I'm a little late on my comment but I just have to say, the guys that drive these front engine dragsters have guts. These are my favorite cars to watch but definitely the most dangerous to drive. Awesome vid.
Do you still have contact with Steve, Wendy and the boys? I use to work for Steve years ago (his 2IC at TTI, Granville) and was earmarked to steer this car when he was building it. JB
All you front engine guys might want to read the Don Garlits story and find out why he went rear engine. I know it looks cool that's the way they originally were but very very dangerous.

Old school, front engine dragsters.
Nice drive pete
To see this car run at night go to ua-cam.com/video/S2fqNGM4mYQ/v-deo.html
The engine noise has been muffled which is what I want to hear
How did Peter Byrne fit in that thing with those giant shoulder pads?
@ 0:42 ...well thats awkward lol
Matts Madness are you two?
no buddy your way off lol
I said same thing while watching video
Matts Madness I don’t know, they both seemed pretty comfortable with it. What happens at the strip stays at the strip!
NO way do I want that engine in front of me!!!!
Robert Mottram which is Don Gartlits invented and perfected the rear engine dragster. Lost part of his foot in an explosion.
@@frankbuck99 I was just thinking of that
Why left side more smokey than right side?
Racism.
How the Hell do you hear your cell phone ring in that thing?
*Full volume earphone good luck to my ear drum.*
Is it top full?
BIG DADDY DON GARTITS.....number 1
Wow
WOW!
this is not a top fuel dragster it is runing on alcohol
you are an idiot!
Brian Sakariasen it’s a top fuel nostalgia class for front engine dragsters basically have the same set up as the top fuel dragster
Nostalgia top fuel, look up his site.
Brian Sakariasen they start it on alcohol then open the pump for the nitro...spraying straight nitro into the hat to fire it up isn't that smart..
If this has the same setup as a Top Fuel dragster how come it ran a 7 second quarter mile?
Dat steering ratio xD
To think that there are gtr's and EA86's that are faster now.
40 secoends into video guy touches cockpit. 😆
@@xsu1664 lol
Looks like you hurt #7
