It definitely has a unique sound being a small block Chevy! It’s very quick to the 1/8th but doesn’t mph like the Hemi cars. Have watched the car many times at Famoso in Bakersfield.
They’ve always looked cool. But considering Don Garlits ended up designing his first rear engine dragster in the hospital after losing half of his foot, the idea of resting my nuts on top of the differential of 7000 hp slingshot dragster, with my feet sitting on either side of the clutch and bell housing isn’t my idea of fun. I’ll watch them all day, but you’d never get me in the cockpit.😅
These nostalgia Top Fuelers are way cooler than the nostalgia funny cars.... I don't get why the dragster spec fuel pump is 20 gallons vs the funny car pump at 21 gallons ? One gallon difference?!! Seems silly. Some typical stupid nhra thinking.They should both be 21 gallons.
@@ScottCole-sb8fy- And the FC’s run a much bigger tire and can run two speeds. The TF cars have to rev too high due to the short tire and gear limitation. Makes it really hard on parts and results in a lot of race delays due to oil downs.
