I'm ASD and only just discovering it ... which explains a lot. So this is where I post my videos ... because it's UA-cam and what else would I do. I like adrenalin inducing things because everyone loves adrenalin. I produce EDM and like drag racing ... because adrenalin. I like opera as well, especially Wagner. Maybe I'll post some stuff about ASD .. because it's something pretty close to home and something I feel pretty strongly about.
11,000 horsepower Top Fuel Funny Car start up and switch to nitro
Steve Ashdown and the Undertaker team at Santa Pod, Euro Finals 2024. I love these guys. Drag racing is so much more rock and roll than F1. The F1 pit is a closed off space populated with superstars and bland corporate types. The drag racing pit is open to all and populated with Hell's Angels and geezers in gas masks ... and 11,000 horsepower cars. What's not to like.
The video simply doesn't do the volume of the car justice. The switch to nitro doesn't really sound any louder on the video. It is. The car is always loud, but when they switch the nitro on it sounds like standing right next to a Gatling Gun. My angle here was perfect. I was just to the side of the exhausts so wasn't completely blasted by eye watering fumes. I could breath and see.

11,000 horsepower Top Fuel Funny Car start up and sneaky throttle whack
Переглядів 2,2 тис.Місяць тому
Patrik Pers and the Speedghost team at Santa Pod, Euro Finals 2024. Recording top fuel on a phone is really hit or miss, but I think I got some really good moments of nitro cackle here. Patrik made the first European 300 mph run in a funny car that weekend and they even threw in a cheeky throttle whack here. Those guys are totally crazy. They're great. The sound goes a bit funny towards the end...

FIA Top Fuel Dragsters at Santa Pod: Main Event 2023. Ida Zetterstrom set new European elapsed time and speed records: 3.7737 seconds and 321.01 MPH.
Ground pounders, you feel them going down the track.
WOW!! Katie, bar the door!
I can smell it! 🥰
so nothing happened. oh wow so awesome.
Never forget my first time at a NHRA event at Dinwiddie Va. I needed CPR after my top fuel initiation. No matter how you try to describe the power to someone you'll fall way short. It has to be experienced in person.
Look cat the cool guy without his mask on 😂
Looks like a STALKER gathering.
Why just 11,000hp so close to 11,001 be just so much better alright alright alright alright
My car easier to start, don't need the neighborhood around to watch.....😁
A Dodge Demon can't turn over that blower.
Why is only one of these guys wearing hearing protection? I SAID, WHY IS ONLY ONE OF THESE GUYS WEARING HEARING PROTECTION?
Because hearing pritection does not do SHIT
I love the smell of Nitro Methane in the morning !
Once your hearing is gone, it's gone....
Gotta be one hell of a rush driving one of those. My car has 600 HP and it gets my heart pumping. I cannot imagine that beast!
@2:25. That bottle on the table just walked right over to the edge and jumped off.
Only got a couple ear plugs in
Parece quando meu pai ligava o Voyage 5 da matina pra ir trabalhar
It's pointless to wear a full face respirator if you're not clean shaven
Love seeing 81 colors I definitely support
This gave me wood,
im loving the dude with the ciggy lol..
The head guy tried to be a stud an hold out in the mask longer than he should have showing off. Stand around one light up in the pits outside at a race and you’ll pass out from the alcohol!!
Meh looked like an old guy with eye glasses on probably can't see. Quit crying you might get your keyboard wet.
C’est sûrement eco responsable ?😂😂😂 c’est bizarre on attend toujours le 1 er top fuel de Tesla ..😮 Ouah les mecs ne doivent déjà avoir plus de poumons et plus d’oreilles apres 30 ans Vraiment tarés c’est ricains mais qu’est ce que c’est bon leur goût pour l’extrême !!! ça nous change de l’ambiance « faux cul sauveur de la planète « qu’on trouve chez nous 😢
I'm choking and my eyes are watering just watching it on my IPad!😰👍
Dudes with no hearing protection will regret it, guaranteed.
fun video but hard to watch re: no hearing protection...
