I remember seeing the then amazing 300 mph mark set at Bandimere (at a then 1/4 mile track) at a mile elevation 30+ years ago. What these cars do today on a 1000' track is insane!
Wasn’t it Eddie Hill that first went 300 mph (or am I thinking sub-5 sec run) first? They used to all run bicycle front tires and I remember Hill was one of the only ones running the small front tires. Long times ago. Late 80s?
Everyone has something to say Leave everything the same we Lost Scott and I was watching the race. Enjoy what we have who ever thought we would have Speeds we have today. Someone said about Money. John has had his wrecks spent a lot of money he wasn’t born with a Golden Spoon he has worked his way to where he is. Can you imagine how many nights that he can’t SLEEP. You watch the race and turn your broadcast off and go about your business. The Force team has work even when there not racing. God Bless to all that has Contributed to the sport we all LOVE
... she then went 334 at Bandimere in July... at elevation! Track record that can never be broken now. 😢 I was standing at the tree when she did that and it just felt fast then the numbers came up!
NHRA should bring back the real quarter mile 1320ft, That is what we started racing why they have to change things is baffling put it back to the real quarter mile and then let’s race.
There were 438 entries at Pomona. Of those, 406 run to the quarter mile or 93%. The only ones that don't are the two nitro categories. Two main reasons they can't are the short shut down area - TF cars are going 100mph faster than when the track was built. The other is that the engines are hitting the rev limiter around 990’ …..if they go 50’ further under power they blow up! The only possible way to make them last to a quarter mile is to take the blower off……..and you already have that with the injected nitro cars in the TA class…..
@@waynebeasley8700 100% agree. If people would go out and support local tracks I bet they would find 1/8 mile tracks are way more common. I enjoy and love drag racing at any distance.
Why is no one talking about the first 340 mph pass? I recall the hysteria over the first 200 ( Yes I am old enough to remember that!), then 250, then 300 mph milestones, but not a peep about 340 mph in 2023.
This is excellent! That girl is as cool as a cucumber! Amazing to think the internal combustion engine powering her car is baised on a design consieved by Chrysler Corporation 58 years ago! I guess that's why the corporate mantra at the time was "Excellence in Engineering Chrysler Corporation "!
If your referring to the "Hemi", Chrysler was not the first to use this design. Lots of companies used it in different ICE's . Even the famous Ardun Hemi head for Ford flat heads was conceived by Zora Duntov around 1947, long before Chrysler. BTW Mr. Duntov was consider the father of Corvettes.
Yes Lori you are correct. However Chrysler Corporation was the only company to develop and produce a engine with hemispherical combustion chambers that was widely used in production automobiles. The Audern/ Duntov heads to which you refer were very limited aftermarket designs. The 426 HEMI on which Brittany Force's engine is loosely based, simply illustrates the robustness of the original engine design. This is not suprising, as this engine was designed purely as a racing engine to dominate NASCAR. In drag racing the 426 was not initially successful. Most racers were using the 51 to 58 Chrysler Firepower engines. Eventually they discovered that the 426 engine required completely different tuning to live up to it's potential.
@@392hemi9 I always like the early 331 and 354 Chrysler Hemis, had a 331 in my Bantam Roadster. Was a Factory "300" engine with dual Carter 4 barrels, Dual points and factory adjustable rocker arms. Pretty respectful for 300 Horse engine. Had the later 727 trans installed via a adapter. Nice combo.
Another piece of technical trivia, the 51 to 58 engines were the only true HEMIS. If you look at a cutaway of the cylinder head the valves are set at a 45 degree angle to the cylinder bore centerline. This of course results in a very wide/heavy cylinder head. So in an effort to narrow the engine somewhat to better fit in engine compartments of the 1960's automobiles, the 426 engine had it's exhaust valves pulled in 15 degrees in toward bore centerline to narrow the overall width of the engine. Thus the second, and third generation of HEMI engines are technically not true hemihead V8's. Luckily Chrysler Corporation had brains enough to copyright the HEMI designation.
By the time I finish spelling Brittany Force name on this channel she already went down the track got out off her car and finished her interview into the Tahoe heading back to the pits 💯😎🙌🏽🥰💐❣️
Check out her 1/8th mile numbers. No one ever pays attention to what these cars run in just 660 feet. She accelerated from zero to just a tick under 298 mph in 2.92 seconds!! Then from 298 mph to almost 339 mph in .72 seconds.
That's a combination of her fast reflexes, her driving skill, and a fabulous crew that built her the fastest car to drive, a team effort all the way. Cheer to all. I wonder what her top speed would have been had they still run a full 1/4 mile?
@@747heavyboeing3 nothing you say makes any sense or has any relevance! Doug has never won a championship and never will! Grubnic drove for Kallita, but never crew chiefed for him. 747’s ain’t got shit to do with drag racing, who cares....
The time. The elapsed time. Has more meaning. That's the STAT everyone wants to know. In case you've never followed drag racing for one day in your life. The elapsed time not the terminal speed at the end
If top speed records weren't important, why do the crowds, announcers, media, go nuts when they are broken? LOL! P.S. Considering we both know what a holeshot is, you may want to ease back on your ET enthusiasm...
Her crew chief is the one mainly responsible for Brittany's incredible performances, both speed and ET. But Brittany knows how to use his expertise in her driving skills. No one tunes a Top Fuel engine like Aussie Dave! He must be getting something close to 13,000hp out of Brittany's 500 cubic in engine. She hit 297 mph in the 1/8th mile in just 2.92 seconds.
That’s funny they used to do it before only tell a few crashes that cause concern been to the races ever since I was eight years old and it was always a quarter-mile.
I watched a interview with Goodyear at PRI and they said the current tires are good for 340+. I didn’t realize they looked at each and every tire after a run to collect data. 2023 we will see the first 300 to the 1/8 and a 340 pass I believe.
The engine in a modern top fuel dragster is made of solid billet aluminum (engine block and cylinder heads) and the oil pan is made of titanium. It is based on a Chrysler Hemi block of about 500 cubic inches.

