I'm curious how you came to the 2.5G number. It sounds about right, but this video doesn't have any live telemetry.

Many years ago in the 80's I attended a Drag Racing & Jet Car Event at Spokane Raceway Park. It was after dark when the Jet Cars were brought out to run, and prior to the initial side by side run as the cars went Pow! Pow! Pow! (Likely to raise the spectator's excitement) the cars inched forward and staged at the tree. Many others and myself being a crazy kid stood up on the concrete barrier supporting the chain link fencing right at the track's edge to get an "Up Close View" of the upcoming run. The announcer kept telling everyone to get away from the fence and eventually we all stepped down. Being stubborn as soon as I heard the two jet dragsters launch I immediately stepped back up on the concrete and gripped the fencing... BAD IDEA!! I was a short distance from the starting line and just as the cars were past I felt myself SUCKED UP AGAINST THE FENCE! In an instant the cool night air got VERY WARM.. and as I was now plastered against the fence from the "Vacuum" behind the cars I felt the sting of EVERY PIECE OF SMALL DEBRIS, SAND & GRAVEL from the side of the track pelt my bare arms, legs and face... It was a stupid idea, but still one of the most memorable experiences of my life.. I was fortunate enough to be wearing glasses or it may have turned out badly for my eyesight.

@wahidtrynaheghugh260

6 ай бұрын

That pow pow is not for excitement, it’s called 2-step or anti lag. It changes the ignition timing so there is explosions in the exhaust that spool the turbo before the car starts moving. It’s critical for drag racing turbo cars. However it is very exciting lol

The sound alone makes this video worth it.

Felt like I was watching a catapult launch off of a carrier. There was even a hand signal guy!

You can see how the terrain slowly gets less detailed as the vehicle travels further out of the playable edges of the world. Just after this clip, the driver was teleported back to the start of the track. People these days, really trying to find their way out of bounds.

I had to slowly turn my volume down the longer the video went. That's absolutely insane.

I reali can't believe the ride was so smooth like dat and very fast I salute I salute

I never saw this! I was commentator at Doncaster show and briefly at Santa Pod.. I know all sorts of facts ..but I didn't realise that you do the run HOLDING THE WHEEL WITH ONE HAND! Martin, so cool after the run.. star.

Santa pod raceway is over 1km long including the braking zone, which would require you to travel at 20kph or 12mph to go from start to finish in 3 minutes, which is 4x normal walking speed, or a fast run. Just some context for you all.

It's a Pratt & Whitney jet engine from a Skycrane (those massive military helicopters that carry tanks). It produces equivalent to 10,000hp in thrust.
