- Front row view of Scott Palmer blasting the crowd at day three of the NHRA 2019 Magic Dry Arizona Nationals at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Chandler, Arizona.
Years ago, a friend drug me out to one of these events. I had never been, and I got to experience a throttle whack up close and personal. It felt like an elephant kicked me in the chest. The amount of power is just mind boggling. The friend I went with has since passed away, and I refuse to go to another one because I want to forever remember the magic of that day, one of the last times I got to spend time with my buddy.
Im sorry for your loss
Prayers sent to u 🙏
You sound like a good dude
Go again in his memory. I promise it'll be worth it ! Take a new friend and enjoy seeing him have the joy you felt your first time
Go again because your friend is alway with you and will feel him there with you ….
100% go again! It wouldn't mean you're a bad friend but a good friend because he will be there with you enjoying it
You gotta experience this in person. It’s an explosion when they blip it, it literally moves you.
Yeah it kicks ass! Everybody out there is missing out if they have never been to the drag races
Been to many NHRA events in my lifetime. My favorite joy at these races is seeing “first timers” at a top fuel event,
I mean , the look on their faces seeing/feeling these cars for the first time is priceless!
Every part of your body gets a shockwave sent through it
The feeling of top fuel is indescribable. You have to be there
Pretty sure it’d change the “How dare you” crowd’s perspective
Love the way the sound changes when the nitro hits the cylinders!!!!!!
I still can't understand how the hell they can stand there.They can probably cut onions at home and make the onions cry
They are.............VACCINATED.....!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What?
@@frederiquerijsdijk theyre already deaf
Say again??
@@bmd1825 Huh???
🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪🤪
Man tears streaming down my face, as memories of Nitro throttle blips come back to mind.
Oh and that sweet smeell!!! Man.. ❤
those tears are from having your eyeballs in nitro fumes
Cannot get enough of this sound.
I can when i cant hear anymore
Hell yeah...love the sound of dragsters and funny cars! Nothing better than that
Even better when you feel the ground shaking it feels like it's sinking but thats just the sound of an engine breathing as good as it possibly can
I want this as my alarm clock sound
I added it,to mine. Several ringtones,of TF.
You came to the right person go to summit racing equipment
But like just as loud as real life😂
Dude, best idea ever!
Alarm for work
Doorbell
Oven done cooking
Favorite TV show on
LEAST favorite TV show on
....blew the bathroom up......cuz the bar had wing night yesterday
Lmao
Would be epic.
Id have to have it be playing through some proper 8-10k person live venue sound system each time though.
Try and replicate the actual feeling.
The most spoken word by a top fuel crew........WHAT!
Huh!?
@@billgatesleavingyamomshous8177 lol
Whatttttt.....!!!!?????
Literally 0 hearing protection
Aye!!??
If you haven't been near a fueler that close U haven't lived.
the wack on camera doesnt do real life justice. oh my goodness the power. its like a fucking earth quake. its so loud and has such a presence
Oh hell yeah...so much better being there in person. Its such a rush. Love this kind of power
Ain't nothing like the crackle of nitro.
maybe from a v12 allison is kindda better
It’s been a few years since I’ve been to the races but I can still perfectly imagine this smell and the chest vibrations when the fuel cars make their passes.
Glad this could bring you back!
Scotty Palmer never leaves the crowd dissapointed!!!!!!
Seeing this in person is scary as hell.
There’s nothing like it.
Seeing people naturally “hit the deck” when that happens, it’s a natural body reflex.
@@alexmoreland7938👍🇦🇺
They're Satanic.
As Zack May said.
This would be a killer alarm clock sound.
Definitely be out of bed even at -10°c
That little tap of the throttle would take a regular cars gas tank from full to damn near empty
Most impressive sound! Such power in the whack.
