16) spaerk plugs just for a warm up Or does one set do the warm up and a run?

Offsetting the carbon offsets one warmup at a time ;-)

Cant wait

Great tutorial. Fantastic.

Fuel line? Its more like a bloody downpipe for your gutters!

Awesome vidjeo sir would like so many more like it recently Jack beckman called an event in Bredenten FL. i learned so much much about the fuel cars thank you for sharing Sir

Nice to see you're still up and running, it's been a few years since I was with TA/D. i love the picture of your fathers car with the donovan 417... is that an old "frankenstein magneto" i see..?

Ripper info for the TF system Mate! Best info I've viewed in 40 years💯💯 Thank U - I'm definitely a new Subscriber✅ Lee

Interesting, the canon looks like a htob (hydraulic throw out bearing).

I'm interested in your statement about adding cutters on the floaters. I guess in my mind adding cutters would make it more aggressive, not slow it down for a looser track. Can you expound on that? In our TAD we have a 3 disc pedal clutch, we run a 3 or 6 cutter full width floater in the front and a 9 cutter half width floater in the back. I haven't learned exactly why yet but I'm interested in your thoughts about floaters.

I absolutely LOVE these videos and cannot wait for the next one(s)!!!

Lost me at litre lol

Omg!!! It tore up the down nozzles too or was that just to get them free on disassembly?

Promo`SM

Probably the best explanation I’ve heard. Didn’t leave me with any, but, what about this or that. Thank you for sharing!

Hard to fathom that an engine can actually use that much fuel in such a short time

Way less complicated than the space shuttle fuel pump lol

Good

Good

Great video Steve, Remember watching you race T/F at Willowbank years ago.

With the fuel pump driven from the cam, it the cam belt driven from the crank? Do you worry about the belt breaking? Or are you running like a Pete Jackson gear drive? To give it a mechanical connection?

Great info Steve, love the videos.

Thanks for sharing

Great video. I see alot of teams take off the fuel line from the barrel valve just before shutdown, why is that ?

Absolutely love your videos! Could you do a video sometime on what a crew chief does at the starting line as far as adjusting various settings/air bleeds?

Incredible information for those that are interested ! I am one of them.............thank you so much.

Thanks Steve. Very informative video. Are you running at the first event at tailem bend?

Hell yes a new video! Thanks.

6:34 Well THAT looks like it's going to be veeeeerrry exspencive 😳 as the car split in half and caught alight.

Great video Steve, I love drag racing, but I love learning about these amazing machines 👍...

wow!!! engineering masterpiece.

Big money

My friends Modified Pulling Tractor has a "Crower-Glide" Style Clutch and he does not use a pedal at all, 100% centrifugal. - It works great!

Anyone know how much those 11.5” carbon fiber brake rotors cost??

Fascinating as F

Very cool 👍

Black magic, voodoo

GREAT videos...keep em coming please!

Still blows my mind that all that POWER and all that TORQUE from the engine is held to the frame by simple HOSE CLAMPS!!!!!

So privileged to watch a true expert describe his passion

In a way it's kind of similar to a snowmobile primary clutch with weights and profiles. The drag car clutch is way more complicated and more tuneable. Cool stuff.

I have one of those in my Prius.
