Crazy how things change. Nobody is going to be happy in the high 4s anymore. We watched the first sub 4 second runs for funny car and top fuel at Bandimere around 2012. That a mile or so above sea level.
Brittany at Bristol this past June on Friday night.

3.74 at 334 set a new record for Bristol at 1000 ft.
Mike Salinas was the first to go 300 mph at the 1/8 mile marker in September this year.
Anyone seen a dyno for a 10,000 HP motor?
I've watched them test and tune NASCAR motors and several pro stock motors on a Dyno but not a top fuel motor
 
I wouldn't exactly call Arneson drives and surface piercing props conventional props.
The post that started all this shit and I threw the BS flag on was not a 10,000Hp boat, maybe a 1000 HP boat and the person that started said BS has already backtracked.
And who the fuck are you to call on God, a preacher or something? I'm not sure why you want to call God into this and personally find it offensive.
I don't really feel compelled to list my qualifications, but depending on which part of the boat business you are referring to there are few living people that can compete.
If you are with Arneson and have been for over 40 years, PM me, I ran sea trials on a boat with some of your first drives around Fort Lauderdale out of Derektor Gunnels in the 80's, I would love to talk to you.
Otherwise I'm done with this.
I never back tracked, ol boy came in full retard talking about unlimited hydroplanes with turbines that run in circles….not even remotely the same class, so I said the numbers they run while still talking about drag boats at one point.

I seem to be the only one not confused here. two people have posted info backing up what I said trying to prove me wrong. You were talking to me, I’m keeping up with three people, and one can’t even figure out we are in agreement.

if y’all want to argue at least keep the fuck up with the conversation 😆

What y’all are failing to realize in that gif is it isn’t a race it’s a bye run, or a test pass. they aren’t racing the other lane is empty and they aren’t running a full pass, guy lets off once it’s on plane . He pretty much did a 60ft pass in auto racing, but boats take off before the lights green and there’s a large gap between them and the beam so It’s longer than 60’ testing on a strip obviously. Its speculation the distance being tested, but he’s out of it well before a full run, the rooster tail drops pretty sharply because he let out.


Its hole shot testing. It isn’t a full length full throttle pass, they don’t put out 5 digit horse power at idle. He didn’t even need to pull his chutes he let off so early and as going so slow. thy are required in this class and you can see them on the back.

But what do I know right?

Like a raving mental patient he continues.

Holy crap! I’m about 99% sure that’s the daughter of some friends of ours. And no, not giving out the name for you pervs to creep on her! LoL

Anyone know how to check a name or search a video? I’d honestly be relieved if I could determine it’s NOT her…otherwise Christmas Eve dinner and Die Hard at our house is gonna be awkward this year. LoL
I can find the name just need to know where this video came from.

I wasn't aware there was a dyno that could handle a top fuel engine. In the old 5000hp days they were reverse engineering the HP numbers by calculating how much it would take to get a car weighing that much down the track that quick at those speeds.

If you were going to dyno a top fuel engine it would have to be outdoors. I can't imagine how loud it would be to try to do a pull on a dyno indoors with a top fuel engine.

I thought the problem with dynoing top fuel engines is that they don't survive long enough?

They don't/can't dyno the TF engines. From what I gather the issue isn't so much the dyno itself, but that the engines won't/can't run for long enough to get a proper read.

Clay Millican has something about that on one of his Q&A videos.
 
Looking for investors. Designing new camouflage that has a proven track record. The first release will be camouflage patterned after twist ties (like on a loaf of bread). Everytime I remove one I cannot find it. Following that release will be camouflage patterned after 10mm sockets. I see big government contracts in our future. Open to other ideas. lol.

It's a bit suspect when certain members think every other model is underage.
