Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Solid video Preeny.
Is that phenomenon still fairly common?
Causes?
Not related to explosions, but chassis design. Why such a long/narrow chassis (I'd hazard a guess at reducing drag co.)?
Ad why the flex in the chassis? You can particulalrly see it "bouncing"in that video. Is that engineered to be a fail point? Is it becausr the high torque + rigid chassis would just be a recipe for breaking (even more) things?
Material? Chromoly?

They are "Nostalgia Top Fuel" cars. They still run them today. This is what they will be running at the CHRR next month at bakersfield. That happened last year at the march meet.Originally posted by schoona View Post
Narrow, because it makes them more stable in a straight line, same with being long. And more stream lined. These cars have no suspension as such. The suspension is in the chassis and the tyres. It was bouncing because he pulled it up hard on the brakes and the braking area at Famoso (Bakersfield) isn't exactly a billiard table..
Yes, Chrome Moly (4130) chassis.

Yes still common. Not so much in NT/F because the rules don't let them screw them up quite as hard..
And of course my absolute favorite.. Nostalgia Funny Car. These things are REALLY good to watch!
And my absolute favourite AA/FC.. Blue Max!
