Even before you need to fart

 

I didn’t wanna mention that so the newbs don’t come steal the deal from you guys but you asked for it

 

Like Bean-O for your cab. Wonder if it'll get the dogs farts early too. That would be money!

 

Sold if it did!

 

I need this

 

Just want to put this out there, does anyone need a free 2nd gen bumper?

 

Did you replace the factory M8 x 1.25 studs with grade 12.9 M8 x 1.25 x 40mm button head bolts while you had the diff out? If not the nuts backing off isn't going to be your issue. The issue is the weak allow Toyo uses for the studs allows them to strip out when you get hung up on your diff. Ask me how I know. lol

 

I spent a solid day and a half in a YouTube rabbit hole of drag race tech.
Amazing stuff!

 

The fuel line is about an 1-1/2 inches or there about. The pump pressurizes it to 100+ psi. Your car is probably 40-50psi but certainly could not put that much fuel into the motor

 

Molly needs this....

 

science!

 

I think I saw a video demonstrating this. It’s like 2 high pressure garden hoses combined. Crazy.
There’s so many interesting things about those cars.
I like how the spark plugs melt and get blown out the exhaust.
HP is kinda theoretical because no dyno exists to actually test the motors.

 

The car I saw was hard pipe! Insane! You can calculate the HP but you'd probably have to do the engine on a stand at the builder tho idk.

 

I’ve never seen the appeal of dragsters until I watched those videos.
Now I’m like Okay...this would be cool to see in person.
I’ve seen trophy trucks up close in Baja. You can feel it in your chest when they go by. I assume a dragster is way way more intense and louder!

 

Trackside or in the stands, you gotta wear ear plugs but that does nothing for the power you feel. If you go to a qualifier, they usually let you in the pits-if you see the team putting on full face masks, they're gonna start the car and if you're nearby, you will know-your eyes burn from the fuel-you do not want to breath that shit but damn, it's an experience.

 

Lol...I bet!
Maybe add a respirator?

I saw motogp at Laguna Seca once.
It was so loud even with ear plugs in. And those engines are only 1,000cc’s but can get up to 18,000 RPMs.

 

Racing is like that. It's addicting

 

“Racing is life. Everything else is just waiting...”

Said one of the greats.

 

High HP drag racing is no joke. I have a serious respect for the people that sit in those machines. So close to death with so much potential energy right behind you.
Then when regular drag isn't fast enough, there's jet drag car racing....

 

Go out to the NHRA drags at Sears Point when they come around. They always end up setting records because of the sea level and weather. So awesome!
