Top Fuel’ Dragsters have the same power as twelve F1 cars, drink as much fuel as a 747 at take-off and their drivers experience the same G-Force as astronauts did on the Space Shuttle.
All that power means the tyres have to be pretty special to get the car from zero to almost 320mph in under 4 seconds.
But, how do these specialised tyres help the dragsters pull 4 and a half G under acceleration? Why do they wrinkle like this and how do Dragsters reach such incredible speeds? All of that coming up.

Their 0-320mph time is faster than our car's 0-60

"As of February 9, 2024, Bob Tasca III holds the drag racing record with a speed of 341.68 miles per hour (mph) in a Funny Car at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Florida. This is the fastest speed ever recorded in drag racing, surpassing the top speeds of Top Fuel dragsters. Tasca III reached this speed in 3.840 seconds."

This is insane, but what I find most amazing is that the tires have been engineered so well that both behave in the same way. You could easily have a situation where one tire folds while the other one doesn’t and that would cause pretty big problems

You should have mentioned that there is so much torque that the clutch welds itself to the flywheel.

It also reduces the shock load on drive train components during launch

I also crinkle when I accelerate.

I’ve known about top fuel racing for decades but never thought about how the rear tire wrinkling up and ballooning affected the gear ratio. Pretty cool

2 dragsters have more HP than the entire 20 cars of an F1 field.....crazy!

The tires are actually the only thing that changes the gear ratio. Since theyre a direct drive. The clutch slips for about half the run, until it gets hot enough where it welds itself into a solid piece. Then its just the tires expanding, and they expand quite a bit.

Bead locks are goated here

13000hp. 335mph, 3.1 on the Richter scale

More concepts should be explained so simply and eloquently. 10/10

For reference a single dragster (top fuel) cylinder. They use so much fuel that a gallons worth fills the cylinder... Almost hydrolocks it, then is ignited with a spark that couod weld steel.... each cylinder using a gallon or more of fuel per second. Usually need rebuilt between runs to...

Two nations separated by a common language... c'mon, Scott... They are called "Wrinkle Walls"!

The engines are so powerful it damages itself 🔥

I love the creative thinking that led to this. Amazing.

That is so cool. Thanks for the great explanation of how it works

That's just brilliant all the way through

They are call "wrinkle wall"

The coolest thing about dragsters is they have to rebuild the engine after every race. 6 second engine life.
