Antron was REALLY fast before he got into drag racing. He was a track star… Olympic trials fast in the 100 yard dash.
Open wheel drivers that go to NASCAR sometimes get more aggressive because they have FENDERS. You went from sitting ON a bike to sitting INSIDE a roll cage. Did it make you braver? How did it change your riding/ driving style?
ANTRON QUOTES
“The transition from Bike to Top Fuel had nothing in common. The bike accelerates for the first 150’ then you’re along for the ride…you tuck down and try to be smooth.
Top Fuel accelerates from the start all the way through the finish line. From 0-100MPH in 8/10th of a second…over 5 G’s by half track.
On the bike you’re sitting on it trying to hang on. You can feel things on a bike because you sit on a hard shell.
A lot of different deals happen in a Fuel car and it happens in a microsecond…because of how fast the car accelerates.
