From Ruby to top fuel seems like the natural progression.
Lol- pretty sure I see your humor there, my guy. Normally you'd get seat time in an alcohol car before nitro; those are both pretty big steps, yes?
Several drivers, former, and current have went straight to Top Fuel after making minimal runs in slower cars.
When Travis gets humbled you know it’s no joke.
Go straight into top fuel with no drag racing experience is what you call jumping into the deep end of the pool.
Travis did great, and would be fantastic for NHRA. He would bring alot of new fans to drag racing.
Actually he has dragged race once, drove Cleetus car Ruby once
and that being his first time hitting blocks
I was thinking about that time with Ruby.
Was thinking didn’t he run ruby a couple of times.
TF is on another level.. Shit, even top alcohol class dragsters are!!!!
Taking a rip down the track in Ruby compared to making a pass in a TF Dragster is like comparing grapes to watermelons, they are both fruit and grown on a vine but that’s about it
First time I have ever seen Travis nervous before doing anything!😅👍
This is the shot in the vein that the NHRA needs . If he was to run even just a few events , it would get alot new fans out to the track
& yeah could u even imagine it with Cletus McFarland & TRAVIS next 2 each other in top fuel dragster @ any N.H.R.A EVENT
NHRA needs a lot more than TP. They need an injection of new, younger leadership with greater vision.
Simply put, this is the measure of the man we all know as TP. When you see someone who can turn their hand to any motorsport yet still thinks of themselves as one of the team (see him help push the car to the start line) then you know you are looking at a legend. Keep it up mate. Kia Kaha from New Zealand.
Dude had never SEEN a TF car run or start in person???? WTF Travis IS crazy!!!!!! TF is 2nd to none in all of motorsports. Its a body shaking experience! Next level!
Lucky he had Scotty helping him, he's always been a great guy, always helped me at the track and in work, parts, you name it, good fella, he likes to help folks, he really earned his spot 👍, two good fellas hangin out
For Travis to be somewhat speechless at times goes to show how much knowledge, experience and respect is needed for these machines.
He would bring a ton of fans. The NHRA needs Travis. Such a likeable guy.
i hope you guys get cleetus to do this i know he drag races but i would love to see him run a top fuel car !
I want to see all the "Behind the Scene" footage! We all know that there was a lot more preparation for Travis than shown her. Love his enthusiasm and can't wait for more 👍.
I'll tell you that there was no more preparation than you saw in the video. He came, got a run down and then hit the gas. Man, is a badass. 🤘
@@joemeiner5050 Well that's badass for sure. I've driven some pretty spicy car's in my life and if give the same opportunity with no practice pretty sure my answer would be " No Thank you, I'm good 👍" .
Get well soon Scott Palmer 💪🏼
This just proves that you never stop learning knowledge is power much love from New Zealand
Scott Palmer is one of the nicest people I have ever met and I hope he has a speedy recovery
Two of my life long idols, Tony Stewart and Travis Pastrana.
Travis has the Raw talent that Tony Stewart referred to on a Dirty Mo Media podcast. Nice to hear Tony was giving Travis advice👍
Need to get cleetus into a top fuel car
Hell Yeah Brother
Trav I can’t wait to see a 199 top fuel on the the line buddy. You once again are pushing the limits and living your best life stay safe and healthy and blessed my guy much love from Ohio 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤
When you watch Clay Milliken's vid on explaining how to drive a top fuel machine, indeed there's a heck of a lot to it. If you've ever been next to one of these monsters, it's an incredible sensory experience- and that's just being near one, not driving one. Fantastic job by one of the most talented pro drivers in the industry. Always fun to watch TP199.
Putting someone in a top fuel dragster who has never even seen one started is cray zeee, but if anyone could pull it off it would be Travis I reckon. 🤘🏻
Travis can literally drive anything!
It's so much fun to watch the reaction of people after having strapped themselves into an 11000 hp top fuel dragster. Especially those who have driven all different kinds of fast and exciting cars and motorcycles. Thanks to Tony Stewart and Scott Palmer for making this possible and to Alex Laughlin for sharing the adventure with us.
I've never seen him affraid of anything like that B4... that's a good thing
You did a great job TP Scott is a stand up guy I met him in Brainerd years back he drove the truck tuned the car and worked on it and was still having fun and made time for the fans my hat is off to both of you have a great day be safe.
travis is awsome, i got to meet him a few times love his energy
TP always trying new things. Been a fan since 199 was on a 125.
Thanks for posting
I remember seeing him on an 80. Crazy how far hes come.
@@RubbishFPS how time flies huh?
We all should shout out cleetus for getting Travis into drag racing
I have always felt that Top Fuel Drag is another level...
Travis's eyes when they fired it up in the pits screamed holy shit....
This guy is always so excited about life!! His intensity and positivity would be great addition to the Nhra community!
While older , Ken and Travis were my idols because they were me doing crazy stuff .
Lord, please keep this one safe.
Only Travis can do something like this!!! I can not wait to see him run it out someday..
