This TRD-powered funny car uses its 11,000 horsepower nitromethane-powered V8 to run down 1,000 feet in under four seconds.
With engine pressure exceeding 20,000 PSI, and temperatures rising from 180 to 280 degrees during the course of a run, only the most well designed components can survive.
Did you know that Mobil 1 engineers worked closely with Kalitta Motorsports to develop Mobil 1 Racing Nitro 70WT?
Using four gallons of oil per run, this bespoke synthetic motor oil helps protect against the extremes unique to the rigors of NHRA competition.
Ultimately, this technical collaboration has helped Kalitta Motorsports increase the lifespan of their parts by 25 percent.
Since 2020, Mobil 1 and Kalitta Motorsports have collaborated to help build on Connie Kalitta's 60 year pedigree of NHRA success.
Our relationship kicked off with a victory in the season opening 2020 Winternationals by Doug Kalitta in Top Fuel.
Mobil 1 and Kalitta Motorsports have since taken home a Wally at:
2020 MidWest Nationals with Doug Kalitta in Top Fuel.
2020 U.S. Nationals with Shawn Langdon in Top Fuel.
2021 Gatornationals with J.R. Todd in Funny Car.
