Problem with the trans but what in the world is in that chevelle at 9:10?

[@davelowets]

Sounds to me like he let off it because he wasn't sure if the Camaro was going to come into his lane. When he got back on it, he was still in first, and as soon as he pulled second he realized he was going to win and let out completely. In other words, he pedaled it a few times and then let out before the stripe because he had already won. I doubt it was a trans failure.

[@JesusMartinez-nx3nc]

That's crazy . But why do they loose control of the car like That? Is it bad tires? Too much power ? Both?

[@vr6swp]

Yes. It's tough to stick upwards of 800hp, even in a car set up for drag racing, on a prepped track. Any little amount of moisture, oil, or even dirt on the racing surface will cause slicks to lose grip and make the car dart to one side or the other. Drag racing tires run at really low pressure (like 8-10psi) and have almost zero sidewall, so when the car starts swapping around sometimes all the driver can do is hang on and try to keep it off the guardrail

[@waynethomas1726]

The first one, the mustang having to lift to keep from wearing "another bumper" off reminded me of my Omni bodied car at Milan dragway one day. It came up and just wasn't going to come back down on it's own until the bumper was worn half way up the quarter so I lifted a little, it finally set back down after the 60'. I have no clue what it ran, I nearly shit my pants, immediately went back to the trailer, loaded up and left and had a set of bars on it for the next week. I supposed if I raced in a class that didn't allow them I'd figure a way to deal with it but setting it up to bump and put the front end right back down makes the car so much more consistent and let's face it, us poor guys are bracket racing. Consistency is everything.

[@craig3.0]

I wonder how much horsepower it costs to wheelie all the way up like that. As in, how much less horsepower are you using to accelerate because you're putting that energy into raising the front of the car up? I'm bored, and I want to finally put my engineering degree to use, so let's figure it out. Horsepower is work divided by time, so to calculate that, you need the weight of the front of the car, the height it's being raised to, and the total amount of time it takes to raise the front all the way up. I'm going to approximate those values to be 1000 kg, 4 meters, and 1 second, respectively, so this is not going to be an exact result, though it will probably be within an order of magnitude of the real value for a drag car that's in the same class as the ones in this video (as in, it's a front engined production car that's been modified, not some crazy carbon fiber contraption). I'm also not taking into account the energy it takes to accelerate the front of the car upwards, just the work it takes to lift it there. So, force = N = g * mass = 9.81 m/s^2 * 1000 kg = 9810 N; work = J = force * distance = 9810 N * 4 m = 39240 J Power = W = work / time = 39240 J / 1 s = 39240 W Horsepower = W / 745.7 W/hp = 39240 W / 745.7 W/hp = 52.6 hp So,. there it is. You waste around 50 horsepower by pulling a wheelie instead of keeping all four wheels on the ground. Of course, increased air resistance and the fact that you have zero control over the car and don't even know if you're heading toward a wall are much more significant reasons for why wheelie-ing will hurt your time, but I think this one's cool because it's more subtle.

[@DareDevilPhil]

While you may spend power lifting the front, once that's happened I'm sure the increased traction due to the weight shift will at least make up for it. Somewhat of a guess though.

[@peterdarr383]

I can"t argue your math, but torque and gear ratio are more important during the launch, so is a factor of the rear-end set-up known as the "instant center" which is adjustable to KEEP from wheely-ing. So straight "engineering" math just won't work.

[@craig3.0]

@@peterdarr383 Well, agreed, I mean none of that math has any predictive power to tell when or if the car will wheelie. That's also not really the spirit of why I did the calculation. I mean, if you took a 50-ish horsepower car with perfect traction and set it off, no one would expect it to just stay in the same place and wheelie, just as you wouldn't expect a 10,000-ish horsepower car with no wheelie bar to stay level the whole time it accelerates, even though both have enough power to move the front of the car up in a second. I was more just wondering how much straight engine power you use to put the front of the car in the air instead of accelerating forward.

[@peterdarr383]

@@craig3.0 But you would need to know the coefficient of friction for the tires, and the center of gravity related to the contact patch. FIRST - imagine the "moment of wheelie" for a tractor and chain pulling a stump. That does not have a moving vehicle in the equation. So, what makes a car wheelie?? The force of the contact patch drawn thru the center of gravity. You have to calculate a force that exceeds gravity for the whole vehicle relative to the center of gravity, where the vehicles mass causes it to wheelie. You are thinking of power, where you need to think of balance... ... After re-reading your comment, the LOSS would be to roll a wheelie well beyond a certain tipping point, and the car would be SLOWER than having a smaller wheelie. All the energy of a wheelie would return to accelerating the car in a small wheelie. A ridiculously large wheelie would waste energy in drag, wasted traction, and of course an impact and letting off.

[@davelowets]

None gets "wasted". If my car does a nice even wheelie, sets it down gently, and I don't have to pedal it or pull second gear early to control it, the car can easily run the exact same E.T. if it does a wheelie or not. If it "wasted 50 h.p.", that would DEFINITELY show up as a reduction in E.T. in the time slip. If the car wheelies, the ONLY reduction I will see in the time slip is in the 60' time, because I'm tripping the clock beam with my back tires instead of the front tires. As a matter of fact, my personal best E.T. and MPH pass so far has been WITH a wheelie. So, I don't agree that any power has been "wasted".
