Pull Pope XI

Just the opposite...They start white, THEN turn black.

Underrated

Haha

Seriously ! Wtf id be mad.

Coming from the pipes. Nothing to do but let it burn out. She did the right thing by looking at the manifold area

@@saxxon7273 You're right of course but it did look like she was working on her ex husbands truck.

Often, not always, fire is out in a few seconds. Firefighting foam is pretty destructive and may be overkill in a lot of cases. Better assess quickly what poses true danger, put that out as the lady did. I'm sure, at least I hope, she's well trained on dealing with mechanical and engine fires with quite a variety of engines on steroids.

Like most dragsters, for safety, there's only enough gas to do the run...probably less than a quart.

Yeah whiplash 🤣

😂

That’s called a “concussion”. His head bounced around those rails like a pinball machine. He hit all four of them!

Small block? Try Hemi.

Rubber necking? Hell no…. That guy was 𝒋𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐 necking.

The little guy ran away 😂😂😂💀

@@davidrobbons2420 60,000 rpm Yep gotta go go go fast

"Im freeeeeee!"

The fire extinguisher causes more damage to the engine than the fire usually does. Many competitors do NOT want a fire extinguisher emptied out into their expensive engine. If the flames are coming out of the pipes, or not hurting anything (engines are mostly metal) then let it burnout on its own if it's not a big deal. I certainly would NOT want a fire extinguisher emptied down the throat of my $35,000 drag car motor if it didn't need to be... So many of these rude fire extingisher comments by people who do not understand. 🙄 Don't make yourself look ignorant.

@@davelowets If the Engine was any good it wouldn't have fucked out!

@@peterpenberthy2918 Wrong.. 🙄 You just "fucked out".

@@peterpenberthy2918 the engine could’ve blown up from a simple crack to it, you let it burn out you might be able to fix it with a 200$ weld if you flood it you need 15,000 for another engine, I don’t get why people as clueless as you are so confident in being correct

@@david-468 100% agreed

Hahahahahahahahahahahahyaahayyaqyhqqggqaahahahahqh

better of the smell of a shart for sure!

I bet you wouldn't if it was yours...

@@davelowets I would not be dumb enough to have one.

@@johnadams-wp2yb There's nothing "dumb" about enjoying one's hobby.

Hold my beer

Right. I'm sitting there watching, and am like whelp, there goes an engine, there goes an axle, front diff, rear diff, etc. And these cats can't be making enough money to where replacing that is gonna be chump change.

Well that 6.4 at the beginning wasn't a good truck. So I don't know what he'd hope to accomplish with that pos ford.

Absolutely it does lol

Must hurt extra for the engine to blow right at the starting line lol

And i didnt even include them all lol

More so than usual. I've watched a few of these vids, and that's a record for the multi-layered breaks. One had the hitch and drive shaft break. Is it just me or are these breakdowns more common on the standard trucks? (Maybe because they weren't originally built to pull loads on that scale.)

In all fairness following on the first comment, the tractors had their fair share too. First time I've seen the engine smoke out AND lose a wheel. It's easy to imagine these mishaps are expected, but that's a lot even for the basic assumption!

@@jordanscherr6699 Some years are worse than others... It sure doesn't help the situation in the breakage category that diesel horsepower is suddenly on a major rise in the last few years also. Look at the higher than ever engine block failures. A bunch of them ejecting the entire top half of the block, head, and intake system right into the air, out of the vehicle. It's crazy. That wasnt a common sight 20 years ago.

@@davelowets When you say horsepower, you mean the octane of the fuel?

@2JZ with a big single Agreed, that's one strong possibility. Should run 'em on Castrol R, after all, if it was good enough for the Spitfires and Hurricanes in WWII, it would've served some souped-up agricultural machinery more than adequately! To be honest, anyone who supercharges a lawnmower is gonna reap what they sow sooner or later . . . . .

@2JZ with a big single I knew about the carb's inferiority vs the 109's injection, but didn't know that a brass ring fixed it. Obviously I don't know your level of understanding when it comes to the IC engine, but if you can tell me how the little brass ring fixed it I'd follow your explanation. It was interesting (to me, anyway), to read how the pilots, inhaling all that castor oil, got a serious case of the runs after their flights. After all, everyone knows that castor oil is used for constipation. I'm sure the sheer fear and exhilaration would've caused the pilot's to need a spare pair of underpants. I saw a Ukrainian soldier interviewed yesterday, and he said all the soldiers there have two uniforms, because after a stint on the front line they need a swift change directly afterwards - and he was only half joking!

@2JZ with a big singleThanks for the explanation about Miss Shilling! I remember the name of Guy Gibson's dog. Not exactly "PC" in today's world! I have come across a lot of German Shepherds called "Blondie" - like Hitler's dog. I expect you knew that everything German became so unpopular during WWI that the royal family changed their name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor, and German Shepherds to Alsatians . . .

Don't you mean 2 months ago?

