@matthewlewis9996 2 года назад

1/8 mile reminds me of monster trucks, a lot of wasted HP

@ra5928 2 года назад

Actually its' 1000'. The reason is that the speeds never increased after 1,000 feet, when these cars attained full power. And lots of engines exploded by keeping the "peddle to the mettle", killing too many. Scott Kallita was probably the final straw in 2008. That's when the rules were changed. One of my favorite drivers. The reason I stopped watching NHRA was because of the "playoff" system. Haven't watched since.

@matthewlewis9996 2 года назад

@@ra5928 I actually made a huge mistake that still bothers me. I was at route 66 in Joliet Illinois and wanted to get Doug's autograph and my dumbass called him by his brothers name. This was after Scott died years earlier. I hadn't been to a race in a while, not that it's an excuse, I just had a major brain fart and didn't realize what I did till after I walked away. I can still remember the look on his face

@@matthewlewis9996 - I'm from the "way back" era of Connie Kallita. I remember when he and Shirley Muldowney were a thing. Connie Kallita really created a future for himself & his family with Kallita Air. Over 20 747's active at one time. Sad that Scott was killed. He was next in line to take over the reigns. I still remember that race to this day.

@kevinnathanson6876 2 года назад

That is actually a BRILLIANT body style. Note that it uses the 'natural' DeSoto rear fender wings to create the spill plates that one would normally see only on a funny car, where they create THOUSANDS of pounds of downforce! That body is the closest match yet to an AA/FC; and that downforce will probably make it a LOT safer on the big end.

Haha that’s true Fins work as spill plates and wedge nose provides big downforce

We were collapsing our fuel cell from too much power. I remember one day we bought 3 custom made crankshaft's it was $9000. Ran them once and then we got banned. $9000 down the drain. You can't sell them because no one wants them now lol.

Yeah,see a lot of gripes about it not actually being a DeSoto,to a degree,yeah,but so what. At least it's not another shoebox Chev,or Camaro. It's so good to see something different,a big up to that team now running the ex European Plymouth Superbird - more Mopars ! But,personally I'd rather see a DeSoto looking more like the real thing too,but it's still cool,we have a similar one running down here in New Zealand,and seeing them live,yeah,it gives you a better perspective. Big ups to these teams racing in this video,all the different makes of cars,better racing,and much more enjoyable than those NHRA teams with all their Camaros (just a personal comment folks), a good upload.
