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

[@john90430]

I return to this video once or twice a month, and when the changeover happens at 1:55 I always crack a smile.

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.

[@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!

[@xXtoyhippieXx]

wouldnt think of it as a earthquake with the nitro fumes and the poppins more of a outta body experience image 2 of them go down the track even todays dragsters nothing like it.i guess these are just more pure

[@InternalCombustion]

well idk but the ground was shaking and shit was LOUD!

[@TheMoezilla]

Internal Combustion...ToyHippie is correct. These machines are amazing for their purity, the modern day machines are amazing for their ability to overwhelm. Only a few teams still implement a throttle "whack" into their warm ups. Makes these seem tame by comparison. And that ain't even taking into account two of them leaving the line at full song. It pushes organs around. If you haven't, put a NHRA nat on your bucket list.Thank you again for the video.

@@InternalCombustion WOW, but I guess its, I mean I see its true....you get what you pay for & I watch tons of videos on KZbin in HD & UHD and I realize that you just cannot get the same quality out of a $500 HD cam as what you're gonna get from a prosumer piece of equipment that is dialed in.... Keep up the AWESOME footage , its truly a joy to sit back & just take it in....kinda like catapulting the viewer to wherever you are.👍👍👍👍👍

[@InternalCombustion]

@@frank-xp6pj yeah exactly, I started filming with a cell phone like most others. Then got a GoPro and a drone and then started getting into the mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses. Cell phones and GoPros can get good footage when the conditions are right, but at night time like this you really need something with a bigger sensor. The external microphone is almost a must as well. It's a fun hobby, but it gets addicting and you find yourself constantly spending money on the latest and greatest gear haha. I've also had to force myself to learn video editing software which is really challenging but also very rewarding. I feel like each video gets a little better than the last. But I really appreciate the kind words from viewers like yourself, it means I'm doing a good job! cheers mate🍻

[@marktemsic7457]

I need to be standing in between those 2 cars LIVE... U Tubes great but I want it to rattle my nuts...LIVE..

[@Richard.Hybels]

I’ve seen quite a few of these vids. There is apparently a jug of methanol on the ground then the guy pulls the hose off the intake and it then runs on Nitro. But how is the ally being sucked out of the jug?

[@InternalCombustion]

the vacuum from the blower spinning maybe? no idea really just my guess

[@Richard.Hybels]

There would be vacuum there but it would seem like there would have to be a little better metering than just a 3/8’s hose in a jug but I dunno.

[@casinc.2138]

There is a vacuum in from the blower that sucks the fuel in the line is basically just a pick up tube

[@CATech1138]

egads...idiots...grow some eyeballs that work....the alky bottle is a low pressure hand pumped bug sprayer....that works because they don't use much fuel at idle, even at methanol's 5.5 to 1ish idle mixture, the mix is so powerful you don't much of a cylinder fill to keep the engine ticking over...so not much of a fuel/air charge means not much fuel needed so it's not difficult to supply and the low pressure and small diameter fuel line work fine

[@mattg432]

Kind of confusing that the red starts up while the yellow shuts down.

[@deronborghi5929]

[@markwhite3612]

[@DS-ss7vl]

Didn't these cars warm up on Gasoline back in the day??

[@calvinnyala9580]

Methanol. They warm it up with methanol, then switch to nitro once fully warm. By the flames alone, that's already nitro burning

[@mytmousemalibu]

X2 on methanol. Probably some guy's did use gasoline but its easy to foul the plugs out so wet with fuel it won't start if you prime with gas. The fuel to air ratio of methanol is a lot closer to nitro than gas is and that automatically is better. Plus you can lean it out with methanol and get some heat in the engine before the switch. Thats somewhat why the idle is smoother and more rpm on methanol in most cases.

[@johnmarshall4442]

Considering they have no cooling system , how long can they run that engine ? I would think it all goes by engine temperature.

[@pro-seriesfabrication3810]

2-3min. Almost run out of fuel before you'd melt it down given how small the tanks usually are

[@Paul-zo7xe]

The shear volume of Fuel is basically the coolant

[@jimmiestyer2262]

Amen to that👍

[@mytmousemalibu]

As much as most of us would love to see it, me included, there's good reason not to. Quite a few cackle cars are the actual original cars which are irreplaceable if damaged. Those old vintage drag parts are insanely expensive if you can even find the stuff. Most of it got used up, what is left is already been bought up. Another big factor is these cars are really not safe or at least up to todays rules and regs. Lot of people got really messed up or killed racing back then. The roll cages and chassis aren't up to it anymore. Lot of cars were built with inferior materials back then because its all they had or didn't have the cash. Some boys even built their chassis's from exhaust tubing. My dad witnessed someone back then if a fueler lockup the rearend which you are sitting with, legs over the axle tubes and your wedding tackle against the back of the axle. That rearend locked up and ripped free from the chassis mounts. The whole axle spun round and beat the driver to death against the bottom of the roll cage. Things known and practiced back then with the technology they had just isn't safe. It would be a shame to hack on these old cars and make them something they never were. There are guys that do build modern incarnations of the old cars to go race which is cool. Theres also vintage only races like Hamb Drags, Meltdown drags, Southeast Gassers, etc where you can time travel back to the 60's and see some cool shit race just like it was back then and with some original old cars. Not usually AA/FD slingshots but sometimes some nitro exhibition stuff. Its worth going!

[@CATech1138]

they don't like modern traction compound coated tracks....they designed were to launch with alot of timing advance, wheels spinning then let the car catch up rather than the modern 5 to 8 rotations to lock in and then bring up the timing....so basically they bog horribly and explode the engine or the rear axle explodes which is bad because the driver sits ON the rear axle....unless the clutch lets go instead which is between the driver's feet

Well, this Biden voter is sitting right here, watching the very same video as you are... P.S. Over half the population of the US lives in the city, and a majority of that number that own and drive their own vehicles, travel distances that are easily covered by modern EV battery capacities. And they can use them to drive to their nearest NHRA track to watch ICE powered race cars, blast up and down the track...the best of both worlds... But of course, with you fringe lunatics, it is either all or nothing...just like Greta...
