Something else to add. I have been watching drag racing at the strips since age 9 or over 54 years. Racing safety has been incredible in the development over the years. Also, fan enjoyment has grown great over the years. The sanctioning bodies, NHRA, IHRA and others have to please fans, racers, TV and other sponsors, and insurers, a tough task indeed. So, I really don't know where all the solutions lie. Just like so many others, I love the sport. I just want to see the sport flourish,stay safe and interesting as well.
@PotatoeJoe699 ай бұрын
@Scott-tv6vcDrag racing has a lot less deaths than other forms of racing... but it is racing at the end of the day. Death is a possible outcome. The drivers know it. The fans know it. It's a risk the drivers are willing to take, so it's really not a good reason to dislike an entire racing series because of possible deaths... the human body isn't designed to survive anything worse than falling over, so yes.. racing is potentially lethal.

Somehow, the first thing I noticed when the engine blew, was the deformation of the tires. The centripetal force starts pulling the tire at the center as it rotates faster, and you can see the affect right before the blow blows if you watch the tires. Physics has always interested me
@dude55man3 жыл бұрын

To be fair, anything above 4 liters these days, is a large capacity engine. Heck, the amount of power they get out of a measly 2L engine in rallying these days is incredible. They are also pushing a LARGE amount of Air into the cylinders at the same time, because you get no burn without oxygen ... thus it would be real difficult to hydrolock. But yeah, they do go trough a lot of fuel in an awful short amount of time ... that's part of why they are so exciting. :)
@Grumpy_old_Boot13 жыл бұрын
@farmerbrown29 naw, most modern engines have direct fuel injection, so the blower only compresses the air, thus there would still be enough compression and fuel in the cylinder to keep the engine running without the blower, but power goes way down.

@Skwisgar232210 жыл бұрын
Nick Edstrom I think what he means is that they don't "burn" air, since it is composed of mostly inert gasses. The fuel burns. and as for the ratio of air to fuel, there is always more air then fuel if it is running. Also, this motor never gets near what would be considered high RPM, if it did the tires would explode and shortly before the motor, you don't run a motor like this anywhere near full throttle without a load. Why it takes so long to shut down is that between the time they all jump back and they older gentleman with the blue hat hits the shutoff some fuel was built up in the intake system that was enough to run the engine without any load.

Actually, you drop the throttle to "zero" then chop the fire. If you cut the fuel first, the engine goes way lean and THEN it backfires. But like you said, hydraulic will ruin your day just as easily. And, also like you said, by the time you're at half track, a blown nitro engine doesn't have spark plugs, it has glow plugs. A little "factoid" I saw long ago. A TF engine will turn less than 600 revs between clutch dump and shut off.
