That is the sweetest sound! I remember the first time I went to the Gator Nationals and walked by the fence when they launch... Felt like someone trying to push you over. Absolutely nothing like it.
@@MS-Patriot2 Modern dragsters can only run a maximum of 90% nitromethane while this one is running 98% and a higher % will give you that extra cackle that you see in this video! Of course modern motors have adjusted idle rpm, 2 magnetos, 500ci hemis, 8.2L blower, and like I said 88-90% of nitro. This is a 60’s 392 Hemi with a much smaller blower so the 98% of nitro and that great old motor will give a much better sound (to most people) than modern nitro! Modern motors are all billet and custom made just for drag racing while these were pretty much stock block motors so it will always sound super violent compared to the modern nitro motors
@@drag.race.god7316 lovely explanation, many thanks. I agree, that ‘just on the edge of detonation’ really gets the hairs up on the back of my neck! Also like that momentary relief from the cackle after the throttle blip.
I have that sound coursing through my veins. I would be working on a guitar and I would have the sound of a nitro car from Fremont in my head. This is before they started strapping down blowers. The blips. So cool.
That sound is great, the same with a pulling tractor with four modified engines, a diesel pulling tractor, or a two cycle snowmobile with triple pipes! Cr 250, banshee ect.
Beauty. Best sound ever in the internal combustion world. Only thing close is the first ten feet of motion when a modern A-Fuel (90% nitro - no blower) engages the reverser after a burnout. Totally pissed off at the universe sound at dead idle. I just wish the dragster on this video was on stands.
You can tell the newbs at top fuel events. They crowd around the cars in the pits, and when they fire them up and the fumes hit them, they scatter like roaches at night when the lights come on. 😅
I got to sit in the seat of one of these years ago and experienced this! It was like a whole other engine once the nitro was turned on! This crew looks like pros!
Back in the day it was called 'tipping the can. the lid and the packing slip!' The irony is that on the UK feed it's being shown following a Polestar EV advert.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Come to the legends event at Maryland international raceway, it’s open to 1989 and older door cars, as well as the front engine rail cars and old school funny cars
LOL! Iwas just thinking, when I was a kid back in the 60's I thought they dressed that way because they thought it looked cool lol, you know like the pilot of a ww1 open cockpit biplane lol.🤷♂️🙆♂️🙋♂️🙏👍
I hope that guy is not a family man because if you blow up the rear end in that car I promise you will not be a family man that's why they switched putting people in front of the motor😮😊😊😊😊 well drive what you want God bless does sound good though😊😊😊😊
Two things. The blocks water passages are most likely filled in to make the block more rigid. Second, the fuel has a cooling effect. Plus the amount of time these engines run is about the length of the video. After a run they were often rebuilt.
This is one of the things in staging after the burnout. Sometimes it takes longer when they drop the lights and let you go. Sometimes your running hotter than others. I imagine this would be somewhat critical.
Still blows my mind that people strap themselves in tightly to cars from the depths of hell like these. It's a blessed thing. Beautiful machines.
That is the sweetest sound!

Cool seeing the headers starting to glow.
I get goose bumps when i listen to that sweet music.
The change over was insane. The guy in the white shirt in the back was bopping along like it was music to his ears. 👍👍
Dang!, They let that thing stay on nitro forever... and I loved every second of it! 😂
I'm guessing 99.9% with a splash of alky to keep it from detonating. Pure music.
That's a really sweet dragster! The switch to nitro was very dramatic! I so prefer vintage top fuel idle sound over the modern day sound.
I totally agree!
@@drag.race.god7316what are the factors that make it different? I know we have bigger blowers, twin pumps, twin sparks, is that all ?
That's when his Balls Shrink! 😮

I can feel my eyeballs and eardrums melting through the screen. The pipes are visibly glowing at idle in daylight. I want to be there!
Should be captioned, "This is 392, and This is your 392 ON EVIL"! SooooViolent!!👍

Just love it! Could listen to her all night long. Old School Cool 👍🏻🔥🏁
Those are nostalgia dragsters guys ,they aren't going to retire them anytime soon. 😂

1:07 cleanest shift ever
Wicked throttle response!
Poking the Bear!
IT'S LIKE STANDING AROUND A BAR-B-QUE WAITING FOR THE SAUSAGE'S TO COOK 😂.
SATT 👽.
because youve never been near one
@Tinas2Labs YOU ARE RATHER IMMATURE AREN'T YOU ?.
SATT 👽.
Holey smokes! Look at those pipes just a glowin!
When the guy walks up putting hearing protection in to do the switch, you know it’s about to get real!

