Couldn't of explained it better😂 i grew up near Cordova il. Where they hold the world series of drag racing and you can literally stand 10-15 feet from the starting line nothing can explaine the feeling you get standing that close to top fuel
I used to work at pbir here in Florida. Used to start or work the burnout box for all the nhra top fuel rails and funny cars when they would come test in the off season. The experience and feeling never got old.
+Cody King If you are standing there..its actually kinda freaky . I have been to Brainerd Nationals many times, and its amazing. It feels like a bomb exploding when they blurp the throttle.
Yeah, above 7,000hp levels of power. These engines at full tilt put out over 155 decibels of sound pressure that punches you square in the chest.. You don't hear these beasts with your ears, you hear them with your bones.
i love how everyone is gathered around like oooooh that's cool , then he blips the throttle and suddenly Depend Incontinence pants have another 50 new customers 😂😂
I like how you can tell exactly who is on the crew, and who is just a spectator at 1:28 when the driver actually hits the gas... Entire crowd almost jumps out of their skin, but none of the crew even flinch. Look at the woman in the black shirt sitting in the background in the bus door on the right. Doesn't even bat an eye! Edit: Thats the most I've replayed a video in recent memory. Totally worth it to keep looping it and watch a different person each time, entertaining stuff! Everyone jumped, but the reactions afterwards are the best. Some people were giggling like kids on Christmas with what they just experienced, some almost look like they can't comprehend what just happened, others are looking around like they are expecting some authority figure to shut it down, and some are just looking for any possible way to get themselves away from the dragster.
For those of you who have never been to one of these races before It is truly an earth shaking experience! As awesome as this vid is you have to go to one of these at least once. Even in the stands a hundred feet away these rockets wreck your senses at the hit of the throttle. First time I went to one of these my beer vibrated off the bleacher!!! for those of you who know db numbers these cars put out about 155 to 160db!!!! That's louder than a fighter jet taking off standing 75 feet away!!!
90% just hear "noise" 9% hear noise and talk about pollution 1% really feels this unreal power of that engine and knows what it's able to do. compared to a daily driven car, ehh sorry, you can't compare them... i saw soda-bottles "exploding" when they pass, the air gets thin when they inhale and the earth starts shaking... you got to luv it... i do... SO MUCH INSTANT POWER
Throttle whacks to set the clutch are an experience that are not to be believed unless witnessed live and up close. This video does a good job showing just that !!! After I met my wife-to-be in 1988, I took her to Gainesville for the Gatornationals. We were able to stand about 10-12 feet away from a TF performing the warm-up and driveline check, and she didn't cover her ears or even flinch when they blipped the throttle. I thought right then: "This is the girl for me !!!"
You can feel the power just watching this video. It shakes the tri-pod, the windows on the truck vibrate, the tarp flaps, and the people flinch in unity! You can practically see the shockwave shoot outward through all these objects. It’s like dropping a bomb.
This never gets old! Im supposed to sleep for work in the morning but nope! I'm sitting here watching people jump lol Man nothing beats a nitro warm up
RCDude haha try me, I’ve been drag racing all my life bud, you dumbasses can’t compare a top fuel machine to a fucking bike haha that’s like trying to compare a crop duster to a fighter jet, and yes I do know what I’m talking about, if you have questions ask me, I’ll answer them
One of the best vids on here to show peoples reactions to the mind blowing power. You can hear these cars but people don't realize you can also feel the sound. The smell is a whole other animal. I got choked out in Dallas a few years back. The breeze was wafting the nitro it down the alley, hence Nitro Alley, towards me while 4 of them were warming up. I tried to hold my breath and should have known better. Took a gasp of air and yeah, you probably know the rest. It's officially in my blood now and I love it!!!
I miss this so much. 49 now. My dad took me to the NHRA races all the time when I was a kid. Englishtown NJ. I met so many drivers and I got their autographs. Dan Pastarini, Don Garlits, Bob Glidden, John Force, Gary Ormsby to name a few. Being in the pits though like these people are when these things fire up is a whole new life experience you will never forget lol. Eyes burn from the fumes, your ears are gone 🤣 and when that engine revs like that, the little burst they do. It feels like the ground beneath you disappears.
This footage is exceptional. I love the shockwave and the immediate response from the spectators. This machine is absolutely astounding. I have been to 12 nascar races and the first 3 or 4 full speed laps with all the cars running together is deafening but they don't compare to the sound this monster creates.
And that's just at idol and a couple of blips. Now Imagine how loud it is under load at wide open throttle. Just a peek and food for thought in case your wondering how brutal these things really are.
MarcusMoller Apparently you do not understand 'share'. If you share this page, it will only be shared to 'friends' of the original poster of the page. It will not be shared among your 'friends'.
To anyone who hasn't seen it in person, it's an experience like no other! There's no audio/video on earth that can do it justice. I'd say the closest comparison would be like throwing sticks of TNT 10 feet in front of you and having it go off. (disclaimer: do not do that)
I had the same reaction the first time I went to the U.S. Nationals with my dad. I was sitting in Terry McMillans pit. And a funny car across from us started up that made me jump.
I tried standing 50 meters behind one of these when they throttled the engine, without wearing ear protection (fucking stupid when i think back). Holy shit, i thought i was going deaf for a second, it just got louder and louder and suddenly something popped and all sounds turned to static/noise/wind. I was lucky that i made it out with only a small hearing loss and a head ache. I'm fine now though, so don't worry about me. Take this as a warning, if you are going to one of these events; wear ear protection.
+Rasmus Bottolfsen one of the best feelings in life is taking my friends to a niteo event and sitting maybe 30m from the start line kinda behind it and not giving them any idea whats coming so for the first run i dont wear plugs. some of the faces that i get are amazing

