I was at the top of the bleachers on the left next to the line. Seeing that Et and mph were magically. I raced back to the pits and was able to have a nice conversation with her. Last year i got a free tent pass and got to chill with all 4 of the drivers, lost the picture of me and john force tho.

[@702jim]

So there are couple of points that stand out on this video. One, Scott Palmer is an ANIMAL for building and driving what is the really the Blown Altered (with DOORS!) for our era in Drag Racing. It also shows that you can have 10,000 horsepower and if it doesn't hook, you're not going anywhere. When Scott gets the set up right and is on a Track with enough Bite... its going to be something to see FOR SURE! I predict that you are seeing your first 4 second Pro Mod right here. Keep the shiny side up and hurt some feelings Scott, we are all supporting you!

[@davidfreeman8074]

Always wondered with just the extra mass of a PMod compared to a FC --the latter just tubes n skin. I woulda paid cash money just to see the flames on a Studie, but Thanks Scott...! This one was FREE. PS shuddering to think what a modern fuel sys and huffer would do on a couple of vintage coat hangers in front of the washtub... YEOW ride the rabid bull. This man is mighty brave witha dasha loveable crazy.

[@beyondquestion]

Yep, I said 4 seconds too. Figured it's gotta be heavier than a funny car so, put a second on the pass lol! These are the motors that wake u up at a NHRA drag race when the other classes are done passing, just the start up alone!

[@Cfbrolley1320]

@@davidfreeman8074 I guess the best rough comparison would be to compare Australian pro alcohol funnycar and pro doorslammer - both are the exact same engine but different chassis - the alky funnycar has run quicker by about 3 tenths, so a top fuel engine in a pro mod would probably see 4.80s over a full quarter at best. That's a pretty rough comparison though.

[@bechtoea]

The lack of a good run is because of the track, not the car. The amount of "glue" they put on an NHRA nitro prepared track is ridiculous and it has to be for it to hook. This track simply isn't set up to hold 10K+ HP.

Lol....I had to watch this more than once. I'm a life long fan of NHRA drag racing, I have to tell you, Scott Palmer might set a new trend with this thing. With all the street racing stuff out there he could bridge the gap between street racing fans and Drag strip only fans. I can't tell you how many street racing fans I have talked to that don't even know about the NHRA, or T/F for that matter. Alot of them are in disbelief when I tell them that the 500ci engine in a Top Fuel, and Top Fuel Funny Car produces between 10,000hp and 12,000hp, and 7,000 to 8500 ft/lbs of torque!! For those of you that come across this video and aren't familiar with Top Fuel......... T.V. and KZbin does not do it justice. A Top Fuel engine under load is so brutal that 100 feet away in the stands it blurs your vision, rattles your bones, and takes your breath away (Not kidding)😁 So if your ever at a Top Fuel event my friends, and they are warming up in the pits.... WATCH THE FLAGS ON TOP OF THE CAR HAULER. Wind direction is important.....Ha ha ha!

[@TheMoezilla]

Street racing isn't really my thing, too dangerous. Must be my 40's talking...however, I have been on numerous videos where the folks in the comments are expressing disbelief over the fuel car numbers, while having yet to even experience the sensory overload of a run! Kinda ironic actually...last year at Bandimere was my first time watching Pro Mod's at the track, maybe a dozen runs or so? But I have seen hundreds of top fuel passes between Bandimere in Colorado and Brainerd in Minnesota. Different strokes for different folks I guess. As far as warm ups go, shallow breaths and sunglasses is my standard gear. Plus go find Scott Palmer's car up in the pits, one of the last teams doing the throttle whack that I know of...

[@Oldsoldiersays]

@@TheMoezilla its the guys in their 40's that are driving the current generation of street racers. The 60's era passed it to the gen x, we passed it to the newest gen(z?). Most of the guys racing right now are my age(born 1970-1980) and came up in the 90's.

Shanely Shane that I look cool in the video

[@CBRuRedE1]

This here is a Stude with SERIOUS attitude! When these guys get that bad boy dialed in and sticking, they will literally be in a class of their own. Or create a brand new class, altogether. And the header flames were definitely higher than the roof. By atleast a foot or more. For their 3rd time out with this car, i think they did very well. He didn't wreck, nothing broke (that i know of) and no one got hurt. Competing at this level, everthing comes into play. Elevation, track temperature, air temperature, humidity level, suspension settings, chassis settings, chassis dynamics, tire pressure, etc. It requires a lot of time patience, testing and tuning to get a monster like this to go not just fast, but more importantly straight.

