Sonoma Raceway 2024 - Jr Fuel Q1

[@hankschrader149]

We had a local old school Jr fuel racer who I had the pleasure of being with at his last Nitro Revival in 2021. RIP Jerry King

That is an E ticket ride! Great driving especially at the end of the run. Always have loved FED's especially the JR fuel. cars.

[@mgbchuck6527]

beautiful sounds!

[@danmyers9372]

Loved watching and especially hearing these cars at Famoso. Nothing in the world like at small block singing at high RPM’s. What does your car typically rev to? Has to be well above 9000 I’m guessing.

[@alcoholicracing7007]

Typically this car will hit 10,500 at finish line With our Jr Fuel A motor. But with this motor in it now running nitro we only run it to about 8800 - 9000 rpm at the finish line.

@@alcoholicracing7007 thank you...what a ride that must be, far beyond anything I experienced in my lifetime (I'm a senior now).

[@kimifan06]

what happened there at the end? that was really sketchy, pushed way to far past the line and blew past the cooldown zone.

[@alcoholicracing7007]

Oil started coming out from under the injection manifold at about 1000 feet and got on his helmet visor

[@alcoholicracing7007]

@@hybrdthry You’re welcome, we normally run at Bakersfield, Redding, and Sonoma, definitely a class you need to check out in person. The sounds of these cars are unique they sound completely different in person than they do on camera.
