Pulling the chutes takes the wind out of you. I've only experienced it in a 8.50 car with 1 chute and it's rough I can only guess what 3 chutes at 300 feels like but I imagine it's a little hard to breathe.
Well they are pulling like 6 g’s so that’s enough to limit your breathing and the negative g’s on the top end when the laundry comes out. They take a beating.
One of the two best onboard views I've seen, the other has been gone for some years now... Awesome, love hearing the engine pulling as the clutch locks up.
The driver gets most of the credit, particularly from the TV side, bit it's the crew that does most of the work. Getting 11,000 hp just to stick to the track not having anything blow up is nothing short of a miracle.
AWESOME! The consummate professional. Great pass. This must be the ultimate adrenalin rush. Great job Leah & to her team. Hope to see her perform at an event someday...👍😎
After all the drag races that I have been to and have watched on TV I have found it to be extremely rare for the driver not to give his or her crew(team) and sponsors thanks and praise for getting them to where they are, especially in the Top Fuel classes.
What these cars do to your body is amazing.. when they launch you can literally feel your organs jiggle inside you...the nitro makes your eyes water.. everyone should experience NHRA once in their life
Ticked that bucket list item off when I was in the states few years back. I wasn't even slightly prepared for the sensory overload that comes with watching a pair of these run the quarter, in between crying like a little girl thanks to the nitro. Definitely a life altering moment
@@brianwright9514 experience only makes nerves go away when you're complacent and don't respect the dangers involved. That's not a good thing. Adrenaline makes you more alert, it makes you focus as your body is basically in a fight or flight situation and has to be ready to think/act.. ever wonder why when things mess up in a high adrenaline situation you can almost feel like you're watching things in slow motion?
breathe...wait....fiddle.....wait....yellow....POW! steer steer steer listen to the revs steer steer ..... off the gas..... flush of emotion...... breathe...
Man, I wish I had the chance to do this one time! I know I could do it, I just know it!!! I’ve been hooked since I was 3 years old & it all started at Rockingham, NC!!!
Way harder than it looks but you can attend Frank Hawley's drag school and try your hand at something with about 1/12th the power- you'll probably find that's about the max the average person can manage. Leah's beast is approx 10,000hp and she has years of experience. No way to describe what it would be like to make a sub four second pass.
@@anthonypoltes7413 That sounds like the most logical thing. Turning on Racepak, doing all that stuff. Been binge watching some channels with behind the scenes stuff, and some teams do the same stuff in their own ways.
I'd really love an answer to this - hear (read) me out, After the burnout heats the tyres, some drivers have a up to 2 minute window before they're off down the track. Surely the burnout is a moot point after waiting that long ?
No. Theres a lot of heat built by all of that fiction. That combined with the track surface maintains plenty of heat for the newly exposed tire surface to stick to.
@@crackjack8320 pretty sure that's just water? normally one of the guys who stays in the centre of the two lanes sprays the water box with...... water?
You can hear her breathing hard..... Imagine what that feels like to a newbie. She has done it many times and it still scares the shit out if her That things rowdy
me thinking they could have pointed the camera up a little more... until after blast-off and i can see the helmet opening now that her head is pushed back haha
I was expecting her engine to explode or her car to break in half or a parachute malfunction or all four wheels to come off or a deer to run out in front of her. This is the first time I've seen her make a quarter mile
The only view we've all been waiting for and it was awesome. What a terrifying and amazing ride that would be.
Yep I was waiting for that one. Think I'll watch it another 20 times
Amazing at how much that enclosed canopy reduces noise.

What ?????? I cant hear you over the nitro V8 !!!!!!
@@souqmadiq4835 I imagine a lot of it has to do with traveling at half the speed of sound and the engine being behind you.
@@humang I would have to agree, although even at a stand still it’s still muffled compared to being out of the car, the helmet would help a bit too
Immediately congratulates the team that’s professional
Leah always finds the best ways to share the ride. BADASS
The breathing at the end of the run added a layer of insight I haven’t seen(heard) before!
Makes you wonder if she was holding her breath from the time she rolled into the beams til she got thru the traps at the end, right?

2:01 The moment the clutch welds itself together and the RPM's drop for a second!
Nice spot on the detail.
Bloody hell, even the camera nearly blacked out!
Wow! I have a new appreciation for just how limited your vision, steering and options are if things go wrong!
This is the best cockpit view I've ever seen. Normally is a shaky GoPro and you can't see anything
Her words says it all. Its the team that makes it happen.
I agree except the team is not sitting in that thing going 330 mph, she is. She is a lot braver than I am.

