Looked liked a meat head doing something the track guys didn't want him to do. I'm guessing it was a burn-out contest because of the skinny tires and all that water and all the rubber on the track.

I guess I don't understand how he even got back to the staging lanes. Around here you'd be escorted off the property. Did the car not have an on-off swtich on the back? Guessing that's the last time he did a burn out at that track.

Any yingyanger can do that, haven't you ever driven on ice? Like what was said, that car didn't have any of the proper safety equipment on it to be driving it like that. That clown is lucky nothing got tossed into the crowd.

And then people will complain that nhra makes to many rules, and say the burn out car doesn't have enought safty equipment on it, go figure. If you think you we be hurt run away, why do we need tons more rules. Last edited by 1967DartGT; 01/09/12 11:58 PM. Brett Miller W9 cnc'd heads STR Chassis fabraction

At which time the driver exits the field AND is handed a QUALIFYING ticket for the main event. He then is allowed into line, and waits for two hours in queue, while waiting his turn to run. Then at the very last moment, as he is ready to go, they decide to say he is disqualified. As for his actions after the run, he was not violent, until the security guard came up and began pushing him (The same guy the kicked his car at the beginning of the footage). It could have been handled better by both parties, but anyone in security or crowd control needs to have better self control.

In a blown top alcohol dragster, the throttle is only cracked open a little. I try to keep it around 9000-9200 rpm. Clutch don't lockup until 8800. If I get it to 9900 rpm I will break inner valve springs. The total throttle travel is something less than 2" and I am on it about a 1/4" during burnout. It very difficult to do a steady rpm burnout, real hard. If I was to pump my petal like the driver was in the burnout contest video my motor would hydralic. When you first start your burnout you must goose the throttle so the car jumps up on the tires and then you have to ever so slightly feather that throttle on a blown hemi at 9000 rpms. I shift the car out on the track at 9600-9800 rpms and if I'm ..1 or 2 tenths of second late on my shift I have seen 10600 rpms and decreased rod and spring life. It's so easy to over rev one of these cars on the burnout and cost yourself a couple grand because of reduced part life. 40 years ago with a lot less horse power.
