There was a time in my life where I thought drag racing was just caveman go fast, but then you look into what nitro drag racing involves and you realize how batshit crazy it all is
metric, use the metric system!!! feet , farenheit, yards ,galons, pounds, mini-vans, football fields, elephants, baby elephants, stones, miles. might as well change seconds and hours and minutes to something more imperial system practicality, like "i'll be there in about one and a half haircuts" or "i'm 3 cats old" or "can you turn that thing down? it sounds like its 170 claps loud"
I know the exhaust produces some thrust but even with high performance engines I wouldn’t expect it to produce enough to make a single pound of thrust 😅
Just an FYI for folks who haven't lived through hell: unknowingly running a fixed suspension/fixed gearbox tire (sponsored) on a 4 link/2 speed TH400 car is a great way to waste almost two years of your life and lose all your passion for ultra high hp doorslammers.
Bro Yall all Copy other ppls ideas all day long I wouldn’t have known any of this if he didn’t re explain it so what Yall act like some Libs yall a lil left im glad he made the video and i hope he makes alota doe off it
My dad used to drive sprint cars when I was growing up. He had two right rear tires off the car in our living room with pieces of glass cut into a circle laying flat on top. We had right rear sprint car tire end tables buddy! And I thought everybody just had tires in their living room till I was about 20 yrs old! It was just normal to me! 🤷🏽♂️... 🙃🫠
"You can only do so much with rubber." I've had a thought tumbling around my head for a while, and as cars get faster and faster, it keeps coming up in random thoughts I have: What other way would I try to design a tire? I'm talking a tire that isn't rubber, air, metal. While I'm sure tire manufacturers have looked into this idea in their R&D departments, they, ultimately, can't pour the time and money it would take to experiment because they...well, sell tires. They are publicly traded companies and are required, often by law, to produce profits.
tires can be internally inflated.... so why cant they be internally cooled? ive got some ideas that will change the auto speed game forever. such as nano tires. that use trillions of nano sized fingers that grip 1000% better than current tire technologies. kinda like how a gecko can stick to glass without effort. combine that with morphable surfaces to give cars active aerodynamics. after that, give ai a few times around the track and it will have found out how to beat human drivers. due to our internal g threshold
Do research and stop reading the internet to get your content. The tires already have a nominal diameter of 36 inches and will grow closer to 41-42 inches at speed.
Almost every modern piston if you check it is oval by a few thou to a tenth. I’m sure they were more oval than modern engine pistons due to the environment they are ran under but that statement isn’t a whole truth
First video of yours I have watched and I’m incredibly impressed. You are logical and concise in your delivery and opened my eyes to things I’ve never thought about like the expansion of the tire acting as a gear. Obvious when you think about it but something I may have never thought about without watching your video.
