Don't ya just love it when the Track has an LED sign that shows E.T.'s and MPH! Las Vegas: One of the Greatest! 5.52 & 267 mph! There might have been some Nitro in the can?!
Over here in the UK the first 5 second pass by a top fuel was in 1977. I was 12 years old. Never thought back then I would watch a " door" car not on nitro beat it by a solid .5 second. Or watch a road legal car do drag week and set quicker, faster times 😲
@@robertsouza8789 yeah it's a "promod" but there isn't one at this race, that could drive a thousand miles, and make a five second pass..........jussayn.
Top Fuel and Funny Car will always be the big crowd draw as far as the NHRA is concerned. Big money, loudest engines, biggest blow ups, especially the blow ups. That what get TV ratings and brings crowd attendance. I agree that Pro Mod doesn’t get the credit it deserves, and will always be over shadowed by Pro Stock because those cars more resemble the street car version and thats what the manufactures want promoted and the NHRA is more then willing to comply.
I agree, but it's a '60 Impala. The '59 had "cat's eyes" tail lights and longer fins. I owned one. I couldn't tell if the Camaro "red lit" or not. Still, the Impala should have made a pass just "for the data".
Ok, I don’t get it! The. SS CAMARO, going up against the Lenko, red lights for absolutely no apparent reason while trying to stage. And that’s another thing. If he went through staging, we’ll the lights weren’t showing that. Can someone please explain this to me?
with the apt impala, it looked like the second staging light never went on as he kept going in.... he went red,anybody tell me is flickering the new deal and for what? distracting?
@@rattkiller01 Are you are referring to the flickering due to the camera, or the drivers actually trying to make/ or the car rocking and the lights blip on on off? I ask because I noticed in the vid there's alot of flickering due to the camera. It doesn't actually flicker like that in person. You can see this when recording a tv etc. Obviously it doesn't do that in real life, just a camera anomaly. Btw I seen these type of lights (the blue half/whole circle unlike normal yellow staging lights) on another vid at the 4 wide I believe it was, it was recorded with a I guess more of a professional type camera and there wasn't any flicker. Hence I said it was a camera anomaly. 👍

Hey Jim, it takes between 2000 and 2500 HP (many do more). And between $75000 and $15000 on the engine. But to be competitive it will be much more. Your mileage may vary. I hope this helps you. D All Glory to The GOD!
My hero bro!!! There will always be a douche Tesla or EV owner out there defending it. They always say, “wait till the batteries get better , or they say they have air conditioning and can drive it on the street like any one gives a f*** about that 😂” blah blah blah, you’ll never get a motor big enough and if you do, it will just out weigh the damn car and not even be worth trying at that point. Long live the gas engine!!!

This is a small event, it’s not like the gator nationals or 4 wides. Those pull in over 100,000 people at a time, was just there this past March, couldn’t even walk with out bumping into some one. It all depends on what the race is, and who’s racing.

@@wappiercer7306 so you know a lot of these cars do hot rod week right? 5 tracks in 7 days and over 1000+ miles driven. Some of the ProMods run it as well and still run 6 second 1/4 times. So like I said, it’s apparent what is known and not known. Thanks for watching tho!

Fantastic looking cars. Always good to see bodies styled after the late 60's and 70's iron. Great stuff.
Every since as a kid Pro Mod has been my favorite, Blower, Turbo, and Nitrous. I like Turbo in the quarter and Nitrous in the 8th.
TURBO all the way.
you gonna learn how to work on cars?
I’ll always have a thing for blower motors. There’s something about the silence of the night getting broken when a blower car starts up. 3:09
these ain't cars bozos
@@wappiercer7306 Then what are they?
Crazy fast
Great coverage
These hot rods are like funny cars of old with 2 doors

272mph at a tenth+ slow time than the first guys 5.52 @267. Some of these boys were *Rolling Out Hard!* 😯
cool to see all the different brands of slicks .
12:11 YES!!! ALL OF THE YES!!!
Thanks loved the coverage.

Nice to see them run a quarter mile, and not that 8th mile crap. 👍
Doesn’t happen often anymore. But when it does it’s amazing!

