Watch Jader Krolow Use All The Wheel And Every Inch Of Track To Run 6.60s at 218 In His Brazil Based Nova!

Sometimes I watch people drive race cars and wonder where they get the guts to do what they do. Where they get the guts to make those split second decisions that determine whether the run will be a success or failure, whether they will make it to the finish line under power or end up in a ball of flaming wreckage. Pro mod drivers tend to get most of my attention in this manner. Those are the guys who are constantly skirting the edges of sanity and if this video shows me anything, it’s the genesis of their driving education.

You are going to watch crossover Brazilian and now USA drag racer Jader Krolow in his turbocharged Pro Line powered Nova attack the drag strip in his home country and make a personal best run (in this car). The Nova runs in the 6.60s at 218mph and while that may not sound like something that’s too out of the ordinary, it’s how he does it that will get and keep your attention.

We’ve heard of “never lift” as a mantra to live by before but damn if we’ve barely seen it more awesomely executed than it was here. This thing was out of the groove from the jump off the starting line and Krolow uses loads of steering input during the run to get the thing somewhere close to the groove by the finish line. The fun does not stop there, though as the heavy Nova gets all happy on its toes in the shutdown area and Krolow literally has his hands full right up until the car stops, precariously close to the end of the track.

Where do drivers get their guts? From experiences and situations like these. This dude can wheel with the best of them!

    Awesome driving for sure, but that car could use some serious chassis tuning. It also looks like the chutes might be too big. Those look like top fuel chutes. It might sound counter-intuitive, but for door cars going well over 200, the chutes need to actually start going back down in size so they don’t pull the back of the car off of the ground like what happened here. When you get up to a certain air speed a big chute is going to really upset the car. Bob Stroud will tell you all about it.