OH that would be SO freaking AWESOME to get Travis in there!!!!
Get him back ASAP! Get him licensed. Travis is awesome and he would bring a lot of people back to a dying sport.
Somebody get that guy a ride!!!
Everything about this sport is absolutely insane
He could help revive the NHRA for some younger people. Just my opinion. Keep Drag Racing alive!!!
they got Tony to catch the bug they need more of these types in Pro drag racing in all the pro classes
Hell ya Travis keep pushing for the cool unknowns 🤘🏁🏁🤘
Amazing video!
Only Travis could have done this the mans a legend
I read the thumbnail and immediately thought, "Ofc he did🙄🤣"
There is only one man who should be teaching Travis. That man is John Force.
When Travis is sweating bullets you know its full on. Dudes like a freakin Honey Badger!!!
Just beating himself up for things out of his control 😂 what a guy
The nitro man makes a pass how awesome it must be to be him much love is obvious 😍
This is so cool to see
These guys knew he was gonna blow a motor, but the humility Pastrana showed negates it all
Well . . .be really awesome to see him at the big go 🔥🔥🔥🔥
this man literally is #Legend
If you think he doesn't have the balls for it, you never saw him break the Mt. Washington climb to the clouds record. THAT was insane!
travis is the man.
Make it happen. Top Fuel is absolutely f#@king incredible.
That reverse in the burnout box had to be embarrassing as hell for him.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing, trying to figure it all out at once then making a mistake I bet he was pretty irritated
Travis is legendary, great guy
So is Scott Palmer, the only TF racer I know that's crazy enough to hand the keys to an 11,000hp nitro car to someone who's never been down a drag strip. But that's Scott for ya. Hope you're feeling better, buddy (Scott was the victim of a recent horrific crash). Good job; Travis. That had to be an absolute blast.
Be cool to see him racing one!
Yeah.. Pastrana has gone low 8's at Bradenton in Ruby, but I realize you may not have been one of the one *MILLION* people to see that video.. you are forgiven.
Just when you think he is chilling out, he sits down in a top fuel car to drive over 300 miles an hour in under 4 seconds 😆😆😆🤣🤣
A natural. Wait and see.
I’m surprised Cleetus hasn’t had a Top Fuel try yet
That’s not like drag racing a car lol, I have an 8 sec el Camino and it’s a blast but top fuel… that’s another game in another world of racing. Congrats to Travis for the passes, I couldn’t imagine feeling what 5 seconds faster in 320 feet shorter feels like INSANE
Welcome to the REAL nitro circus!
He has probably done much more than running in the corvette. They just haven’t shown to make it more dramatic and entertaining
Let's go!
Travis ran Cleetus Mcfarlands Ruby Corvette in 1/4 mile. I'm sure Travis will pin it give him a few more test sessions and when he is not so nervous.
Some one should give cleetus a run in one of these machines
Seems like a humble guy. Some rookies would stuff the car into the wall.
Travis is the only guy who I can relate to when being in ya happy place he definitely knows.🙌 I'd dream to do a full pull in a top fueler side by side with #TP
He caught the bug in Ruby :)
I honestly think Travis would have had much more success if he did this quietly and without so many people breathing down his throat.
He had big people all over him, cameras all over him, the NHRA all over him, so he had to worry about everything else besides learning how to drive the car.
I honestly think if he didn’t have all of the added pressure, he would have made a hit to 330’ or maybe half track. They wouldn’t have let him go past half track regardless due to his drag racing resume, but you cannot put too much pressure on any nitro student regardless of their background.
I want to see him get his top fuel license
awesome!!
If they let you back in there. You did it right.
Very cool…👍👍
I want to see Travis in a dirt sprint car.
First time seeing a top fuel run, but hes behind the wheel 😂
Palmer is a legend, Pastrana also legend Alex drama queen
Lol
I dont understand what happened at the end. The engine blow from throttling twice? He didnt hit the wall. Didn't stall it at the line. It didnt go boom. Thats a good day in drag racing.
If the g-forces don't pull his shoulder out. 😄
Don't be so hard on yourself Travis you'll get it
i seen him drag race on cleetus mcfarlands channel
Talk to Clay
Travis of X Games fame? How about ational Mx Champion or East region Sx fame?
Bring It!
next video will be Travis Pastrana jumps a top fuel car 200ft over a river!
Idk how I feel about this one. TP seems more like a lateral G-Force kinda guy. Got me a little scared for him. 😬
didn't blow up the reverser? leading a charmed life...
need to race tony stewert now...
Again , Again full pull please ! REACTION WIN THE NITRO BUG BITE'S 😲
How to train a fire beathing
dragon slayer part 1
I blame cleetus for letting him drive ruby
Those things scare me.
he drove ruby thats gotta count
Just here for the Ruby comments lol
Almost killed everyone in reverse
He has driven a drag car .. Ruby
Pro Stock would be better to start. Even that is a ball buster.
First drag race is in a Top Fuel car? That'd be like losing your virginity to India Summer.
I watched Travis do a pass with cleetus my ass he's never dragged
