sprint car start up/ohio

Description steve Jenkins from ohio starting his 410 outlaw sprint car after installing new engine

[@richrinehart1083]

A sprint car has a very distinct sound. The throttle response is instantaneous. I love how an alcohol motor "hunts" at an idle. Nothing even compares. The smell of Methanol burning is oh so sweet.

[@richrinehart1083]

That's at least $40,000 worth of bad ass... the lightened engines that all the outlaw teams run are over $50,000 and they got 3 or 4 in the trailer. The run them a scheduled number of nights/laps and pull out one bullet, send if off to be gone through and freshened up and just install another.

Love Sprint Cars! nothing else compares ❤️

Nothing beats the sound of a v8 reving out quick

[@cj8172]

Very cool, wish he'd taken it for a quick spin down the road and back

[@rednecklife-uu3je]

That thing have a few valves hanging?

[@whitepaw54]

I'll walk around in my driving suit while giving it the beans

[@JC-cc7zu]

Funny shit, must be his first car, gotta get all dressed up to hear it run.

[@AlienMobster06]

it's a fire suit and very smart of him to wear it in fact he should be in full gear when inside of it while it's running.

It’s called valve overlap!

[@thekentuckyslurpcrew1242]

Start up? It was already running.

leaning out

Light harmonic balancer if any cams are almost square lol they sound crazy wonderful "

[@JustinMorrisV82]

Depends how it's setup. Normally sprintcars don't have a balancer

[@BM-xc9sq]

@@JustinMorrisV82 Or a flywheel or clutch to store any energy

[@toyo094]

Run the valves again.

[@blainetellis9656]

Ok first of all have any of you ever heard a sprint car it pops because he’s running alcohol

[@nickprehna9404]

I used to go to sprint car races live and they were bloody loud as hell.

[@seanhenderson8693]

thats running like a box of poo! sounds like it has an exhaust valve or valves hanging open

[@jerrybrothekid]

I don't think it has any valves hanging up. ... Perhaps a little fine tuning of the injectors, but, not a valve. ... It revs too clean. ... Idle circuits are pretty much non existent on these types of injectors, with fuel management doing the job instead of computers. ... Just my observation. ... Semper Fi

[@aidenmagnuson2609]

jerrybrothekid you also gotta remember it’s running on alcohol

[@jerrybrothekid]

@@aidenmagnuson2609 Yes, thank you, I do understand the fuel. ... I have been building and tuning racing engines, running just about everything from Alcohol to Nitro Methane, and, everything in between., for MANY years. ... While alcohol does run much cooler, the injector tuning is more critical, and, often, idle characteristics suffer. ... These minor issues can, and are resolved with fuel curve management. ... Just my experience talking, pay it no attention. ... Have a Great Day ... Semper Fi
