The modern landscape of drag racing looks lots different than it did even 20 years ago, especially when we look at performance. Full bodied cars on comparatively tiny rear tires are doing things that fuel cars were doing back then and they are doing things that alcohol funny cars are doing now. The ability to prep the tracks properly, tire technology, the allowed technology in the cars, and drivers who are advancing along with their equipment have fueled these performances and continue to do so. But there’s another part to this whole thing as well, it’s really damn hard.

You are going to watch a load of runs below that show what happens when you miss the tune up even just a hair in one of these cars. If the tire sticks and the front end is loose enough that it starts to hover, the air will get the car off the ground like a kite. If you moved 10 lbs from the front to the back and the front end starts to hover after the suspension stuck the tire, you will be waiting for the in-flight movie to start at some point during your run.

We can hear it already, “Just put wheelie bars on them!” Nah. We’ve got nothing personally against wheelie bars but what we do know is that when the sticks are not on the back of the car it is like watching high stakes poker, which is the only type of poker that’s fun to watch. Why? There is risk involved. There’s ballsy, on-the-fly decision making happening, its the magic of small tire racing.

All the drivers walked away. Some shorter than when they started the run.
