Horsepower is a measure of rotational power, I worded that first sentence badly and I apologize for that. It still requires rotation as I said in my previous post, no matter how you look at it there is a torque requirement and an angular speed requirement.
Power and Horsepower are not the same thing. Horsepower is defined as τ*ω where Tau is torque and Gamma is angular speed in radians/second (SI units, but still). It is simply a way to convert engine rotational power to the linear power output of a horse, that is why James Watt included RPM and circumference in his…
Not horsepower, there’s no rotation in any of those. They produce thrust, which is not horsepower.
I completely forgot that was a thing, you’re right it is the Jato.
It’s a Traxxas Nitro Rustler (wheelie bar not shown in below image):
Hang on, in 1967 wasn’t it was Mario Andretti and Bruce McLaren who won at Sebring? And both Sebring and Le Mans winning cars were run by Carroll Shelby’s outfit, weren’t they?
Came hoping to find someone who has done lighting, left pleased.
Won’t be there, sorry, will be putting on real, actual motorsports.
LS engines aren’t designed to be used as stressed members, for one.
He drove a VW in 2005.
That article was posted in 2008, they revamped the site sometime around 2013. How does your comment make sense?
What? No, Hot Rod removed commenting from their entire site years ago when they revamped it, has nothing to do with this car.
Ten years already? Dang, still my favorite Ridler car ever.
Lots of R&D. Axle housings are custom with much reinforcing at the third member and planet flanges, champagnes are billet, knuckles are billet, some other bits the average person can’t see are probably billet as well.
Pellet was at all the double-racing rolls this year. Coincidence? I think not!
I say blame Pellet, always blame the FNG.
Nah, you’re getting monster trucks confused with NASCAR. Far fewer drunks at monster truck shows.
The car in the trailer was used at this year’s competition, the rule about building a new chassis every year is what prevents the car from being used next year, nothing to do with the car already being assembled.
Hate to burst your bubble, but both those videos are from Lydden Hill where the starting grid is pavement. Still a mighty impressive machine, especially in the first video where halfway down the start straight it kicks in the afterburners and leaves everyone in its dust.
