Title: Nitro 2012
Post by: DLR Pyro on March 01, 2012, 07:47:03 PM

Gearheads should appreciate this. I found this video taken last weekend at Bakersfield in prep for the March meet this weekend.  Bummer I have to work or I'd be there.

Well edited with great sound to capture the cackle and power of a nitro burning engine.  Reminds me of my younger days when I crewed on a top fuel team and racers raced for the love of the sport rather than for the $$$.

Love the smell of nitro and the rancid smell of burning rubber! We used to refer to it as sweet and sour. Could almost smell it in that vid! Thanks.

Another dose of nitro goodness from last week's March meet. 
This time the warm-ups...
