For those of you who don't know Leah and/or Factory Stock Showdown.

They can get up to 8 runs but it depends on track and weather. I think the tires are about 900.00 each and yes it is expensive. That is why sponsors are so crucial.

Well take slicks off the list for the wife car, she thinks she a drag racer though, think I will get her a helmet! HA!

They say the fuel pumps on these are capable of 100 gallons per minute and 500 psi. Slicks are ok till it even looks like rain and then it's all over with. A slight mist and you will be sliding off into the ditch. You may have seen this video. It is a single cylinder of a fuel car at idle then wide open throttle. @Smitty335

Doesn't even take a mist for me! HA!

That has to be expensive!

I ran Mickey Thompson shootout tires on my bike for a while. Over 200 bucks a pop and only lasted a month or so. Then found a stickier street tire cheaper and lasted 4 times longer

@Smitty335 I added a video to my post which shows the amount of fuel on one cylinder of a top fuel/AA Funny car engine. That is one of the ways they make over 10,000 horsepower. And you can't imagine how loud they are unless you are there. @Delton Drag radials are the deal now. They last a little longer and some are street legal.

Magnetos that could power a subdivision lol. All that to burn a liquid that was never meant to be used as fuel (its actually used in the dry cleaning business) lol

[Mopower58]

You got a lot of folks! I did notice last night, which you will like, they added more weight to all the V-twin bikes, Harley,Victory,Buell, etc.They all have to weigh 640 and the Suzuki 600. Trying to get that parity I guess.

Screw parity. Ppl aint honest enough to have parity. I say run em heads up with same class rules like ps cars. If your v-twin cant run, youre obviously in the wrong class lol.

 

[Delton]

Friggin Matt Smith is just like his old man. Running that mouth and full of sh*t. They are both an embarrassment to the sport.

So...NHRA still allowing HD and company to run twice the engine to keep up with 40 year old Suzuki's?

Of course. Its the equivalent of allowing turbo'd V6's to run PS cars lmao

Well my team didn't win but at least a Torrence car didn't win in T/F or a Force car in F/C.

Im a Force fan but it was still a good race. Totally against any kind of domination so also glad Torrence went out too. And actually glad Hight struggled even though hes my guy. Nobody needs to run away with it.

I just never have liked Hight, too much like Force I guess,I admire Beckman because he survived cancer and is still pretty good. I used to like John Force but he is just too overbearing for me. Of the Forces I guess Ashley was my favorite. Was good to see an independent win F/C!

I was rooting for wilkerson. He is getting that thing figured out so they better watch out for him lol

I think my Toyota 5.7 does that! HA! That's alot of fuel!

 

[Mopower58]

Yes that is,especially just for one cylinder. That is one of the ways to make over 10,000 horsepower. I don't see how they keep that much fuel burning. With two magneto's and 16 plugs I guess it gets done most of the time. I know your Toyota gets poorer mileage than the Chevy but I don't think it burns that much fuel!
