Nostalgia Top fuel Dragster start up on alcohol and switch to nitro

[@dump3deg6]

I remember as a kid my dad tricked me and told me to stay up close during startup. When they switched to nitro I couldn’t see or breathe and ran away while running into people

[@leevahal900]

I was standing next to the Showtime funny car in the pits when they fired it up i got a face full of nitro and backed away real quick.Now whenever i see the guys working around the FC s when lining up without masks i remember that day.

I was six years old when garlits ran the first successful rear engine top fuel dragster. Now a rear engine dragster is a nostalgic piece. My God I feel old. Oh well, thanks for sharing.

I was 16 when wrinkle wall slicks came on the scene, I feel ya. :D

[@jonamoe878]

How is a rear engine dragster a nostalgic piece when it’s been that way since Garlits in 71? Front end short wheel base slingshots are nostalgic.

[@Maxumized]

Wait, what? Do they not run them anymore? I’m lost

[@SilentJayBird]

Hey... They're nostalgic for that guy. Whatever works. :)

As of right now there is no class for this car. But we hope to have one in the future. We now run in pro comp that has 5.90 break out I just started a group on Facebook under, Nostalgia Top fuel rear engine dragster. Please join us there.

Don or crew. Alcohol to nitro question. What size line are you using to feed the methanol into the hat? AND are you using a nozzle to distribute it inside the blower or just the hose size?

Your right is hard to straighten up. But at 79 I'm still heading to the March meet to burn some nitro. If you check out my KZbin videos you will see I just rebuilt my T bucket with no help.

That's correct. We start on gas and then alcohol to heat the motor and then nitro. It's easier on parts and we are very low budget
