Holy fuck that funny car is like the closest thing to a controlled explosion you can drive. Made a 10-second truck look like a snail.

[@AlgorhythmKid]

That's what I was thinking. Looked like a rocket launch!

[@stupidasso77]

It is hard to get a real appreciation for just how fast a funny car really is. That truck is a legit 10 second vehicle and that is fast. In fact that truck is capable of out running all but the quickest street legal exotic cars in the quarter mile. To see the funny car take off like that and pass the truck by the traps is surreal.

[@RTmadnesstoo]

stupidasso77 That is a 1000 foot track not a quarter mile or 1320 feet. 10 seconds in 1000ft is fast but nothing compared to 10 seconds in a quarter mile. :-)

[@partygamer99]

funny cars are so fucking loud aswell makes your heart and the ground shake

[@BigMuddyCountry]

no, that was a quarter mile. FC and TFD run the same passes now practically. 4.50 is a quarter mile time, they do mid to high 3's in the 1000 foot now.

[@TxasterInABath]

Yup the ford raptors are fast

[@vicariousclouds2340]

When most people dont understand what it REALLY takes to even start a Funny Car. Let alone, have any dragstrip let you take one down the line your first try. The amount of licensing and testing that goes on before you are allowed to is nutty. Let alone needing the balls to do so. Im sure Bryce didnt even want to, being he is an experienced driver, knowing the risks of a Funny Car..

[@zak8953]

Wow! This is a really high quality video. Crazy fun. Not even a car guy but I saw this on reddit and it's sincerely and amazing video guys! That drag car is crazy fast, and the suspension on the off-road car is impressive. Two beasts built for different purposes. Also a note to Snap-on: this is advertising DONE RIGHT!

[@ShootFirstMediaLLC]

Thanks for the compliments! and THANKS for watching!

[@jamesdunbar7992]

Same here.. I've watched it over and over.... the launch of that nitro car at the end was so violent more so than I've seen lately.... Just BOOM!!! shit&get

[@sstroh08]

Go watch a top fuel race in person. Its awesome on camera like this, but its a hell of a experience in person. The camera doesn't show you the sensation of the ground shaking and the air vibrating around you. On the close shots of the funnycar launching the shake of the camera is it literally getting buffeted by the shockwave of sound traveling through the air when Cruz dropped the hammer. They set off earthquake sensors every time they go to Ponoma from what I've heard. And to give you an idea of the speed, by the time the tail end of the funny car passed the tree it was moving at a little over 100 mph. They're flat out nuts. Look up the video "Acoustic power of a top fuel dragster" here on youtube to see just a taste of what I'm talking about.

[@stevenlynch8814]

+sstroh08 that is correct I go to pomona every year. fuckin love standing on the black box between lanes... also love the taste of the fuel in the air LOL

[@Tom777CA]

[@davidwhelan4833]

I have to disagree, something that has to be driven on a prepped flat drag track is not that impressive. The trophy truck has to be built to not only go fast but must be built to handle the abuse of off road destruction as well. But to each his own

[@mrrolandlawrence]

poor cruz was carrying burger ballast for the comp dragster so his times were slower.

[@corntruck3711]

lol 🍔

[@ZARCULIA]

My father had a nitro funny car for years . I love the camera angles last 2 min . Better than most ESPN race day shots . You get more perspective of the sheer violence of it leaving the line . Cruz sits and waits, sounding like a huge lion breathing deep and heavy, in a trance , waiting to pounce his prey , and then does .

Okay, this was seriously one of the best videos I've ever seen online. A total mix of my loves, top fuel/strip racing, offroad insanity...what MAN cannot like this video and still have working testicles? I'll tell you one thing. People see 3 second funny cars side by side and never really get a perspective of just how fast those bitches go with a person controlling it. You sure see it here and it's so friggin awesome. I've watched Cruz for twenty years and the old bastard is throwing down .8 reactions... anything less than .4 being a red light for guessing the tree versus reacting to it.(human eye to hand is .4 seconds at it's fastest so if you go faster, you're launching before it's technically possible to see a green to go) God it's gotta be tough as a racer to watch the rabbit go down the track while your greyhound sits, eating a gallon and a half of nitro methane per minute versus its race gobbling of 1 1/2 gallons of fuel PER SECOND. God the "gotta catch him, gotta catch him" feeling must be intense as hell.