Sonic booms! Just LOVE how brutal top fuel is! People have no clue JUST how loud these things are and just how much power is made!! Space shuttle has nothing on top fuel cars!
+JoeIsCrazyWillman Where that cam was is about as close as I like to get. I love the 1st time macho dudes who get close. They then choke on the fumes and shit themselves on the blips.
Top fuel is not louder than a space shuttle launch, not even close. A dragster at full throttle is 150dB, which is enough to cause pain and permanent hearing loss. When space shuttles launched, the pad saw sound levels of 215dB, which would have been lethal to anyone besides the astronauts protected inside the crew cabin.
Ben Snyder i did to , i love it , i been there (well in the USA) , and as "rob a" said , you get two of these on a good 300mph pass and you feel it push in on your chest!
For the people that have never experienced NHRA top fuel please go you can feel the power of these things All over your body the shrill sound and feelings all over your body just amazing
Amazing. I hear they don’t really do this anymore, except one team. I need to go to an NHRA event before the last crew stops doing it. I was at a top fuel race when I was probably 12 or 13, but didn’t walk around in the pits. Even in the stands, these things buzz your whole body like you’re being shocked, and the concussion makes your face itch all over, it’s truly a unique experience.
man if you ever get the chance, you have to see this live.. its is the most insane shit you will ever see & feel.. the feeling when they blip the throttle, like some one punching you in the chest..
See the guy in the black singlet and black pants covered in cartoons, I'm so fucking tough the world owes me a favor, REV fuck!! what was that, maybe my Harley isn't that great after all. LOL
I love seeing 'nitro virgins' reactions to a throttle tap. Been going to the drags since 1974 at Fremont Raceway in California. How I miss those Funny Car 'dry hops', bleach, and fire burnouts!! Back then the drivers used to try and outdo each other with the length of their burnouts. Once saw John Force do a full quarter mile burnout at Seattle International Raceway (SIR) in the 80's. It was there that i got to witness one of the first 300 MPH passes too.
Been there for sure many times. First time was shocking, even the idling alone, but you never quite get used to that liquid dynamite(nitro methane) explosion, and the driver(or mechanic) barely touches the throttle here. When 2 Top Fuelers "floor it" at take off, it's literally an earthquake. The reading's over 2 on the Richter scale, official readings measured at an NHRA event... This is truly wild stuff live.
This video doesn’t do any justice. I highly encourage anyone who hasn’t been to a top fuel event to go!!! It’s earth shattering kidney crushing horsepower. Total insanity. Truly an experience you will never forget
If you have never heard and felt one of these I'll give you a tip. Watch the window on the truck...He he he!! gives me chills just watching it. Watch the flags my Nitro friends, Watch the flags.
I remember when I was first time in Alastaro circuit, and two top fuel dragsters left at the same time. The slight earthquake in the spectators point was insane feeling.
Nothing against late models. I agree they sound good, but this is in a whole different level from those. One cylinder of these cars produces somewhere around 1300hp. There's 8 cylinders. That is around double the entire output of late model engines.
They can also do that to verify clutch and management system works as it should when driver slams the throttle wide open. It can be verified from datalogging after the warmup.
@@juggis you'd have to run the full program. Not what's happening here. The Butterflies are manually cracked open on the Injector Hat not the pedal. Management system is started by Wide open throttle and button being depressed under pedal.
look immediately after the second whack.. the air consumption of the compressor is so strong that even the shirts on the white tent gets to move into the direction of the dragster
![YoungBoy Never Broke Again - Sneaking [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/1ILUps2zDFU/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm just happy to find one where the microphone didn't shit itself.
Standing at the starting line when one of these launches will knock the soul out of you for about 3 seconds. Its fantastic.
Couldn't of explained it better😂 i grew up near Cordova il. Where they hold the world series of drag racing and you can literally stand 10-15 feet from the starting line nothing can explaine the feeling you get standing that close to top fuel
Time just stops until they cross that line.
It will nick the soul out of you until the race is over😂