Props to her for giving the team credit after a fantastic pass. Most driver are all ego. This is sportsmenship and love for the craft at hand.
The vibrations and noise off the line is nuts, being inside and accelerating!!! Wow

Drag racers know it’s the team that gets it done. The egos are in F1
That's so NOT true. Especially in NHRA
@@countrywoodcreationsnywv5055 I'm talking about my local track guy. I live in a area were people think there better
Unreal and so surreal about how much reaction it takes to control an 11,000hp monster with such calm and action in a blink of an eye
Wow!
She makes it look so easy.
I’m pretty sure I would have lost control just doing the burnout.
👍
She did get off of it early during the burnout as it started to pull to the side
What these cars do to your body is amazing.. when they launch you can literally feel your organs jiggle inside you...the nitro makes your eyes water.. everyone should experience NHRA once in their life
Been doing it since 1987 my friend. It's something you have to experience. Tv will never do it justice.

That was awesome view thank you
Thanks for the ride!
That was so awesome to get a view like that! Thanks
Was there, she was one of the few that made a full pass and it was a beauty !!
She is indeed! 😉
Her reaction time is nuts
Beautiful, bold and badass!! Love this girl!!!
Duuuude! MY heart was racing!! Haha thank you for this view. Finally.
WOW! what a great view. I wish we could have seen the stage lights.
You can?.?
I did
Open your eyes
@@mikerotch4597 I can see the ambers and the green but not the prestage and stage.
what a great view, just wish it was better. lmao not such a great view then?
Wow the best camera angle ever.
That has to be quite the adrenaline rush!!!!
Damn. That was just plain cool
I'd love to have her talk us through what happens at each stage, this is so cool to see but I have no idea what really happens :D
what a ride. cool view.
Big fan !! Thanks
Heck yeah girl! I can only imagine
EPIC footage
Sure was!
Uh hummm...Luke...I'm your Father
Super cool video
Not sure I could do this. Takes some serious trust, skill, and guts.
Awesome!!!
NOW THATS AWESOME 🤙
Love it@!@
Now this is bad ass!!
Sad to see the track has been sold and is about to close for good always been a great place to go
Well done Leah
Wonder if they had to use a high frame rate as it was so fast!!
I love DSR!!
Thanks
Closest I've ever seen to real life teleportation.
Nice video 😊
Everything looks pretty tame until she switches over to nitro, then the beast awakes...
Considerably quieter inside vs outside
It all happens so fast.
Reppin the Thunder Power RC I see, Nice!
Awesome,,
Man that was cool
Wicked view point!
Wow that’s intense
Insane
GEEEZUS! Just once, I wanna do that!
Crazy fast .. thanks Lea
thank Leah Pruett wahoo
That’s one way to get from a to b really, really quickly!.
I had always wanted to drive a funnycar, but that was back in the 70’s. Now…..NFW
When I saw NFW I knew exactly what that meant, I feel the same way.
Do you hold your breath the whole time? I did! That was awesome!
🤣👍
Anyone else catch that she took a look at the score board on her way by?
Was this 4 or 5 sec…..?
Also mph/kph?
Great wrk y’all ✊
🍻
Cool
I'm not a big fan of the sounds of a SC but damn that sounded good.
It would bee fun to know how fast her pulse is going up from start to finish!
Damn it must be alot of adrenaline in a race like that!
Given her experience level, probably pretty relaxed.
@@brianwright9514
Yea def more relaxed than a newbie, but by listening to her breathing the last seconds of the video I'am pretty sure it goes up 😁

To hear her heavy breathing at the end....All your senses must be off the chart!! Thanks to her and the team for that ride along!
That's cool
well that was insane.
Bad ass!
🤘😈🤘
WHOA-That’s all I can muster up.
Had to strap myself too the hammock 5g spin cycle 🤏 almost The same A 🤣
Thunder power batteries FTW!!!!
Wholly hell lady!!!
And Then.....shit started rattlin' !!!

now open 'em

I wish someone would come up with a way to stabilize the video, with a good camera or a good video editor.
Nitromethane: Use only as directed.
Curious as to what he is doing at 1:29. Great video, looks fun.
Probably starting the program on the computers that controls the clutch, timing, telemetry, etc....
@@anthonypoltes7413 That sounds like the most logical thing. Turning on Racepak, doing all that stuff. Been binge watching some channels with behind the scenes stuff, and some teams do the same stuff in their own ways.
Tickling her feet 😂
There is a mechanical blocker on the throttle for the burnout that limits the travel. The hatch is above the driver’s right foot.
The on board computer system is located there. He was turning on the computers that tracks and operates almost everything on the dragster.
Crazy... Too fast for me 😜
Leah can do it !!
What a RUSH!
Amazing. What a rush. Go mopar. Win the chase
Would be nice to see her hands ,to see what how much steering and what they do in shut down
My head tipped back. I'm assuming it was from the acceleration.

Holy shit, blink and you're across the finish line already...
Damn! She is absolutely gorgeous, fast as hell and such a sweet lady. She is the whole package! 🤙🇺🇲
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
So this is what it's like to drive a controlled atomic bomb 😂
Damn sounds like a regular big v8 block engine from inside
Good lord! I’d like to know what that feels like.
I was expecting her engine to explode or her car to break in half or a parachute malfunction or all four wheels to come off or a deer to run out in front of her. This is the first time I've seen her make a quarter mile
This was only 1000 feet.
