That door slammer is violent !

[@owencaster7115]

If he would've hooked perfectly and went straight, he would've been in the 5.30's easily. Regardless, hands down to the legend

I remember when fuel cars were slower, freaking wicked , very nice work.👍👍🏁🏁

[@frankwelch3594]

That thing is quick!

[@bigthunder2860]

That's a door car reminder I remember when only funny cars went that speed

[@DD-gi6kx]

that cause that is just a funny car...ok maybe pro mod, with doors on it

[@alanjm1234]

Want to see the tyre kicker record now.

[@kennychilders8261]

I actually looked down for a second and then he was gone 🤣

[@orwellknew9112]

I kept watching and had the same experience.That camera angle really showed off how fast that acceleration is.

[@TheoneGodfather]

Damn Ken

Holy Shit, When we raced Top Sportsman & They turned over the fast guys to Pro Mod in IHRA, Door Cars had just broke into 6s & Alcohol FCs were in low 6s..Fast forward less than 3 decades & Door Cars are in 5:40s & Frankie Taylor's been in 5:40s w/a Blown Car for Yrs already..How long before there knocking on The 4sec Zone? Probaby in My Lifetime tho..I have Vanishing Point Blown Pro Mod w/a KB Olds, 14 degree heads, 14:71 Kobelco w/a Big Carbon Hat & 3spd Lenco And Now Im lucky to make Top Sportsman field lol..We're in a World Now where id be better off with Automatic Trans over 3disk clutch because things have got That Good But there also That Expensive! Im just sitting here thinking how Fast Cars have got & How popular Drag Racing had become in last bunch of yrs, Im sure thats what has fueled things to move at this unreal pace forward..To have sevaral cars now in 5:40s means by next yr somehow cars will be in the 20s & by 2025 they'll be knocking on the 4 Zones Door..Just amazing how this has gone, Wish I had the money to play cars but the expense has just gotten out of hand So Ill be watching the fast cars from stands....

Why the random capital letters?

That's me I've been around hot rods most of my life and if I wanted to build a really fast car it would be with a screw blower

Faster than the turbo cars. Does it get a weight break?

Wow!

That is real awsome ☝️

[@rickuyeda4818]

Big deal, it's a Pro Mod! A dragster with a body!

[@phoenix21studios]

Yeah its not so impressive IMO since there are actual street cars that can run 5.9 this thing is a dedicated drag car that happens to have doors.

[@ytsux9259]

That was 5 years ago. They are faster now.

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Thats not a Monaro,, some funny US car.

[@DD-gi6kx]

not a big deal to break the doorslammer world record when the definition of door slammer is beyond ridiculous John force should cut a hole in the side of his funny car and put hinges and a latch....bam door slammer even faster stick some lights on his funny car and....bam fastest street car
