Two rounds remain in the 2018-19 400 Thunder Top Fuel Championship and four drivers remain in the closet championship battle the category has seen in many years. The might of Rapisarda Autospoort International and its drivers, Wayne Newby and Ashley Sanford, continue to challenge defending Australian champion, Kelly Bettes of Lamattina Top Fuel Racing. Throw into the mix Phil Read of Jim Read Racing and it’s set to be a real title fight as the 52nd Winternationals draws closer.

I personally think Sydney Dragway features the most spectacular drag races worldwide, followed closely by Santa Pod. The top speeds achieved all speak of the 'cream of the crop' racers a.w..a. the quality of the race track! My top favs are Ashley and Kelly!

I want a money back guarantee before I lay out good money to go again.

@DodgyBrothersEngineering 5 лет назад

@@Ash_Dean should be, but I doubt it. Winternationals is one of the biggest events in Australian drag racing, so you would hope they would be there, but then again when the promoters say they are going to be there and they're not, well that shouldn't happen either. I wouldn't have gone if I knew they weren't going to show up, I went specifically to see them. That is why I am pissed about the no show.

Do you guys still run the full 1/4mi in Nitro classes? Sadly, NHRA doesn't, mainly because of one track that no longer has racing there, Englishtown, NJ, that had at least one death because of the small shutdown area.

The timing doesn't start when the light turns green, it starts when the driver leaves the line. Leaving quicker than your opponent can result in a so-called "hole shot" victory, even though they had a faster car.

@Oromanowarful 3 года назад

The elapsed time just measures how quick the car goes down the track, if both cars run identical et and speed, the quicker reaction time wins the race which is how the drivers earn their paycheck and championship potentially.

@colinkensley 5 лет назад

Just as a matter of interest how much skill does one need to be a top fuel driver...would it be fair to say the other classes are more difficult where one must use a clutch and change gears...as i understand top fuel is a single gear and the clutch does all the trickery...does the driver just floor the throttle at the lights and the clutch does not let the wheels spin...or are the drivers using less throttle off the line and increasing throttle as they go down the line.

@geoffreyveale7715 5 лет назад

I do not drive one of these cars but have watched many events. In part you are right, if everything goes perfect there would be minimal skill other than reaction time. The big exception is when things don't go perfect and the driver needs to pedal the throttle and keep it straight. There is also the chance of stuff going VERY bad which is why they now race 1000ft and not 1/4 mile after Scott Kalitta being killed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Kalitta

@cn1364-w6c 5 лет назад

It's all about trade-offs. I'd prefer them going the full 1/4mile but making every nhra drag strip they run on up to spec on safety equipment costs money. Money that somebody will have to pay but not all are willing to pay. If you don't want to shorten the length and you can't force every track to up safety measures, then you have to make the dragster slower which nobody is willing to do. Cheapest option is to shorten the racing length.

@cn1364-w6c 5 лет назад

You'd have to hope that "enough" teams will support every nhra sanctioned drag strip unless you're fine with limiting the number of areas where dragsters can compete and race at.

@MypasswordisNewMedic 5 лет назад

There’s more skill involved than what you’re putting out there. If it’s right in the groove and everything is perfect, what you said applies. But if it’s get out of the groove, smokes the tires like you said, and probably other shit I’m not thinking of at the moment, the driver has to accommodate to those things as they happen in under 4 second. That’s skill

These cars are using the same parts as the US cars but you can only apply as much power as a surface will allow. Drag strips in Australia are getting better but they still aren't as good as in the US.