That is utterly insane power. Just wow. Barely blipping the throttle, and it's like a fucking bomb going off. That is amazing.

+Brandon Ryan Couldn't have put it better, the shockwaves off these things are monstrous.
Absolutely right, it is a real punch in the chest, an experience like no other!
Which is what dragracing is really - a controlled explosion..
everyone's like "this is cool" then after the throttle wack they turn "oh hell no"
Noah Stuart lmfao
Noah Stuart they werent ready
Brenton Webb After the throttle hits they scattered. I’m guessing to find a restroom!! 😂
Rookies
Shockwave!!! 😆
I feel bad for those who have never been thru this experience in person
whenever anyone tries to tell me about drag racing all I have to say is : I grew up in Pomona, I lived the NHRA lol
I did 3 hours ago
I tell my best friends this every year!
i would go to one but i swear where i live in canada there isn’t a track for couple hundred km
I went to Texas Motorplex last month... Seen a lot a drag racing in Europe, can't compare it to these monsters. Love em.
Gasoline is for washing. Alcohol is for drinking. Nitro is for racing. Yeah baby.

The "jump" is involuntary. It rattles your eyeballs causing your vision to blur and vibrates your guts causing involuntary muscle contraction.

You must experience this in Your life for sure!,

For me it's the fact the tent gets sucked inwards because of how much air the engine wants. That's so crazy.
This never gets old! Im supposed to sleep for work in the morning but nope! I'm sitting here watching people jump lol Man nothing beats a nitro warm up
eeeeeh probably a side by side full pass
Haha, same
wow that mom was prepared, i was expecting her to start passing out more ear muffs to random bystanders
+Ian Germaine First thing I noticed too, well done her for looking out for her kids hearing.
PiDsMedia you can tell when they open the fuel pumps all the way
Ian G Yes she was! But she'd walked off when the throttle blip happens! Wanted to see the kids reaction lol!
Best nitro warm-up video out there
These things will turn the hells angels into girl scouts real quick lol

Puts a smile on my face every time!
Lol...too funny! I can always tell when they're about to tap the throttle because you can hear when they open the fuel pumps all the way
Best warm up I've seen on vid, you're eyes sting and you're ears are in pain - its insane!!!
Haha thx! Please share it! :)
I love this all the geto stereos that think there thumping is cool this is cool
That throttle response is incredible!!!!
This is by far the best fan reaction to a Top Fuel warm up, keep the videos coming. Thanks!!
Priceless! Sends chills down my body every time.
the dragster was just like, "back off or ill burst your eardrums."

For those mathematically challenged ....... that's 40,000 horses.

I love the smell of Nitro in the morning.......... It smells like .................. Victory....
I've never been there but I'm saving to come to your country to get some flavour
Got a blast directly in the eyes once as a child when Don Prudhomme's car was fired for a warm up in Tulsa Oklahoma. 😵
To anyone who hasn't seen it in person, it's an experience like no other! There's no audio/video on earth that can do it justice. I'd say the closest comparison would be like throwing sticks of TNT 10 feet in front of you and having it go off. (disclaimer: do not do that)
Whenever you see the two S&M guys grabbing on to the back of the wing, shit's about to get real.

