I'm old enough to remember when top fuel was the only classes, where this was even possible. Much respect you you guys

[@CurtisBarros]

and top Alcohol dragster's were running 6.20's ...time's changed that's for sure!!

[@Polarcupcheck]

@@CurtisBarros You guys are on the same page as me. I remember when funny cars ran 5.20 's, and Bob Newberry was the first into the 5's in TAFC. I used to watch 600 plus cubes on nitrous that couldn't break 7.

[@brianspangler3771]

The Corvette carrying the front wheels at the 6:02 mark outside the driver side window is pretty wicked.

[@groomlake51]

Growing up around drag racing. All I ever wanted was to watch the shift light and pull all the cool levers and hoping to have the talent as to pull them also at the correct times. My fathers Funny car had manual shift levers on a 3 speed B&J . A manual lean out lever and a pneumatic retarder. He did it all in under 6 seconds. Now all you do is let go of a button😔

Very impressive performance! I sure miss the days of having to drive the cars though. I've been 6.60 209 in a nitrous pro mod car, but we pulled Lenco levers for gear change and actually pulled a chute lever! No hate, just miss the old days

Automatic transmission?

Yeah it’s automatic but it’s a weird transmission I think pro mods used the kind of transmission in funny cars where it uses like a bunch of clutches instead of traditional gears

[@fsx-legend4602]

Tim builds cars don't drive any more. Let him come show us all how to drive these cars manually at 5.5 secs at 255 mph. Some tracks also have radio transmitters to automatic pull the chutes in these cars just for safety these days if the driver forgets to push the chute button on the driving wheel.

@@fsx-legend4602 you do know Freddie scriba is going just a fast as him with a liberty manual, a clutch, and nitrous right??? Just sayin🤷‍♂️ o and he still pulls his own parachute to.
