The sweetest sound in motor racing, ever.

Oh hells yes. Dat cackle, tis why I cut my first stock muffler off over 20 years back. Just for a taste of the same sort of badassery.

The transition is so amazing. Honestly get chills every time I hear it

I always love it when they go from high idling engine on alcohol to fire spitting and earthshaking and eardrum splitting monster on nitro

THAT is one of the reasons I'm a drag race fan

Wheel chock and fire suit are the best. Old school baby,

I think these old 392s crackle better than the 426s

Agreed Probably the setup but seems like there's Just a different sound to them

That first blast of nitromethane at around the 1:30 mark is one the coolest sounds on earth. The first time I heard a change-over was October, 1981 at Orange County International Raceway and I HAVE BEEN HOOKED EVER SINCE. Thanks and Semper Fi!

@@chrisnizer1885 Yes it is sad that it's gone. Really the birth place of Drag Racing Southern California and there's really no place to go race.

Lol yeah but spelled wrong or not we knew exactly what you're talking about! 😉

Good to see Joe in this video, I was there when they fired this old hot rod up!

Beautiful Dragster

Gasoline is for washing parts, alcohol is for drinking, nitromethane ........

Have u noticed? There's always an old school grey haired dude helping out with these old motors. Seems like there a dying breed, nobody knows these old motors anymore. Vintage stuff

That was a let down. My mildly built 350 sounds just like it

If an engine built for street use sounds like a cacophony of shotguns, as cool as that is there's probably something wrong with it. Even with open headers an engine running on pump gas will not crackle as hard as this.