This is one of my favorite videos on YT...!!!! That bald headed dude in foreground at 1:25..lol
Brings tears to my eyes ;)
its amazing that those engines are only i think 500 ci. , with a huge supercharger and nitro and produce 10k hp. amazing
I’ve been behind one of those mighty beasts in the start line and felt the ground shake! Awesome!

The last 2 seconds of this clip is the baddest sound on the planet.
These are the best 'blips' I have seen. Great job.
I remember when my son stood near one as a kid.....Surprize!
Start watching at 1:20 for the comedy moment.
OneTomGoodall thank you!
Looked like a school of fish getting spooked.
The burnout is unreal. The ground actually shakes like an earthquake. The sound is so loud that it can't be imagined.
And those are usually done with a throttle stop...
1:26
This is Dragster Language for "DON'T FUCK WITH ME!"
Haha! I've been there - the 1st and last time you stand next to a top fueller running up without protecting your ears & nose!!
First time I went to SantaPod they got me just like this lol. Nearly fell to the ground when I felt that boom!
1:27 - hahahahahah I watched it over and over!
Ben Snyder i did to , i love it , i been there (well in the USA) , and as "rob a" said , you get two of these on a good 300mph pass and you feel it push in on your chest!
Fuck electric cars. Nothing on earth will ever replace this experience.
I kept replaying that part and laughed my butt off!LOL!! There is one dude smoken a cig, he is just cool as shit!
I remember my first top fuel throttle whack!! 😂 🤣🤣👍👍
Love it!! Hope to se you guys and girls next year
Its really impressive how much air that engine consume. Look at the tent wall and notice how it wants to be sucked into the blower
priceless when he wacked it...everyone jumped
After the rev they was like "oh hell naw"
Holy, I come watch this vid every once in a while. This is the first time I noticed the side window of that semi truck ready to bust. Lol
For the people that have never experienced NHRA top fuel please go you can feel the power of these things All over your body the shrill sound and feelings all over your body just amazing
Just put one finger in your ear say “MAWP. MAWP. MAWP.”

One of the best I've seen. Sure miss it.
'lll be there.u won't regret it. It's insane.
That's just at gentle tickover, just wait until two of them hit the throttle on the start line, then you know what "loud" really means.
See the guy in the black singlet and black pants covered in cartoons, I'm so fucking tough the world owes me a favor, REV fuck!! what was that, maybe my Harley isn't that great after all. LOL
LOL I picked that up to.
His GF digs it, he leaves her there to go have a good cry.
HaHaHa, yup. He pisses his boots full and his Crackerjack tats started to melt,,his rug loved it. She can stay.

Funny eh. Something that brings us all down no matter how tough you think you are.
normalsalaryman There's always the possibility that she's actually deaf.
No amount of getting ready can prepare you for how loud these things are

Got to be there to feel the shockwave hit you along with the roar of a 10,000+ hp supercharged nitro guzzling hemi to believe it.

Notice the lady in the trailer,she never moved a inch...shes enjoying the first timers reaction
Hey Jhoni
Sharp!
The lady in the trailer is Anitas and Tommi's daughter Hanna. She have seen hundreds of Top Fuel warmups through the years. :-)
The best part is watching the people with hearing protection still jumping out if their skin
There is still a shock wave haha
That heavenly sound 👍
I hear those blips are when the driver is seating the clutch. Can anybody verify that?
They can also do that to verify clutch and management system works as it should when driver slams the throttle wide open. It can be verified from datalogging after the warmup.
@@juggis you'd have to run the full program. Not what's happening here.
The Butterflies are manually cracked open on the Injector Hat not the pedal.
Management system is started by Wide open throttle and button being depressed under pedal.
look immediately after the second whack.. the air consumption of the compressor is so strong that even the shirts on the white tent gets to move into the direction of the dragster
Even the tough guy with long hair jumped like a pink daisy when he blipped the throttle
js92css ..his girlfriend loved it
Guess I need to go to one of these!
Great video of crowd, can't even see the dragster
Clears the rope rats quite well. My son called me from 4 wide in Charlotte the first race they had.
