    I got to experience a warm up / rev up at Bristol Motor SPeedway as a promotion for the drag strip. It was intense! The crowd was cheering loud as it started and ran for a bit, then when it was revved, the whole track went dead silent. It's truely a whole new world when these things are running. It also shook the seats when it revved. Pure awesomeness.

    Polished alloy, nitro fumes, slicks and the shockwave blast of a hemi doing what it does best... simply heaven!

    It's funny when the fuelers fire up everyone runs to watch but they run away just as fast when their eyes and noses start burning from the nitro. A diehard race fan like myself just breathes it all in like it is a dozen roses. Once in a while we get lucky and we are directly behind them when they jack the throttle, you are right it knocks you back,,, nice vid

    The first time I saw them I was literally blown back into my seat as they passed by.
    I still have the imprint of my shirt on my chest from the force.

    IMO there's only two kinds of people, ones that have witnessed this experience, and those that haven't. If you haven't, you really just can't imagine it. Everytime I take somebody new to a fuel meet, they ALWAYS say it was WAY better than they ever imagined.

  • @jakobv8

    Call me stupid, but I love the way it slooowly turns the wheels in neutral, quickly spins them when the clutch is applied and then stops as the driver pulls the brake. Sure, every car can do the same, but paired with a top fuel idle it's impressive.

    Its hilarious watching people that arent ready for it when they rev it. Ive been going to Brainerd for the last 5 years and its just awesome. Im uploading a video now of another start up from last year.
    The sound and the smell is just awesome.
    I cant decide if I want to try and go to a Outlaw race or go to BIR again this year. After watching this vid BIR is back in the running. haha

    Of course the engines have ignition distributors. The ignitioncurrent, however, comes from two magnetoes as opposed to an ignition coil, which is used on a normal car engine. The distributors are on the top of the magnetoes right where the ignition-cables are connected.

    That tap of the gas is actually a full throttle blip while holding the brake. It helps to seat the clutch.

    Do these things use so much fuel that the "hydro-lock" when starting if not careful?!do u have a start setting on the fuel system to avoid this?
    Do these have no cooling systems due to short operation time and strangth. Ive never seen one up close.

    I don't think they even turned on the nitromethane. If I'm not mistaken, when the engine is cold they start on alcohol. Once it reaches a set temperature, they switch to nitro and everything changes. The engine starts popping, the crew puts on masks, and the exhaust turns a dark yellow color. Nitromethane exhaust is about as pleasant as tear gas.

  • @captain150
    @captain150 16 років тому

    I am 100% sure on that.
    Some facts about nitromethane;
    1. It burns far slower than gasoline
    2. It contains LESS energy per kg than gasoline
    3. It can be burned at a ratio of about 1.7:1 air to fuel, as opposed to gasoline's 14.7:1 ratio. So despite having less energy, much more can be burned in each combustion.
    The main reason it can be burned at such rich mixtures is that it has its own O2 (mentioned
    Just check out the wikipedia article about nitromethane, lots of good info there.

    almost, we go through about 4-5 gallons during the warm-up. So at ~$50 a gallon, it takes about $200 to keep it running for a minute to a minute and a half.

    And the crying, I think it must be the nitro, coz one of the particles that they use in it is used for pepper spray I think.

    No, they run about 6.5/1 compression. A lot of cyl pressure though. The nitrmethane contains two oxygen molecules and so lots can be packed into the engine without the fire going out. That and the blower will push around 50psi. Outrageous engine really.

  • @KreigsMarine2
    @KreigsMarine2 14 років тому

    @icebreaker50123 Well its actually measured by how many gallons to the quarter mile. The last time I heard how much they were burning to run that fast it was about 14 gallons of NitroMethane (at about $40 per gallon) per quarter mile, but that DOES INCLUDE the warm-up, burnout, and the actual race itself. Now, Im sure it about 15-20 gallons!

  • @srybishop
    @srybishop 13 років тому

    @mr1000rx
    The "bang" at 2:30 was they blipped the throttle to seat the clutches, thats right, just a little blip. There is no way to explain to someone who has never seen a fuel motor running up close up in person. The noise, the sound, the raw power and response of these engines can only be realized by going to the track and seeing for yourself. If you are a racing fan, you owe it to yourself to attend a Top Fuel NHRA event sometime, amazing.

    @mopartyrone 17 років тому

    Not saying that they don't have 2 distributors, but for anyone wanting some good information, they are actually called magnetos. They don't need a coil or MSD box, the "Coil" so to speak is built in to the distributor and creates its own spark as it is turned. Don't know for a fact, but my cousin used to wrench for Tommy Johnson JR back when he ran the Mopar TF and said it will knock u on ur ass if u turn the mag in ur hand.

  • @lanofthefree
    @lanofthefree 16 років тому

    I believe they are limmited to 500ci but they are SUPERCHARGED with ALOT of boost i thought like 60+psi and run on Nitromethane which has oxygen atoms in it which means you can use more fuel for less air. it converts to about 2.5x more HP than Regular Gasoline. and it is a very high Octane fuel.

  • @jenkins80
    @jenkins80 16 років тому

    Powerthristy, just to clear it up, nitro is actually a very bad fuel. Gas has more btu output than nitromethane. But what makes nitro different is that when it burns it creates its own oxygen so that is why they can put so much nitro through the engine and offset the lack of btu. You would never be able to put that much gas through that engine, but if you could then gas would be the better fuel.