A field of pro mods like that and no fans Vegas doesn't deserve it
We feel the same.
Thanks for the great footage of all the beautiful promods

Pro mod all the way. Should replace top fuel.
Facts!
I think the future of drag racing is Pro Mod. Fuel cars are just too expensive to run.
Top Fuel and Funny Car will always be the big crowd draw as far as the NHRA is concerned. Big money, loudest engines, biggest blow ups, especially the blow ups. That what get TV ratings and brings crowd attendance.
I agree that Pro Mod doesn’t get the credit it deserves, and will always be over shadowed by Pro Stock because those cars more resemble the street car version and thats what the manufactures want promoted and the NHRA is more then willing to comply.
Something that EV cars will never have. The sound of pure American Muscle!
Love the 59 Impala. Someone is thinking outside of the box...

im so sad i cant travel down into the us...my poor promod has been sitting in the garage ever since the border closed and i cant go racing it sucks
Damn those are some amazing looking cars
It looks like the beginning days of funny car.
Great work
Very good!
Very fast cars! Are these guys running small blocks, big blocks, or both?
0:28 is that bodie in his Chevy 2? Runnin against promods?
Yup. Was just making shakedown passes. Lifting early too.
Is that the crowmod painted black?
I'm a total rookie to drag racing. If you don't mind, why do some cars get a red light instead of green?
That's when they leave too early to get a red light. It's an automatic loss. That's what makes it so entertaining
@@josephmac2386 Ah....so sometimes they just run it anyway. Gotcha.
very cool...Butler the Pontiac guy was there.
Pro mod has basically taken the place of top alcohol funny car.
When was this race in Vegas???? I want to go!! Anyone have info??
What's with the plates...scsn 14 on most of the cars, what does it mean.
The event is called “Street Car Super Nationals” it was the 14th event. This SCSN14. 👍🏽
Insane!
It looks like they get a second xtra BY racing downhill
Not downhill, the end of the track is actually uphill
Nice video bro.👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
the corvette at the start was pretty cool looking.
Blissful sounds

What are they spraying into the injector hats?
Cold start
Cold start/deicing agent. Can have ice build up on the blower hat causing the blades to stick.
Why do these Funny cars have a second smaller exhaust pipe? I see most all of them have one? Is that the turbo waste gate?
only the turbo cars,yes...
Ok, figured out the staging, but still do not see how the SS camaro red lighted.
tell me about the flickering staging lights
@@rattkiller01
I believe it’s the type of led they are that makes them appear to flash on camera but in person you don’t see it.
He took to long to stage and timed out, they have like 7 seconds to stage after your oppent is staged
Muder nova were is the bel air 55
Sweet,,
You ever gonna have any new content or just stuff from years ago?
The crazy thing is that imports are doing 5 seconds run too
I wish there was more. Currently the list is 15 or less world wide last time we checked.
not many though.....
Import or domestic, I don’t care as long as it’s not electric at this point 😂
Only a car fired from a railgun platform might do one second in the 1/4 mile. But car might disintegrate.
The butler performance car just made Big Chief puke with how poorly its tuned.
Definitely time to update the program
What do the blower cars idle at?
Probly around 2200
How much hp to go 5 sec?
Enough
At least 50
......and a cold air intake.
…..and a K&N Air Filter sticker.
Hey Jim, it takes between 2000 and 2500 HP (many do more). And between $75000 and $15000 on the engine. But to be competitive it will be much more.
Your mileage may vary.
I hope this helps you. D
All Glory to The GOD!
Got a question why are most of the cars built like that
Aerodynamics usually plays a part in body design. So everyone wants the same body style to be competitive I guess.
Was a dodge pulling the chevy
I/8 mile is crap ,do the full 1/4 that’s what Dragracing is all about ,45 years at Santa Pod in the Uk 🇬🇧

Not likely. Blower cars create a ton of downforce with their zoomies without having to add dead weight to the chassis.
this is a 80ties top fuel dragster time and speed !
86
Not enough spectators to pay for the track electric bill! Drag racing is dying out - Tractor PULLS pull in the crowds, not this.
