Fireforce Jet Funny Car

The World Record-Breaking Fireforce 3 Jet Car of Martin Hill will be here amazing the crowds on track!

Fireforce 3 is a world record-breaking Jet Funny Car, clocking the fastest terminal speed of any jet powered car on the planet at Santa Pod's during an Easter Thunderball.

The Chevrolet Lumina bodied machine has a Pratt and Whitney JFTD12A (J60) engine from a CH-544 Skycrane helicopter in its chassis. This develops over 5000lbs of thrust and guzzles 120 litres of aviation fuel per appearance on track!

That's great.

I love the fact thatat the end you are staring at smoke pouring out of the back and when the smoke clears it's at the other end of the strip.

Been there, stood behind it and got sore eyes, sore throught and could smell AVGas for days.

[Dyney]

It's not actually "Avgas". It should run on "Jet A1" fuel.


Imagine what I come home from work smelling like (occasionally) :rolleyes:

[bigdavep1]

Hi Dyney

[Dyney]

Yes, Jet A1 is basically paraffin :D
Very oily and a pain to get off your skin :(
