Hey now. My car is street legal, so surely Larsons truck is street legal...
I'll go:
Wipers
Driver's side mirror
The piece sticking straight out of the front bumper (likely to catch the beams)
The stupid part about drag week is how many of the 8 sec or faster cars break down on the side of the road. If it's street legal it shouldn't require constant work to keep going. How many of those cars are running legit emissions systems on them? Sure it's great to run a 6.16 in the 1/4 but that takes away from the whole reason the event was started. It was for guys who are regular joes to go on a tour like a big time event. Now it's mostly pros, starting to turn into another NHRA.
Only 8 cars in unlimited class. The other 292 range up to 15 seconds. It is a great event and in the 1000 miles those cars drove they are street legal.
These guys do not have chase cars. If they break they are repaired by the 2 people in the car mostly with the parts in the trailer that these cars pull.
Larson,s truck is by far the newest vehicle in the event and the rest are vintage cars. Excempt from all emissions and modern laws including seat belts.
I'm not sure why everyone gets so pissy about.
They are plated and insured. And drove 1000 miles on there own power in all weather conditions 8 including downpour that delayed 2 events.
Not every state is Ontario governed. This is Oklahoma boys
I'll just leave this here for the AV gas guys.
The truck has two fuel systems: On the street the engine burns gasoline supplied by twin Aeromotive in-tank electric pumps feeding 220-pound-per-hour Precision injectors (on the upper row) and 550 pound-per-hour Precision injectors (on the lower row) of the intake manifold. On the track the engine burns nothing but alcohol supplied by a belt-driven Aeromotive fuel pump . The engine control unit (ECU) is a FuelTech FT500 EFI System supplied by Pro Line Racing.