A car ferry has roughly 12000 HP, crazy to think some of these engines can produce the same power
Yeah but a car ferry will never go 338 mph
@@roberttempleton8112 and a drag racer will never drive through the sea
@@shughy1 tru dat
These things are so responsive it’s unreal
It can’t be just the ears at risk. Years of standing next to this must shake your whole body. Every cell must get shocked. What’s the long term effect of that? I know. Who cares? It’s Top Fuel. What else is there to know? 🤣😎
What else is there to know? let's see lol.....
The best place to start if you want to know more about these incredibly amazing machines would be to watch this video. It's a little dated but gets the point across.

Ever notice how the sound of a pro stock or a Nascar engine will bring a grin to the faces of everyone there, no matter race, gender or religion for a moment everyone is just a person with a smile.
Just watching this video is making my eyes water
Remember this when I went to US 30 Dragstrip in Schereville,Indiana
My eyes were watering just watching this
The only thing that's missing is a bald eagle perched on the rear wing and "Real American" by Rick Derringer playing in the background.
0:05 is when most of the spectators scatter like bugs.
Bugs included.....
Pure american spirit. Loud, mighty looking but unable to do anything but go in a straight line.
VERY, VERY QUICKLY !
@@davidgreen9663 that's for sure.
Thats what its about you goof😄
@@jasonpeck2646 sure, but where is the pilot's talent, endurance of men and mechanics, fast corners, fast re-accelaration, heavy beaking ? All that makes racing worth watching...Even with your IndyCar series, you americans only trip on straight lines or ovals.
@@maxalfredjoelasemoule3993 we americans like spectator sports. In our racing series, you can see the whole track and see all the action at once rather than every minute and a half.
Need a petition to bring back the whack.
These guys are going to regret not protecting their ears.
oh yeah
😂
-me staring at the video- why am I tearing up? im not even there. I can even feel the nitro through the screen lol
For about a week after I went to the 2019 Virginia NHRA Nationals in Dinwiddie, I was having what they call ‘Phantom Smells’, where I was randomly smelling nitromethane fumes even though I wasn’t standing right behind an idling dragster or funny car. Also, for some reason whenever I chop some onions and my eyes start stinging and watering, I can’t help but think I should be hearing the loud rumble of a Nitro car engine along with that stinging in my eyes.
What is the purpose for the throttle blip, is the fuel also used to keep the cylinders cool.
More of a crowd pleaser than anything these days, everyone used to do it as part of the break in process. Now I thinks it's considered unnecessary wear and tear. I think Scott Palmer and one other team, were the only cars that did it that day
seating the clutch plates
They’re all definitely receiving permanent hearing damage. I can’t imagine stand right next to that thing without ear pro.
Love it!
That warm up properly cost $500 in fuel.
Not that bad, maybe $100. ~$35/gal and the team I was on would burn through 3-4 gallons on the warmup depending on what all they'd need to check.
@@pro-seriesfabrication3810 Why do they burn that much fuel on warmup? I understand energy is used to turn the supercharger and that the engine has high displacement and just capable of producing incredible horsepower but if you’re burning 3-4 gallons of fuel on warmup how much horsepower is being created and where’s it all going? Some of it to turn the wheels, turn the engine, run the high pressure fuel pumps, supercharger, and then where, heat?
@@kellyjensen9425 Nitromethane has a bunch of oxygen in it (CH3NO2) so you have to dump a ton of fuel to reach the right stoichiometric ratio, which is approximately 1.7 parts air : 1 part fuel. Gasoline engines, at idle, are usually 14-15 parts air to 1 part fuel. So couple that with a 500" v8, a blower that turns over ~540 cubic inches per revolution, and a ~2600RPM idle and it's gonna burn through some fuel anytime its running. The hat nozzles also help provide lubricity and cooling to the blower. On the blown alcohol stuff I've worked on, you were still burning around a gallon a minute at idle.
