Fuel Altereds, my favorite. Guard rail to guard rail in 6 seconds flat. But that was on a real 1/4 mile strip.

The sad thing? My dad & his buddy used to build & race BB/GD's w/cast iron 392ci Hemi's that ran low 7's at around 180mph in the 1/4. That was in the late 60's early 70's. I rode in the push truck & hung around the garage as a kid. I miss the old days.

Campaigned a AA/FA from 66 to 71 the 90inch wheel base cars are totally unpredictable and dangerous. I am 70 years old and you could not strap me in one for no money. Most of the AA/FA went to Australia when the NHRA banned them. Must say when I was 20 I was living the dream going all over the US racing at the Nationals against the likes of Wild Willy & Charlie Bang

Fuel is shorthand for nitromethane, as in "Top Fuel Dragster - TFD," vs. "Top Alcohol Dragster - TAD". The title says "Blown Fuel Altereds" but the lack of header flame looks like alcohol instead of nitromethane is being burned.

You know you can use a "blower" (supercharger) and still use gasoline, right? Nitromethane is VERY expensive beats the snot out of motors.
@zephyrthegeek8 жыл бұрын
+Richard Darlington you can't make horsepower like that with gasoline without hurting shit. Besides. Look at the cars. No radiators. They're alcohol
@dennysphone30128 жыл бұрын
I have been to many of the Fuel Altered races and it has been my experience that they do run nitro but at much lower concentration. Unlike full on nitro cars that run a max off 90% nitro, nhra rules. These guys typically run around 60% nitro. Still lots of power less likely to grenade that giant engine that is right in front of there face. Also a few guys do run the full 90% nitro because when they run the announcers make a big deal of it. Listen to nitro vs alcohol engines. Nitro engines make a much more pronounced crackle.

Zephyr The Geek I did see one or two that had flames coming out but not as pronounced as today's top fuel cars. But I agree it sounded like most were running on alcohol. One day when I watch the video again I will point out the scene where I saw some flames when it was night.
