Top fuel, Nitro Thunder, Sydney Dragway - May 4th, 2019
Спорт
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.

And beautiful Australian lady drivers with beautiful accents can't get better than that, you go ladies don't ever give up you're doing great.
AWESOME!
why does the engine die in regard to tyre issues??? thanks
Beautiful filming!
Where are the crowds? in the 90s at eastern creek drags the place was usually packed, but every video of see of Sydney drag way there is barely anyone there. Sad.
6:30 when you tryna celebrate but you slap your frind in the face :D
This is so superior to U.S. meets on many levels. I'm a fan for life!

@blooneyful It's something I felt in the moment but I still watch plenty of racing in the U.S. blooneyful. I like how much attention to branding Australia puts into the track, the uniforms and the cars. Everything looks so top flight and organized.
Awesome racing new subscriber
That last round was mad. One car got down the track and even then it was very loose. Though in reality not good viewing.
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!
Hotting up
So cool to see Ashley still running down under

Love you Ashley Sanford
Australia accent is just plain beautiful.
I love the commentary compared to nhra… gives so much detail.. even tells u what the crew is doing before the race… dats more than cool bc when i was a kid i was confused asf until my dad told me lol. Wish nhra could teach fans aswell. Instead its just racing and beer lol
AMAZING FANTASTIC MAGIC EXELENT

Are there any guarantees that the top fuel cars will actually be at Willowbank for the next round? I paid good money and went out for the last round of the 400 Thunder Top Fuel Championship at Willlowbank, and no top fuel cars showed up. I want a money back guarantee before I lay out good money to go again.

@@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.

Our closest equivalent to the NHRA Pro Mod class would be Top Doorslammers.
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