Still a way to go for the outright top speed/ET. Unlikely to be beaten either as that was set at 1/4 mile. 3.58s so vanishing point would have been some 350ft further down the road had they been side by side here. 😳
It's a team effort. NOT just her. Ya'll keep forgetting that. Clutch management, fuel mix and how much, blower rpm, tire pressure. All she does is step on the pedal and steer, nothing else. Unless she is turning a wrench, she's just a pretty face.
Ever drag raced a top fuel drag car? No? It takes a lot of skill to keep 30+ foot rail going straight for 1,000 ft and reaching nearly 340MPH while being subjected to 5-6G's. Tell me you don't know jack without telling me you don't know jack...
At Holloman John Paul Stapp made history aboard the Sonic Wind I rocket sled on December 10, 1954, when he set a land speed record of 632 mph in five seconds, subjecting him to 20 Gs of force during acceleration.

Very little as the engines only run about a minute and a half. Methane turns into CO2 and H2O post burning. Methane also produces less CO2 for the amount of heat it outputs compared to other hydrocarbon fuels. NASCAR is more polluting per race than Top Fuel drag racing.
You mean God bless the engine tuners and mechanics. All she did was stand on the gas and remember to pull the Parachute. As silly as this new drag racing is with basically everyone running the same engines. Bow to the tuners and mechanics because they make it all happen.
Mmm, it takes a lot more effort than that. Keeping chassis barreling down the track at over 300MPH takes skill. Don't diminish what she does to feel better about yourself. Drag racing is a team effort that even the driver can mess up. The fascinating part is everyone working as a team to make it happen, each playing their part.

Man you gotta love that keep up the great work from Australia.
338.94 almost 339 flat in 1000' not 1320' now that's what is incredible, go fast or go home!
Because of the dangerous increase in terminal speeds they shortened the track after a well known racer was killed.
@VallientRanger..Kinda ironic, considering they are going faster in the 1000 ft era.
1/4 mile speed record was 337, if I remember correctly...

It is great when a run like this has a good opponent in the other lane. Both runs were great. Very close!

How many gallons of gas did this take? (Not an envoronmental question, I'm just curious)
About 10-15 gallons depends on idle time. Top Fuel Dragster fuel pumps can meter out more than 65 gallons per minute.
