Homewrecker Motorsports doing a start up on alcohol ( methanol), and then Nitro Methane getting ready for a test pass at Ozark Raceway Park

Crazy how it goes from sounding kind of like any racetrack ls about to take off to suddenly the terrifying gates of hell being opened

At Famoso, California, my middle son walked down the east side to finish line to see what 300 mph looked like. He just grins and says it looks fast.

Literally I could listen to that going to sleep!...no shit, I think I just might

Man that chop is just un-fuckin-real. I need to hear one of these in person.

I was wondering if the cams are different on todays alky cars from the ones in the 70's. Many of the alky cars back then had a loping idle indicating a radical cam.

Top feul. Some day I'll stand at the stage

2nd one started as a petrol generator and ended as a cranky drag motor😂

So they squirt alcohol from the bottle into the motor to start it, then switch over to the nitro methane mix once it's running do they?

[microsoft]

wow that was great wish I could do that

[TheAsdffaaa]

what car is that? That aint a funnycar, but that is a top fuel engine. In a promod chassis? Interesting

Where can I get some of that Nitro to put into my 2001 Chevy S-10 pick up?!

God I wish I could afford one of those cars and motors and not have to bring 10 guys to rebuild the motors after every run or at least that motor and put it in my 1970s style front engine nhra top fuel dragster I built. And it's exactly 100 percent period correct build I did my self with blue prints I got offline I already build oval track cars asphalt and dirt super latemodels and modifieds so building a top fuel front engine dragster from the 70s was easy for me it has a 900 hp old dirt 410 cubic inch sprint car engine in it with huge bug catcher intake all carb no supercharger or boost and runs 7.000-6.90s all day in the quarter mile and that's with it tuned down on alcohol to keep the motor reliable. It's only making 915 to rear wheels when it's tuned up all the way but turned down I'm making 750 to rear wheels right now. I want a top fuel motor for it or even a top fuel motor in my tube chassis drag car that has a 1970s fiberglass funny car body on it that I got off a old funny car that was sitting in a and the chassis was all bent up but this body was just sitting on top of it for storage and I got the body it's bad to the bone looking car I just need a bad to the bone motor to go in it and run 4-5seconds in it and I wanna get a top fuel motor but tube it down so I don't have to rebuild it after every run😊

That's a pro mod engine silly. :P