You’ll never catch me running 😉
Nothing beats old school cackle!
If Aliens ever do reveal themselves to us, we have got to take them to see this!😁👍

The engine looks like a terminator machine!!..
should name the dragster…. The Terminator!
Gorgeous rail.
Love the switch to nitro. 👍👍👍👍
ALL 8 CANDLES ARE LIT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!
All switches to nitro are the craziest ever😎
1:08 Fuel change occurs.
your nether regions are hugging the back of the diff housing in these things that takes balls of steel
I could listen to that sound all day. Music.
Lovin the #1 cylinder header glow.
#1 cylinder on the left bank is getting a tad warm!
Now all they need to do is add some hydrazine to make it really interesting.
Check the headers turning red.
AA/FD-Forever, Just bitchin✌
Once the nitro hits she starts sounding like she means business!
Good for kidney stones
The total krackin has been released! Nasty nasty nasty!
If you've never seen Top Fuel....go!!
Howdy.
Have mercy ! Please soothe The Forefathers' Spirits ...
Regards.
As the leading header pipe turns cherry red....
Makes my eyes water again!
Back in the day it was called 'tipping the can. the lid and the packing slip!' The irony is that on the UK feed it's being shown following a Polestar EV advert.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It never gets old ,does it? :)
I'll bet that engine has a 3/4 race cam, at least. 😮
I thought these old-school driver-in-back dragsters had all been retired due to driver injuries from exploding engines.
Yes retired to make passes (at most events) but not retired to cackle!!
Come to the legends event at Maryland international raceway, it’s open to 1989 and older door cars, as well as the front engine rail cars and old school funny cars
@@DennisBurger-hc3ie Nitro?
Yep
They run a class called the wild bunch, it’s nostalgia nitro cars
Very Kool cracked car.
Just like my wife before and after a smoke!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most Dragters ran HEMIS why because that what it took to win 🥇 Mopar old school for life . 👌🇦🇺✌️.
If I had this I’d never get anything done. I’d roll it out into the driveway and fire it up.
Damn that is sweet!
What keeps it from over heating?
And yet some people think electric cars will take over drag racing!!! LMAO
A guy with a horse and buggy once said that about cars 😉
@@RalphLaak I can tell that you have never been down a strip with an open header car. More than likely never been to a drag race in your life.
LOL! Iwas just thinking, when I was a kid back in the 60's I thought they dressed that way because they thought it looked cool lol, you know like the pilot of a ww1 open cockpit biplane lol.🤷♂️🙆♂️🙋♂️🙏👍
She sounds extremely angry!!❤❤❤❤❤
That engine is the same age as me 66
by far, NOT, the "The CRAZIEST switch to nitro you will EVER see"
Ok…?
Music ro my ears!!
Mesmerizing!
ONLY IN AMERICA, HALLELUJAH
Brutal power.
Music to my ears!
❤I love the raw power
I luv me sum nitroooooohh!
I hope that guy is not a family man because if you blow up the rear end in that car I promise you will not be a family man that's why they switched putting people in front of the motor😮😊😊😊😊 well drive what you want God bless does sound good though😊😊😊😊
Nitro! ❤
Like listening to the voice of an angel
Does anyone know what percentage he’s running?
98
Thanks…. Sounds pretty stout!
Bad ass sound
Headers turning red
Soul thumpin'
Nitro but not top fuel. Unless it's a nostalgia car.
Nitro and a supercharger means top fuel. It’s a 60’s top fuel dragster, nostalgia nitro.
600 HP switched to 2000hp in an instant!
Damn...what a beauty. 😍
If God ever chose me 2 b deaf... please let it b by this sound, would go out happy😊
I;m still waiting to see The CRAZIEST switch to nitro you will EVER see!
Then keep waiting…? 👍🏼
Why doesn't it overheat???

Nice you made a engen run and switch fuels. But truly boring as hell. Would have been 1000 times better to see it make a run.
Ok…? I’m truly sorry for wasting your precious 3 minutes 🥺 I apologize that you decided to watch this video.
Yeah buddy 😎👍
WOW!👍👍👍👍!
Make a pass...
Not bad
Oh f.....k yes
Aagh!. So Cool!
Nitro or nothing 👍🏻🇺🇸
cooooooooooooooool
What was so crazy about it? 👎
Ok 👍🏼
NEVER GETS OLD !! 👍
Wasn't crazy. Just normal.
👍🏼
Oh yay totally crazy...👎🏼
👍🏼
Man what power... Beautiful...
Badass
