Hey guys, ChrisFix here. Today we're doing something awesome
You guys are going for a ride shotgun
In a couple of drag cars
Not just any drag cars, the most iconic drag cars.
on youtube.
What's up guys I'm Cletus from the [Inaudible] youtube channel
Today you're going to hop in with my boys James and Ruby
this is a thousand horsepower automatic Powerglide transmission drag car as well
as you're gonna ride along with me in a stick-shift 1500 horsepower Corvette
with no body panels known as Leroy we love drag race and right now we're at
cleats and cars if we are going to go have some freaking fun
this drag strip rips hopefully we can run a seven second fast in this and a
decent 8 second pass in this and then after that can we go for a ride in
neighbor and do a nice burnout I think let's do it Phil oh man oh yeah alright
you guys are in for a treat this is something most people never get to
experience you're about to jump into Ruby a thousand horsepower turbo
Corvette I won't be in the car with you but I will be miked up so let's get you
guys in here for a ride-along now you're in good hands James is a pro at driving
this car and we spoke before and he said he's ready to set a record with this run
so sit back and hang on to the burnout box where you burn out to
heat up your tires and clean up for driving around the track
the same when doing the burnout keep one hand on the wheel to steer the car one
hand on the shifter
when you're on the ship that you got to go to high gear so this way
alright pull it back down in the first year to leave you'll see two buttons on
the stairwell once that transbrake the loss of arm once a pump box the bug
locks on the turbo car allows you to bunk the khari to build booster this way
can be possible it's on
at the end you see my hand hit that second lever that is the parachute it
helps you slow down and holy smokes that was nuts you guys just ran a
quarter-mile in 8.4 seconds which is a new record for this car and you were
flying down the track at 161 miles an hour what a ride so thank you James and
now it's time to get into Leroy and go even faster
so quittez is taking you for a ride in his twin turbo 1500 horsepower stick
shift Corvette which is the first-ever GM stick shift car that did a
quarter-mile in less than eight seconds and as you can see by the crowd
surrounding this car shouting taking pictures you are sitting in something
special this is one of the most famous drag cars on YouTube and you're about to
see why what's up guys
good job Cheerilee had the bald eagle
about $30
you know man that was crazy wheelspin off the line but Leroy hooked up and
then blew past that other car in the left lane and if you thought this was
cool well we are not done yet next we're going for a ride in neighbor for a
burnout competition neighbor is a supercharged 1,000 horsepower Crown Vic
built to put on a show and destroy tires now I need you guys to pay attention to
Cletus and listen up for this safety briefing when the car comes to a stop
now this is insane holy smokes and his burnout contest goes all night
you guys have to see what this looks like from outside the car
now Thank You Cletus and James for the ride alongs but wait there is more
the final ride alongs you're gonna be doing isn't the most winningest drag car
in the world with one of the most winningest drag car drivers in the world
Dan Fletcher let's take a look inside this car now a really cool thing about
this when he comes up to the staging line I want you guys to pay attention
right down here to the right is a trans brake button this right here take a look
at that because when he goes and races he presses down on this it puts the car
in reverse and first gear at the same time which holds it steady at the lights
then he's able to mash the gas it revs to about 4,800 rpms and he lets go to
the trans brake and that's when the car launches and that's how you get a
wheelie so this is so cool we're about to go down the track do a wheelie in
this Camaro the most winningest car in the NHRA history let's get the helmet on
and go for a ride
and here goes a ride-along in a professional drag race and remember to
watch dan's hand release the trans brake to launch the car
and what I raised the other guy one by point zero zero one of a second and
that's how intense and how close these professional drag races are insane all
right now that was amazing that was so much fun I hope you guys enjoyed it and
it was so much fun that I want to get a drag car don't worry don't worry hold up
I know we have the drift sting to our right that's gonna get a rollcage it's
gonna get this engine right here in the center put in there then we're gonna
supercharge we're gonna make crazy power that's gonna happen don't worry and then
to our left we have the del Sol which is gonna get fixed up restored and then
down below look straight down that's the turbo charger that's going in the del
Sol all of those things are gonna happen but after they happen I want to do a
drag car budget build I want you guys to tell me right now what car do you want
to see me use as the drag car any ideas you have I want it to be a great budget
