The only thing new I absolutely learned watching this video.. The photographers / videographers have ICE WATER in their veins!!! I can't believe some of them didn't even flinch.. They actually adjusted their lens and honed in on the car crashing right at them..
Got to ask the stupid question....why do they need to "Clear the starting line"? Do they not have their safety equipment staged at the end of the track where most of the wrecks end up stopping? Or does the driver just have to sit there and cook while they trundle down the track to the accident?
So yes, a lot of the heavy equipment such as trucks with hoses, ambulances, and so on are at the end of the track. But often times there are smaller vehicles such as quads, golf carts, pit pikes, or otherwise that can get out there far quicker from the STARTING line so they can assess if they have to. Useful especially if a crash is in the first half of the track. And these small vehicles can still cause serious injury or death for not just someone that steps into the way because they aren't paying attention, but also to the person riding it. For some smaller tracks, perhaps they DO have their gear behind the starting line. So it's more to make sure that there is a clear, open lane so personnel can still make haste to an incident, since at that point it pretty much becomes all hands on deck. I'm of the opinion that there should NEVER be that many people on a starting line ANYWAY. The only people that need to be there, are the actual starting line track crew, the drivers, cars, and a few crew members. There should never be these massive crowds on the line like is so common in outlaw style racing. My track runs its weekly racing program on the policy of "If your car is not ON the line, you have 0 reason to be there."
No such thing as a Stupid Question when it's something like this one it's just a way to expand your knowledge on things you didn't know or understand before. Better then being to scared to ask thinking that way and not learning what you did by taking the time to ask like you did. N to clear up the first sentence yes there are stupid questions lol this just isn't one by any means. 😊
Anyone here know when I can watch the non nhra drag races? I been paying attention to these other drag racing divisions lately and they look pretty god damn cool to me, im dying to check out more
@@mccannmotorsports3858 FloRacing has the PDRA races, and a good number of other major events like TX2K, Lights Out, World Cup Finals, and so on. I know my track streams our races on yt, though I don’t know other tracks that do the same.
SAFER barriers that NASCAR tracks utilize are more to help with head-on impacts, which don't happen too often in drag racing. Because they're designed to give and bounce a car back out too, they also risk causing more damage by ricocheting the car back across the track, potentially taking out the other and making the situation even worse. It's also a cost problem. SAFER barriers are real expensive, and some estimates put it at over $1,000,000 for a track to install them along the whole track. While some of the big tracks could maybe afford it like ZMAX that are already owned by NASCAR, that is a huge purchase that most smaller tracks likely can't justify. (For reference, my track spent about 300k grinding down the track surface to rework it so it could be more driveable, therefor safe)
It’s both a safety thing, and a cost thing. Many tracks can’t afford it since it could be upwards of 1 mil to install them down an entire track. Also, they wouldn’t really help all that much. Safer Barrie’s are designed for 90 degree impacts, which seldom happen in drag racing.
@@clydezeller6662 The tracks are (supposed to be) well lit at night negating the use of headlights, and they can't race in the rain so no use for windshield wipers.
Some streaming services are very hesitant to show crashes because if something IS wrong, they don't want viewers to be distressed by potentially seeing serious injuries or death.

Traction is such a fleeting, iffy thing.
John Force was looking so good on his comeback until it got short lived again.
I dont feel bad for him. I've met him 2 times he was a jerk both times
Dude I don't know what you think U are but I met John 50 yrs ago and again 5 yrs ago and he was nice to me both times

Damn. There’s a human person inside those things. Imagine showing this to someone in the year 347
Soooo YYYYY Are There So many on Starting Line ?/ Great Vid
@@peterlee6745 I genuinely could not tell you, the safety worker part of me keeps twitching whenever I see it
Lot's of those crashes from MIR in southern Maryland. Favorite non NHRA track and only 45 minutes away

Respect for the tracks safety crews.
Mustangs doing what Mustangs do!
moly-tube frames and fiberglass body work and large displacement engines does not equal Ford anything!!
Does anyone know why the NHRA doesn't adopt the "Safer barriers" that NASCAR went to many years ago?

Because they're designed to give and bounce a car back out too, they also risk causing more damage by ricocheting the car back across the track, potentially taking out the other and making the situation even worse.

The fact that the anoincer has to say clear the staring line is ridiculous NO ONE but the crew SHOULD BE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!
@@iknowyourebrokeauto468 Damn right!
That grey VW though
I just LOVE Drag Racing !!!!!
0:40 “oh no his car blew” Force-“but did I win? Grab the other car off the truck!”
Hey who didn't think John was in the highlights
2025?
PLEASE CLEAR THE STARTING LINE
Man that lil Honda Civic had that Ford Mustang.
Moral of the story? A broken axle will cost you a race car. And a lot of pain. 🤕🤕🤕
And to always please clear the starting line.
Nope
It'll buff out.
health insurance you drive what how fast
this is as crazy as ski jumping
Very very good
Nice
Something I'm noticing,nobody in a full firesuit on safety crews!?..
From everything I've seen and read, World Cup was a real shitshow this year
@@roadhog29389 Having watched it from start to finish, I can confirm
Was the guy in 8:20 ok?
I’ve heard yes.
They don’t use safer barriers like nascar uses which is really scary to see a car crash on the wall like that

They should have headlights
And windshield wipers
@@clydezeller6662 The tracks are (supposed to be) well lit at night negating the use of headlights, and they can't race in the rain so no use for windshield wipers.
OK...well clear the starting line
No prob, that'll just buff out
when you drag race all bets are off
the guy in the background "give me another camera incase" dude, people want to watch and see if the driver is okay...

@@NolanRempel makes sense.
these crashes are horrible but these dragsters are well built for crashes
Hey mate, you can't park there.

"Crash" compilation???
Yes
can drag racers get life insurance
Can they? Yes, do they? Most likely, do these cars cost 100x as much as any life insurance out there? Also yes 😂
Yes. But it’s extremely expensive.
Baby lift
huh?
😂😂
I see lots of drivers in cars WAY too fast for them to be driving....
