Closing in: Sanders, Nitrochondriac could clinch Lucas Top Fuel Hydro title Sunday at Diamond Nationals
Wheatland, Missouri (September 3, 2016) – Bryan Sanders admits he’s allowed himself to think “a little bit” about winning his first Lucas Oil Drag Boat Racing Series Top Fuel Hydro championship.
“But I’m just taking them one at a time,” said Sanders, who pilots the Tommy Thompson-owned Nitrochondriac – one of the top attractions at this weekend’s 6th annual Diamond Drag Boat Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway.
“We have a pretty good lead right now, but it’s not big enough where it’s all sewn up,” Sanders said. “We’re taking it one round at a time and we’re just focusing on this weekend and trying to get the win.”
The win, if it comes in Sunday’s finals, would clinch that title with two events still to come.
Sanders served notice in Saturday’s qualifying that he’s all business. Nitrochondriac earned the No. 1 qualifying slot, zipping the 1,000 feet in 3.47 seconds at 263 miles-per-hour.
It’s been a dream season for the Nitrochondriac team, which has led the standings from the start. A win on Lake Lucas during June’s John Haas Memorial was a key piece of the puzzle.
Sanders, who owns an automobile detailing company in Houston, Texas, said it’s been a full-out team effort to reach the brink of a title. Nitrochondriac was the Top Fuel Hydro runner-up each of the last two seasons.
“It all starts with Tommy Thompson,” Sanders said of the Tulsa-area resident who owns Nitrochondriac and several other drag-boat teams. “The team he has put together is phenomenal. Whatever this team needs to be the best, he gets it.
“Todd Haas, our crew chief, came over from NHRA and he’s an old-time boat racer before he went to NHRA and worked on Tony Schumacher’s car and Cruz Pedregon. He brought all that knowledge over to us.
“Tom Conway is another legend of the sport building our motors. They’re fantastic. We can go out and set a record run like we did at Marble Falls, going 3.38 (a record for elapsed time at 1,000 feet), come back and the motor looks like it just came out of the box.
“Then every crew member is doing their job correctly. You can have the best crew chief and best engine builder, but if the motor comes apart and doesn’t go back together the correct way, you aren’t achieving anything.”
Sanders is a second-generation drag-boat racer. His dad drove Top Alcohol Flats for several years, but before Bryan began racing boats he drove NHRA turbocharged car-tire drag bikes.
“Then I boat one boat and then another,” he said. “Now here I am, running Top-Fuel. It just progressed.”
Asked to describe the sensation inside the capsule when the Top Fuel fires off the line and reaches 250 miles-per-hour plus in three seconds, Sanders paused.
“It’s hard to describe,” he said, mentioning more than four Gs (gravitational pull) upon acceleration. “For me, when I get three-quarters track and this thing is moving smooth as glass … you’re like ‘come on, come on, let’s finish this thing.’
“Even though it’s happening in 3.3 seconds, it seems like 3.3 minutes. Then when you throw the ‘chutes and you’ve make it at 260, there’s nothing like it.”
Sanders admitted some of his job about season has been tempered by the critical injury suffered three weeks ago to two-time defending Top Fuel champ Scott Lumbert. Spirit of Texas, driven by Lumbert, crashed in the finals of the race at Marble Falls, Texas.
“There’s only eight of us in the world, Top Fuel Hydro drivers. We’re a tight-knit group,” Sanders said.
Sanders said he’s avoided any serious crashes during his career.
“All you can do in this sport is safety, safety, safety,” he said. “It’s sad to say, but every time there is a crash, it’s a learning experience for all of us. We re-designed some things in the capsule since (Marble Falls). I rely on my crew to give me the safest boat they can give me.
“I’ve been real lucky and blessed. I hope it stays that way.”