Lol yeah

Scott,,that's beyond badass,, and that is right, never forget where you came from! Good point

Question: Why do Americans do stuff like this? Because they can, baby! Awesome!

[@janecimino6813]

Love the way they add Fuel right before takeoff.

[@brenthill3241]

Lotta raw fuel. Was it on 2 cylinders for the burnout.

[@nick4819]

Nah just not making enough spark to ignite the fuel that you see. Some racers turn off one of the magnetos as to not make too much power for the burnout as well as trim the fuel way back. That's why after the burnout...you'll see the crew walk up to the car again and remove the throttle stop(keeps them from over-revving during the burnout), turn on the other magneto, etc. Next time you go to a race...after the burnout and the crew walks up to the car...listen how the engine sound changes. That's the fuel burning more thoroughly and as he's staging..the driver has a lever/switch in his cockpit that turns on the fuel to "rattle the earth" levels...you'll hear an audio change with that as well. If you can look at it just right...even has sort of a yellow tint to the exhaust.

[@brenthill3241]

​@@nick4819 Okay thanks. Makes sense.

[@richardmaxwell5371]

I love old Studebakers. My first two cars were Studebakers. My second one was a 54 which I loved. 289 Studebaker V8. Didn't have quite as much power as this one has.

The car really coasts well, nice and straight with practically no friction. Racing, the fastest way to turn money into noise.....rap music, the fastest way to turn noise into money.

[@MrMeatWad420KC]

Lmao 😂 never seen anyone put fuel in a nitro car while it’s running... y’all crazy 😜 badass car tho

[@apriliarider6072]

I wouldn't do it either but it should be safe enough...that nitro needs a lot of compression to ignite.

[@steve19745]

nitro will only ignite under extreme compression

[@jamoshotrod]

Safer than alcohol or gas

[@jr4038]

That’s me Matt hinkle! Scott palmers crew guy lol thank you! I guess I’m crazy! It’s just a rush I love

[@Henry5623]

I have a feeling the clutch was slipping pretty badly with both launches. The sparks under the car around where the transmission is isn't a good sign and the fact that the rear tires never seemed to gain RPM's at fast as the engine did leads me to think the clutch setup needs some rethinking. I suspect the clutch would slip so badly that Scott would assume he'd broke traction and let off the throttle. Yet when the engine RPM's would begin to drop you'd see the rear tires suddenly start to gain RPM's and break traction. Meaning the clutch was finally locking up enough to send some of that power to the rear end but only when the engines RPM's would drop enough for the clutch to have a chance to grab. I could be completely wrong but having spent more then a few years on the track I'd about bet money the clutch setup is at least a big part of what's going on here.

[@lukeskywalker2063]

Can u even back enough power out of that NHRA top fuel for a full run. Guess its a no for nopreps. Imo

[@biggin5434]

Yes limit the percentage of nitro and or fuel

[@GHK--Q4r324]

how hard is it to change the clutch out each pass being in the cabin like that. I know the Funny car i work on is sometimes a struggle

Well,it did run like an old Funny car ! The burnout should be at least half track ,and then the dry hops and and blast for a few hundred feet ad shut off! Go watch some old 70s funny cars do it and try it again.Jungle Jim ,King Camero ,Mazmanian , Holy Toledo,Pisano & Matsubara ,Diamond Jim Annin,ect. those were the REAL funny cars!

[@Romans--bo7br]

Michael Skewes.... Ahhhh Yes, those Were the days!!.... and I remember to - Before NHRA allowed big Corporate money to stick their noses into it (aka McEwen & Prudhomme Mattel "Hot Wheels" F/C's).... when you would see well Over 100 Top Fuelers show up to qualify for a 64 T/F field!! Sure miss the Real F/A's as well as the "twice motored" TG/D's !!

[@scottw2157]

It wasn't intentional, tires were junk then.

Can someone please explain to me why it kept running after the second throttle blip?

[@suleiman3811]

What would this have to do to in order for the power to stick?

[@jl123ist]

2:56 Eardrum destroyer. Typical Pro-Mod engines are painfully loud if you are close to them, and you can feel it in your chest. I imagine a top fuel motor is painful even with earplugs in.

[@elmoloveftl]

So if it hooks up and runs too low an ET, is it immediately subject to tech requirements that it doesn’t have?