You do not understand frequencys. Ear muffs and ear plugs worn together your hearing is screwed...
@@GhostRider-dp2tcI don't get it . Did you say earplugs and earmuffs worn together ruins hearing ? How? Doesn't it protect your hearing? It's the way you worded it maybe!😮
@@vincentlussier8264 I did not numb nuts at all. I said if you understand the environment you would know why hearing protection does not work...
How can you tell who the dumbest guy in the room is? He isn't wearing ear protection.
My old Montego sounded like that.
"I love this crackler so bad I will go deaf for it"...
You do not understand the cackler...hear protection will not help
@@GhostRider-dp2tc LOL, you really do not know what air pressure is? Oh wait USA-USA-USA, why I am not surprised...
Oh yeah, for comparison can you imagine the excitement in an electric dragster pit ? Fucking love this shit. Santa Pod veteran of 50 years.
Alaric, your channel pic looks a bit like Harpo Marx. Is it, or is that a picture of you?😊
My channel pic looks 100% like Harpo Marx
Huge round of applause to you all!!!
Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍
Why was he pouring fuel into the intake when they were stopping the engine ?
I'm no expert ... but here's what I think: it's to ensure there's no nitro in the engine. They never start an engine with nitro. It's too explosive: hence the bottle of petrol. I've seen teams have to abruptly shut down top fuel cars at Santa Pod. It isn't so easy to start a top fuel car up again. The teams have to keep cranking the engines until they've got rid of all the nitro. Then, and only then, can they start the engine up again. So, I guess they prepare for a clean shut down by squirting petrol in the blower and shutting off the fuel lever. The engine runs on petrol for long enough to purge all the nitro.
@alaricpether2930 sounds pretty reasonable to me 👍
Dude..these don't run on petrol..alcohol, methanol, nitro methane is the chosen fuels.
It starts on regular gasoline to get it turning, then they turn on the methanol to get it nice and hot, then they hit the nitro for the Smokey cackle fest. Awesome video!
Alcohol...not gasoline...
@@Goober-o3n gasoline is what’s in the squirt bottle that they spray into the blower while the other fuel pumps are off
Nitromethane not methanol.
@ the nitro doesn’t start until it gets Smokey at the end.
Look it up fellas, all of this information is available
This shit is so loud the table is vibrating!!!!
Dam I started crying watching the video, see ya at 4 wide in NC in 2025, be there or b a square,
I stood next to one on start up as a dumb teen. No one told me what was coming. I felt the compression in my chest. Felt like I lost some of my hearing after that.
If it’s loud outside in the NHRA pits, imagine how much louder it is close inside😊. Nitro gets gets in your blood 😊
2:49 due is holding that fuel bottle with a lit cigarette. Smart.
Not saying it’s smart but a cigarette will not light gasoline on fire very easily unless the conditions are perfect & nitromethane and methanol need a way hotter ignition source to ignite especially nitro so it’s relatively safe lol. We been around the old school guys that been doing it for years.
Hells angels t shirt?
First thing I saw. Like come on buddy, stop. Even if you are, retain some modesty for Christs sake.
Long live the piston driven engine!!!!
The guy with his back to camera and not wearing a mask,( of all things, he is smoking a cigarette), 🚬 just got to have a puff ?!?!?!
81
I go every year to Sonoma raceway in Sonoma California u.s.a. to see and hear the big show cars
This just proves that drag racing is international whether it be NHRA, IHRA etc. smell the nitro, hear and feel the power of 11,000 horsepower
Dude at 3:15 is smoking a j.🎉😂
Awesome. Thank you. Can’t wait for Bradenton in a few weeks.
Big boy club.😊
Man I never get tired of hearing and smelling these cars! I love drag racing!!!
I agree Brandon!!
Well it's not good for your respiratory system and your hearing takes a beating too! If you attend motorsport events frequently you're subjecting yourself to future health issues! Rock concerts also harm people's hearing!
I’m choking