@@pro-seriesfabrication3810 Awesome reply. I didn’t know the stoichiometric ratio required that little of air versus gas. Puts things in perspective seeing blowers that large and yet the fuel still providing .58% of the oxygen. No wonder you can dump that much fuel without hydrolocking. Also explains why you burn through it so fast. If nitro contains that much 02 I would think it’s going to consume more space per gallon. I can see how people like me make that mistake, because it’s Apple versus oranges and street pump gas is nothing like nitromethane. I’m curious if you know about clearances. I’ve always heard bearings and ring manufactures will list clearances for the application you’re using (street vs blown) and usually the clearances are looser if blown. I was watching MAHLE talk about their bearings and they said to always go tight because the oil will better distribute the load. I thought you went loose for a safety margin with heat and expansion of materials. Maybe it’s apples and oranges again but do you know if clearances are tight versus loose in a top fuel engine?
@@kellyjensen9425 I’ve read that just to turn the blower requires near 1000hp.
That kind of power is scary and beautiful
God said 'let there be thunder, and the heavens shook'
No gas masks or ear plugs... you lads are crazy that shit hurts the ears and throat!!!
You learn air flow currents very quickly.
So sick!!!!!
So quick questions - 1) why do they need to do this? 2) why aren't they wearing hearing protection?
They have to completely tear down the engines after every run because the motors produce over 10,000 HP and creates immense stress on parts. Some parts only last one run others maybe 3 or 4 runs. The throttle whack itself is more of a tradition but it's done to see if the engines running properly. And as for the hearing protection comes down to personal preferences, some people simply do not care about hearing loss
@@scottannis2643 lack of hearing protection would never be allowed in some parts of the world, health & safety rules and all that.
How do they not have ear protection. My ears hurt just thinking about it the sound lol
even the cameraman jumped at the throttle whack
Gotta love that nitro
Scott does it for the fans. He's the only one left.
- Grandpa, tell me your stories as a mechanic at Top Fuel!
- What?! I can't hear you, you must speak louder!
What is the horsepower at idle? I'm guessing around 300hp?
i,ve said it before and i am gonna say it again. You-Tube needs smell-o-vision and they need it now.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lilorbie lilorbie I agree but most people that would watch this video would be crying.. lol
@@jg102xc I wish audio could be as good as in real life. Ground shaking, eyes watering, extreme noise! Nitromethane tells the human body to stay the he'll away! Sooooo bad ass
Patrick Bolin that’s for sure! Everyone that’s into Motorsports has to experience nitro, in person, at least once! There’s nothing like it!
@@patrickbolin6569 I just turn it up but alas it's not the same😭
Put some ammonia up to your nose lol
That's a classic clutch setting .
Talk about toxic fumes from Nitro exhaust gases. Far worse than gasoline. Check these guys' doctor visits in about 20 years...
I don’t know what was accomplished here, but no safety glasses or face shields in sight. What could possibly go wrong?
The throttle blip is to seat the clutches. Also to warm up. I would have atleast worn a gas mask though.
You would think that without any cooling system, the engine would just melt down!
@alex pratt never heard that before but I see it I was at tractor pull and asked why no cooling system and the guy told me that the nitro or alcohol doesnt build heat
Methanol runs about 3:1 air fuel ratio. Im guessing nitromethanol is richer than that.
@@GreatLakesLogger 1.7:1 Nitromethane has it's own Oxygen.
@@kevinandivy If you could touch the blower after a warmup like this, it would be cold and have condensation all over the case depending on atmospheric conditions. But the block and heads do get hot after a minute.
@@kevinandivy He lied to you.
Videos can’t capture it....just gotta experience it
Sounds like a Prius with no cat.
why the video so short i can watch this over a hour i gess time to put it on loop
Scary power 💥
I want my scooter to sound like that,,,,and have that much power
Was at a national race at the St. Louis raceway one time
They reported that when these cars and the nitro funny cars ran down the track
It would register on the seismograph over in the city
In real
You know I like things that go fast but when you can only go for a second and the motor blows up..not exactly what I was thinking I needed!
