You’ll never get this out of an EV, the sound, the excitement, the speed. Blistering.

Yep I miss 1/4 mile everything seems to be .1/8 th mile or 1,000 ft. for top fuel

[@TheMoezilla]

All NHRA sportsmen events are run 1/4 mile. NHRA Pro Mod, Pro Stock car and bike, Top Fuel Harley are all run 1/4 mile. NHRA TAD and TAFC are both run 1/4 mile. Where you been looking?

[@ismaelvargas2888]

And funny car sense scott khalltti passed away

[@JimmyDean59]

TheMoezilla NHRA changed the 1/4 to a 10000 ft but still call it the 1/4

[@Mattdugas24]

Go Fast Literally the only two NHRA classes that run 1000ft is Top Fuel and Fuel Funny Car. Everything else is is the full 1320ft.

Joe Real problem most tracks dont give them the space to slow dowm

[@vincerumbough7445]

I remember being at Darlington Dragway in March of 1987 when Bill Kuhlman ran the very first 200mph pass in a door slammer. It was in the Top Sportsman class about 3 or 4 years before Pro Mod became the spin off class. Not only did he break 200, he really killed it with 202.24 It was also Darlington where the first ever 5 second pass was done by door slammer, Mitch Stott, I was there for that too, maybe 100 people at track, was a test day, not an actual sanctioned event. He ran 5.98

Its not weird. Its by far, more interesting to see someone even make a caddy dragster regardless of if it won or not. Most people hear Cadillac and automaticlly think slow as a brick and for many years they would have been right. It wasnt until the the luxury cars needing high performance speed trend established by bmw Mercedes and lexus, but then cadillac was forced to do something to stay competitive. And then there was matrix movie and its white caddy, that cadilac started being concerned with speed and making quick cars. Even now when someone says Cadillac, I am used to the last 3 decades reputation of Cadillac, being slow luxury grocerie getters for people over 65.

I am old enough to remember, when Big Daddy Don Garlits, broke 270 in a T/F Dragster. Much respect to them doing it, without nitro and in a doorslammer

[@neilreid2298]

When I was a part owner of a TA dragster in the 80's, the fastest guys were running 5's. Drag cars are simply incredible these days.

[@crazylarryjr]

@@neilreid2298, No kidding dude, In the 80's when i used to watch the brackets at the local 1/8 mile (Warner Robins Dragway), the fastest guys could only hit a high 4 on a perfect day on a perfect track, now they are hitting high mid 3's without even trying. i remember Don Garlits running 5.10's and approaching 250 MPH. Yeah amazing how far things have come for street cars to hit these kind of numbers

[@MacSmithvox]

Not necessarily no. Again, there's no way you actually drag race if you think that way.

[@jameshuffman8893]

The ⅛ mile is the way to go... That's where the race is... After the ⅛ mile the rest is just holding on... You really got to drive the car in the ⅛ because you got to get it to hit harder then you would in the quarter ¼ mile... You tires are turning faster at the start than in the quarter... But I will say the ¼ mile racing is easier on your car... Your not shocking the car as bad... And you pick it up on the other end...

[@lukeoliver651]

My favourite class of drag racing, blower, nitrous and turbo in one class, well balanced it seams also. pretty sure European top fuel average about 270/300mph passes so this is exceptional

[@jamesaron1967]

Not in Top Fuel or Funny Car, unless I missed it. Generally turbos produce more power.

[@reecetbobby5347]

Unreal race. Love seeing the differences in MPH for the blower cars vs the turbos.

[@hoost3056]

Blower car strong in the 60 foot but loses it on the top end.... that's why they and the nitrous cars are good for 1/8 mile. I was just thinking about when nitro dragsters and funny cars were running this fast.

[@Donald_Turnip]

That's a gen1 turbo. Gen2's are quicker off the line even. They've increased so much now that the blower cars are asking and demanding weight increases. Go look at the front of a promod turbo car now and see all the ten pound plates on the front. It's funny because years ago, Stevie Fast made a joke video about turbos demanding a weight gain for blowers but now blowers can't compete with the new turbos spooling on higher rpm ranges with co2 injection.

[@60viking]

Love the sounds overall.

[@sidefx996]

Electric cars will eventually be this fast and faster before we know it, but they'll never be NEARLY this exciting for a spectator.

[@wildimpo]

Technology has advanced so much to go these speeds, look at the 3.0 liter 2jz 5'55 1/4 mile just unbelievable!

( supercar/hypercars excluded) Trucks also will be four-bangers - with V6 hybrid engines offered. I believe the day will come when top fuel funny cars and dragsters will go the way of the Dodo bird.

WORLD'S FASTEST NITRO DOORSLAMMER ON WORLDS SLOWEST COMPUTER .

[@Donald_Turnip]

What nitro doorslammer? Those were both on racegas. Trust me bro, Nitromethane is so easy to spot. Everyone either has a mask on or is crying, the ground is shaking so bad that shit is falling off railings everywhere. When they bust a burnout, it's with the nitro turned way down or even off for alcohol because they'd eat part of the clutch/engine doing it. That's why a nitro car needs to have the hood lifted after a burnout. They pull a tie and it turns the nitromethane right up. Engine sounds much deeper because it's actually technically running on a cooler fuel which is why they use Nitro in the first place...the fact that it's power to heat ratio is pretty much unmatched in the world. Lastly, NOBODY in the burnout box even attempts the fingers in the ears thing for sound. EVERYONE has full ear..well for different reasons...first they're crying from the nitro, second a nitro burnout is like twice as loud as racegas one third, fingers just don't work for when those bitches unleash. Any long term nitromethane person is smart enough to know you can't go near one without gear to save your eyes and ears. Most power, most cooling but it's insanely violent. Fun fact...EVERY race they burn a full clutch, every plug, bust shit, bend shit and just create so much chaos from making 10,000HP that they have to pull the full engine apart EVERY run...no "Doorslammer" in this world could even pull an engine and replace it in the time an NHRA Nitromethane car takes to pull an engine apart, toss broken or the WELDED clutch plate stack in the garbage and replace the engine back. Anyways, this has been a post from Dr. Obvious.

[@curtispetit986]

And also, the pro mods run on racing gas or alcohol. Troy Coughlin's corvette is turbocharged while the Cadillac in the other lane was supercharged. The only nitro powered pro mod belongs to Scott Palmer.

These aren’t domestic cars. You can’t buy one. These are drag cars. They would smoke any import. This is pro stock drag racing. These cars have a much higher top speed. They are doing it on the 1/4 mile so they can only do 270+ on this track size.

Also this is a record from almost 5 years ago. They trap 280 and run 3 seconds.

K1 I know they are drag cars 🤦🏻‍♂️ guess what though they are still considered domestics also what funny cars runs in the 3s? Cuz these are doorslammers and imports had the fastest pass at Mdir for years also running 5.66 however the car running that caught fire however now the imports that are in the 5 sec range are constantly running 5’s we hit 5.55 trapping 262 my freind leaving most domestics In the dust

[@Rob_Moilanen]

No, it makes perfect sense, a doorslammer encompasses many classes of car, from street stock, to super stock, to top sportsman, to pro stock and finally pro modified (I left out a couple classes, but you get the idea). They all have one trait in common with each other, they all have doors that open and close just like any normal car, even though they are in different class categories. It's the type of car, not the class category in which it runs, that makes it a doorslammer.
