Around 1963 or so Martin 131 dragway was just getting going and I kind of knew the owner. Things were already loose back then so me and my buddies would be standing within 30-40 feet from the likes of Garlits and “The Greek” at start line. Still the most awesome sounds I’ve ever heard.

That transition from alcohol to nitro gives me goosebumps every time

"Gas is for wash'n parts, alcohol's for Drink'n, Nitro's for race'n" 👈🤠🏁

The first conductor saunters to his task. So cool watching the old pros.

This has some of the best audio I've heard of the difference between running on methanol (alcohol) and nitro for a dragster. Nicely captured video of the Bill Pitts Magicar.

Such a piece of beautiful music to my ears!!! Had to wipe the tears from my eyes to be able to see the keyboard and write this thank you.

Nothing is better than a real engine on nitromethanol!

One of the best musicals I've ever heard greatly composed

[TheMoezilla]

Anybody else here from "Vintage nitro dragster warmup"? LOL! Awesome video!

Love how on the switch over the left bank fires on nitro first, then the right bank follows. For a split second you see and hear four holes firing on nitro and four holes firing on methanol, then it gets rowdy.

"Wild Bill" Pitts, and the Magicar strike again!

[faerieSAALE]

What you call a FIRE SNORTING MONSTER WITH A REAL GROWL AND BARK!

The 11 thumbs down are from Civic owners.

Top Eliminator to the staging lanes, Top Eliminator to the staging lanes.

Looks like they’re set up for a pretty short race!

[mytmousemalibu]

You can sure tell a big difference in the hot cackle tune in Magicar in comparison! Pretty healthy amount of fire visible when warming up on alcohol which isn't too flamey normally. Probably running pretty rich so its quite radical on nitro! Perhaps a little softer on the compression ratio and late timing to show off the beautiful nitro fireshow! Love, love, love it! My nose and eyes are burning just thinking about it!

THAT ASTRO CAR, ..ALWAYS THE LOUDEST CACKLECAR AT ANY EVENT, THEY MUST BE TIPPIN THE CAN.

[xXtoyhippieXx]

fuckin hell dude that transition to nitro wakes that motor up

[jeffcoomer]

Front engine is cool but the racers don't miss them

[afod]

What is the fluid in the bottle at 1:20 being squirted in the injectors as the engine shuts down?