@@davelowets no, im sure he doesnt

@@snypa-ck7hn look again...

@@davelowets maybe he lives in canada

Kuy

No injuries no sir.

@@BUILTDIESELMAFIA 😎🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅Now that's what I'm talking about!!!

@@BUILTDIESELMAFIA There is have some injuries, the engine 😂

I mean they build them knowing it can break like that.

It’s part of the hobby.

Yes he did

He must be hurting after that

A few years ago, I was thinking that would make drag racing more interesting..... Put an S-curve in the middle of the strip. 😆

I'd be a hill billy

If they were fighting thru a divorce,are they still brother and sister?

Well, those guys luckily wear helmets. Otherwise this whould have been REALLY bad.

They would have a sore head in the morning

Thank you!

Oh the humanity. Its beautiful hey

A lot of the pullers, do not want that chemical sprayed all over the engine, that’s why they don’t move very fast to put it out, 👍👍

I’d rather have a chemical to clean up than a pile of ashes.

seems to be a reoccurring thing at pulls not a lot of fire protection equipment .

Look at dragsters pro comp ect, a few 1/4 mi just to be rebuilt. Now imagine buying a vehicle that only lasted a few miles. Crazy to me

@@rl-bq4xt but those teams can rebuild it under an hour

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tn1Df1joZTA.html These rusted old tractors were better than the machines in this video

esp. when fuel is $5-6/gal. lol

@@zztop8592 Not the fuel they run. 🤏👆👆👆

@@JGunit Yeah, the alcohol they use is about $30/ gal.

or there neck

that looks like one hellva of expensive hobby,or whatever you call it,i bet those that own all trucks go home and just go bonkers,i couldnt afford the front tires,much less own one😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

@@jerryedwards4489 One doesn't get involved in these types of hobbies on a whim. They don't go "bonkers" after a failure, because failures are part of the game, and they are accounted for as part of the budget before one gets involved. It would be plain stupid for someone to pour all their money into a machine like this, with nothing left to account for the issues and expenses that WILL happen along the way, and expect to make a go of it.

@@davelowets what do they get out of it? Sponsors? Money? Is it like other motor sports?

@@tjtruth4793 Nope. It's done for the love of the sport. Yes, there are sponsors, and cash purses to the winners, but no where enough to make it a viable job for everyone involved.

Kelompok

Youd be wrong

@@charlieh3335 really? well good for them.

Well i hope you never look down the side of one of these machines

Same story about drag car when your 10.000Hp engine blow up on starting line...

@@leeproffitt8676 the sponsors on the sides are mainly for sponsoring the pull itself, not for paying to build the trucks.

Right. These guys just don't know the psychological impact of certain names on their rigs. Rigs have feelings too!

Those tires develop a HUGE amount of pent up inertia also.

Most do probably but that wouldn't be as interesting

Sure. Some make it the entire season with minimal carnage.

And it's still nothing compared to pulling in Europe or Australia...

Or concussion inducing. Getting pinballed ain't a good way to go

Their long wheelbase and low center of gravity make them extremely unlikely to flip so they’re not mandatory for this class

You mean the Dodge death wobble at 7:50

@@GT-fi4sk not as bad as the Ford but still probably wasn't cheap 😂

Who needs them? They are usually dangling in the air, until they come tumbling down.

p

why do they use four-wheel drive

Thank you!

You mean like that tire?

I don't know about that man. Race might become who can launch their tires the furthest forward with rockets.

so you mean, it should've been a competition about making a launcher, that can fling things the furthest?

Some of them actually do use them but mostly don't. If I ever pull I'm using one FOR DARN SURE

Yea because i bet the one guy in the YT comment section knows more than their entire team. Amazing how they rebuild entire vehicles, but just cant figure out the seats. Lmao.

Absolutely 🤣🤣🤣

😆😅😂🤣😭

The pull distance is from the front of the sled pan.

Disposable engines. These things aren't meant to last

Some of the truck engines see nearly 10,000 RPMs.

Spit works better

@@clearcreek69 Pee makes stinky steam lol

I was thinking it was probably soapy water. There’s some sort of surfactant in it.

Is the 9N a super heavy duty driveline?

could be the first pull, could last the whole year. its a gamble.

As was the "final drive"

That’s what I was thinking. He had PLENTY of time to stop.

i mean that was the exit from the track to might as well roll to the trailer lol.

He's flying, on dirt, and has a ton of weight hanging off the front. Guess that makes stopping pretty tough

Definitely

They shoulda gone electric lol

It's not so much tbe horsepower. Its the torque that wins races.

Not really lmao

Right. It's all about freedom. One's freedom to polite my air, as well as thiers.

@@kevatut23 It is more about the individualist freedom to develop technologies that others may disagree with. You may hate coal rolling diesel-powered vehicles while someone is engineering a diesel drag racing vehicle that can blow a Tesla Model S plaid so far out of the water you could call it the Falcon heavy Tesla Roadster...
