All things Drag Racing.

I don’t think Ive ever seen a complete engine blow out of the rails, was that after a crash?
 
I’d say probably. There is a picture out there somewhere in nitro land that is purely engine discharge. I’ll post it up if I find it again
 
I'm glad that's one of the rear engine dragsters, it can't be too long after they switched.

It's so crazy it almost seems fake that the tires are still ballooned.

I see what looks like a piece of the crankshaft in the air in front of the wing. And maybe the magneto next to the engine.

The other picture I can’t seem to find, was a front engine. The only thing still attached was the fuel line

Likewise the tires were also still standing
 
Leroy dropped two tenths and picked up 8-10 mph with his new body. As it blew the doors off haha. I guess starr isnt used to their bodies going 200 mph lol. Looks like they learned something!
 
I think the big issue was the vents weren't cut out yet just aft of the front tires...then so much air pressure inside the body it just blew the doors outwards enough that they blew off.

Could be a 6.70 car now, and you just watch them change the rules to outlaw funny car style bodies in that class. They have a history of changing rules aimed specifically at Cleetus.

Well he has a big wallet. Though admittedly he makes sure to use it for entertainment
 
He is one of the few youtubers I really respect to be honest. He is the first to tell all his subscribers "thank you" when he is able to do something huge.

He was able to fulfill a dream of owning an MD500 helicopter, Lord knows it probably cost him close to a million bucks by the time it was all said and done. One of the first things he did was spend three full days in Ashville NC flying relief missions for the stranded people there after the hurricane. He never exploited any of that...just went out and did his best in terrifying circumstances to help wherever he could on zero notice.

He is smart enough to continually re-invest in his companies, his brand, and his channel.

He does have deep pockets now, and I don't begrudge him at all. Four years ago he was 5 minutes from insolvent, leveraged to the absolute maximum in order to buy his racetrack. Huge risk, and now he is reaping the huge rewards. Big balls for a 20 something.

The flipper bodied Leroy is entertaining as hell. :burnout:

I think World Cup changed the rules on the turbos that they had to swap out on mullet to meet the rules.
 
How about last year when he was not allowed to race his class because he had a billet block? Bumped him up to the top class. He got jobbed because he won the year prior against the import guys.
