What it's like to drive a NHRA Pro Stock Car 

neutral and shut down

you first have to release the chute and then do the rest

usually those transmission are built like that, every time you go back and forth i believe the linkage goes up or down, which make it easier for drag racing, but Alex can explain it better

It's been many years since I was directly involved in Comp Eliminator and Pro-Stock level racing, but from my memory and what was run back then, most teams use a spool (solid) rear axle - no differential at all. Some used a mechanical locking diff, but at Pro-Stock's then average 1500 HP, they were extremely expensive and prone to catastrophic failure. Our shop's low to mid 8 second Comp cars (our own and the racers we sponsored with engines and machine shop support) used spools and gearing in the mid to low 5's. Pro Stock axle gear ratio was usually in the mid to hi 5's (eg. 5.93:1), to keep torque and stress on the gears and drive line down. The ratio is often changed to suit track conditions, but stays above 5:1. We only had one customer who was in Pro stock, and he couldn't afford anything but left overs from the competitive teams. Despite making low end competitive power - just shy of 1400 HP with a used 11000 rpm 503 inch ex-Allen Motorsports / Reher-Morrison BBC - he never qualified at any NHRA events that I knew of. Pro-Stock is too competitive for anyone without big bucks behind them.

Wait for the green light

It’s WAY higher than Pro Mod, the only class that costs more than Pro Stock to run is Top Fuel.

Way more expensive.

@@TheAleutiansolution how is it way more exspensive when wear and tear is gonna be more from nitrous blowers and turbos

@@ericsmith6677 N/A cars are the most expensive to build and make competitive. Power adder cars can just add more power and don’t really have the same development problems or considerations than an N/A car has. As for the consumables, Pro-Mod engines don’t turn the same RPM as Pro-Stock (7,000-8,000 vs 10,500 (12,000 a few years back)). And that amount of RPM will wear down parts considerably faster than an turbo or a blower car. Valve springs for example are changed after only one or two runs on a Pro-Stock car.

Aerodynamics. Or, simply, because racecar!

No more carburetors, all efi now

Pro mod cars have nearly twice the power a pro stocker has so the chassis have double frame rails from the front to rear for the extra power. There are many other differences as well including longer wheel base for the pro mods.

That's a sophisticated race car an I have to drive one one day. I HAVE TO.

fuck you man nobody asked.

Adrian Beasley Did mommy forget to change your diaper!😪

@Caveman Ballistics Bitch.

Adrian Beasley Sorry 😐 I didn’t know it was your Tampon she forgot to change.

@@cavemanballistics6338 i also did not know your mom put you in an orphanage when you were little eek sucks lol.