Oh come on, they can go for 4 seconds
the "HUH?" squad
What is the gas ⛽ consumption? ⛽🛻
Tiene catalizador de gases ese ???
¡No, el gases de escape voy directamente afuera en la air!
@@scottannis2643 jajajajajajjajajaja
God bless USA
How the hell are people standing there with no ear pro?
Insert Tim Allen grunt here.
Ive seen this irl bro better bring diving goggles
Sounds like my Kia
I guess your never late for work 🤣
I was watching for a flinch from the guy on the right but it was the person holding the camera that flinched.
Trust your Power. Hopefully.
Ain’t nothing like standing between two of those cars at the starting line when they take off.
Watching a video or on TV doesn't do it justice.
Ten thousand horses clearing their throat.
They way that motor was running makes other teams look like they warm up on straight alky..
Imagine it slips just shoots off 😅😂
I can't breath just watching this. Phew its raunchy
I've seen enough of those engines come apart, that I would not be that close w/o a flak jacket!!!
a mad hemi
I ever thought of it before, but most of those guys must be almost deaf, or very hard of hearing. That thing is a full blown assault on the ears!
Man, that was my very first thought! Totally stupid to not have layered hearing protection.
lol yes they do
and there goes ten gallons of fuel
Can someone explain that please?
After every run, crews dissemble the engine to rebuild it completely, because after 3 seconds of 10,000 horsepower, parts begin to wear and break. They have under 75 minutes to take it all apart and put everything back together with new parts. After it is all assembled they start up the car and run it to make sure everything is working properly. Throttle whacking is a dying procedure that only a few teams practice nowadays, but it is a fan favorite! This was Scott Palmer and his team performing a throttle whack in Phoenix for the 2019 season.
@@scottannis2643 I was told that's to seat the clutches?
@@MeltingRubberZ28 maybe but only a couple cars even do it. I think it's more of a crowd pleaser than anything anymore.
@@scottannis2643 gotcha. I definitely always enjoy it.
@@scottannis2643 thank you very much!😄
Greta is crying
Good.
Ear defenders man... what you're doing in short sighted.
... how the fuck those guys are not wearing gas masks is beyond me... burning nitro is just like tear gas!
I give my car a throttle whack and the sleeping cat on the hood does not even lift its head.
Are these guys all deaf? No one’s wearing hearing protection. One blip and your eardrums will probably kiss you goodbye
They just spent $200 in fuel!!
1:15 Fuck Yaaa!!!! 🤙
Throttle walk around 1:10
I wonder if the crew is already deaf or trying to be sure they will be soon?
WHAT?
@@scottannis2643 half aren’t wearing any protection and the other half is using in-ears which next to a TF, is like using paper towel for a condom....
@@toddsin8611 lol I think you missed the joke😂
@@scottannis2643 shit. 😏
Before long its gonna be mandatory to wear ear plugs and safety glasses along with filter air maskes,breathing this is very dangerous !
1:14
Im not seeing many earplugs
"What???"
Ring Ring, tinnitis is that you?
What?
Nobody uses ear protection 😳
I'm tired of NASCAR interrupting nhra.
Wait till they develop tinatus
That' guy's got his fingers in his ears. You'd have to have no concern for yourself to not have hearing protection.
He couldn't hear a dump truck driving through a nitro glycerin plant more than likely.
Yeah honestly the people that you see at these events covering their ears with their hands are idiotic. I'd rather look stupid with my ear protection now then look stupid asking someone to repeat themselves for the 10th time because I couldn't hear
Many have ear plugs, then use their hands to push them in even further.
Look at the kid to the right of the screen, kid must think its cool to not use ear protection. Everyone else covering their ears and he just stands there. Kid prob woke up the next morning with blood on his pillow, ruptured ear drums. He'll be deaf af in 10 years.
@@acog_quarks8753 lol that's why I jumped when he whacked the throttle, didn't have anything in😂
the poison these guy breathe day in day out...
Sounds like my Toyota Tacoma.
