*video* Wow! Just Saw The Quickest Ever Pass..4.61

[Guest two.06l]

evening people, I just watched Andrew Cowin do a 4.61 sec pass at WSID. I dont think I will ever get over it!!!!!!! I had never seen a top fueller before in real life, the shock wave almost knocked me over. His time is the quickest ever recorded in Oz. Well done to him and his huge crew. He is the bravest man I have ever seen. Took a video...the shockwave hits the camera so its abit shakey, I will post it up 2nite.

Please do.

Hehe, another convert! Top Fuellers can only be experienced live ... TV or video cannot convey the experience.

[NXTIME]

Can't disagree there. It's the best feeling when first watching those big guns live. I also loved standing a few metres behind the top fuellers when they are getting set up/started in the pits. I was blown away - literally

Congrats to Cowin and the team.

the experience was unbelievable!!! I cannot believe that a human sits in that rocket and survives the trip........let alone controls the thing!!! Surely he has to do damage to this internal organs from the Gforce and the shockwave??!!!!?? Great way for me to be introduced to the BEASTS.......I am half way home and we are still pumped from what we just saw!!

[B-Man]

Yeah, it's running an RB26DETT bored out to 500 cui, with Nismo N1 Rootes supercharger at 50 psi and stock Nissan twin magnetos. He added Nulon octane booster to bring it up to 90% nitromethane.

The "gutbuster" (braking) is what causes internal organ/detached retina damage !

These guys have titanium balls, in an inconel scrotum.

I love the sensation of every hair on your body standing on end from the SPL that only top fuellers can deliver... it's a 'must-see-before-you-die' for everybody.

Its been a long time between drinks for me with the topfuel boys.......Winfield triple challenge at eastern creek raceway to be precise.....back then running a 6 was insane.........they are much more powerful cars now and incredible to experience in the flesh. All drug addicts should have this as part of their re-hab....as the drugs will never go near the high these things give you.

yes.......im hooked!

Stace will post vid soon......its only recoreded on a Canon still camera but its better than nothing.

[Trust33]
