PRE CBS FENDER The body only detached from the rear though, is that what you meant? That is what saved him... He flew her home perfectly with a sunset.. That thing is a fucking monster that's one thing I do know.
fla playa The burst panel opened, allowing air to flow threw the body, which kept the body from fully detaching and possibly hitting Robert Heights car in the other lane.. that would of been ugly.. The Burst panel safety measure.. its actually designed to open during a blower explosion, and a wheel stand..
That is amazing. The car was totally off the ground for about 100 ft. and had about an 800 ft. wheel stand landing at least 100 ft. past the finish line.
I was there. Way down on the fence on the left side. I believe they keep you just shy of the 1/8 mile mark. From where I was standing, I thought the body came off. And then we all turned our heads to watch the big screen replays
Notice how the burst panel blew open, that kept the body from detaching and possibly hitting Roberts car in the opposite lane.. Safety measures at work..
PRE CBS FENDER ummm🤦♂️ I just so happen to work for Cruz on his funny car!!! have you ever seen how we latch the body down in front? We have 2 titanium latches . This is why the front of the body tends to stay attached while the rest of the body shreds. Where the body mounts to the chassis on the rear tree we have a C notched hanger. This allows us to remove the body like we do with 3 guys. When the body detached from the rear of the car but stayed attached to the front of that car it went from being a scoop to a kite.
@@groomlake51 dude i know exactly how the body attaches..again, that burst panel opening allowed just enough air to escape keeping the body attached.. remember opinions are like assholes.. everybody has one.. i sure hope Cruzer gets a win soon, its been too long..when is Cruz going to hire a productive crew chief who'll put him on the podium.. or is he going to continue to drive and tune this year..?
He actually would’ve ran a faster time had the front wheels been on the ground. The timing light was tripped with his back tires instead of his front tires!!!
Its called "Top fuel funny car ..TF/FC".. They run the same exact nitro methane 500cc hemi engine as the Top Fuel dragsters.. Same engine shorter wheel base...
