@300Z31 ---to add to my post the "Swapping Feet" at the hit HAS to be done
perfectly in sync or the car will not launch properly. then get ready to
shift twice..hand on chute lever...pull chute...start grabbing some
brake/fully depress clutch/foot off accelerator peddle(all at same
time)..as car starts slowing down...hit fuel shut-off...run car outta fuel
and hit kill switch still using hand brake to slow car & that's the short
of it. Not counting what goes on before starting line and burnout.
@300Z31 -- Driving a blown akly car is on of the most difficult drag cars
to drive. Just at th starting line...we are holding on the hand
brake...fully engaging the clutch and bringing up the rpm's to whatever the
crew chief wants us to launch at. The accelerator peddle...doesn't have a
lot of travel to it...and barely touching it will bring her up...now! Then
holding the rpm's steady....while rolling from pre-stage to stage. See
yellow? Let go of the brake...release the clutch and hammer down
@katikruz Wow that's so crazy to think about all that. It seems like a TON
to think about sitting here, much less IN a car. I had forgotten that T/A
actually have 3 speeds. Now when shifting, you're not using the clutch,
right? Thanks for the post. Very interesting stuff! I would love to be
close up to a car like that...sort of with the crew, if you will, at a
race. I've always wanted to see the process fro the end of a race,
rebuilding, warm-up, to the start of the next race up close.
@300Z31 Well...in drag racing...it has to become second nature....no time
to "think"....we train our subconscious mind to do a lot for us....seat
time and more seat time! :) Nope don't have to push in the clutch while
shifting...or we would all be in trouble! lol -- Hopefully you can come to
an event sometime....the pits are open to all fans...and we all would love
to have you! :)
@katikruz Can you elaborate on the difficulty? I love drag racing. I've
never driven a 'race' car, but I love the sport. What all is done by the
driver etc at the starting line? I'm just curious. Awesome video btw. Gotta
love TAD.
To get into any kind of motorsports you take a large pile of money, soak it
in gas and light on fire. Then you spend your other large pile. Seriously,
check out Frank Hawley. Lots of good reviews.
It is...different...a blown alcohol car is one of the most difficult cars
to manage at the starting line in all of drag racing....but man....it is
just something else!! Go for it!
