Couldn't resist putting that through the sound system at home on full volume. Such a beautiful sound but still nothing like going to a drag meet and feeling your chest hurt as they go off the line.
@@TheCharillz23 That funny car runs on Alky! Though a hell of a lot more mild then nitro I guess it can still smell refreshing in the morning just like coffee. 😆

Most of that has to do with the idle check valve, but the barrel valve can be "tweeked" to clear some of that up when running . When you leak the system down properly, it is pretty close at first fire up.
Love the guys sweatshirt tuning..... !!!! Pirrone the legend!...... That young man with his ears covered, he's hooked! Thats the shit that changes lives and builds legends!
When I was a kid growing up in the 70’s, a guy in our neighborhood (I think his name was Billy Vance) had a fuel funny car he would sometimes work on in the driveway, and fire it up. That was just too cool! Especially for us kids!
Love seeing an old school mid to late 70's short weelbase funny car.....probably doent have a computer or thottle stop . This is what they should ALL be running in nostalgia F/C
Alcohol funny car!... LoL it's funny how the guy with the blue sweatshirt keeps touching things he's not supposed to and white hairs keeps shooshing him away like saying: "quit touching stuff"!! Blue sweatshirt knew that they were filming so he just wanted to look as if he knew what the hell he was doing in adjusting and fine tuning that blown Hemi. 😂🤣
ol buddy in the blue hoodie looks like hes fellings was hurt twice once when he said dont put your hand on there then again when the old man moved his hand away from messeing with something upfront......after that he looked to be in his fellings 🤣 we have all been there a time or 2 tho
I miss the slingshot days. These days it's whoever has the most sponsor money wins. These things were built by everyday people in their garages, and barns
Actually Mr. Whitehair doesn’t know as much as people state. He checked the timing and adjusted a return valve that works off pressure to take the lope out of the idle. Otherwise the rest is just warming up the engine and seating a clutch. Not actually that difficult. I guess if you run around and push people’s hands away you can impress some folks. Especially younger ones that are yet to learn.
For me, this kind of stuff is always cool to watch. But I couldn't tell if this is a top fuel car, or an alky. But the old man reminds me of Big Jim Dunn, and NOT because he looks like him. But if ya know Jim Dunn , you can see the similarities.
Why can't I have neighbors like this?? Love it!
I thought through same thing
Wow, my mind thought the same thing
I'd make an excuse to go out & buy milk.
I agree
Me too

Damn man I thought I was the only one that does that LOL I catch myself going through town with a hook up to my Bluetooth LOL
Chest hurt? Damn that must be terrible
I think I may be losing it, but my eyes are burning and I can smell the fumes just watching this video.🤣
No, It’s real…we lived it.👍
Ah nothing like the smell of nitro in the morning
@@TheCharillz23 That funny car runs on Alky! Though a hell of a lot more mild then nitro I guess it can still smell refreshing in the morning just like coffee. 😆
Not a nitro car by the way
Mr. White Hair, is certainly on a mission. He’s movin around that dragster and he knows exactly what to do! Even moving other hands out of the way!
Ever notice it’s white haired “Old” guys who always know how to go fast?
@@guyh.4121 wow dude
That is a funny car!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😆😆🍺🍺🍺
Not a "dragster"!
@@guyh.4121 I think it's called experience.😉

Just saw you at Lebanon Valley. Great show you guys put on on,. You guys helped clear up my hearing, shook the wax out; much appreciated.
who uses facebook anymore?
@@jonnie2bad Absolutely. It takes an intervention. Friends don't let friend's log 🪵 on to anything of that nature. 🪓 🧐 🇺🇸
Amazing piece of fine craftmanship
Where are they based?
Notice how you don't hear a surge at idle.... that's a man who can tune !
Most of that has to do with the idle check valve, but the barrel valve can be "tweeked" to clear some of that up when running . When you leak the system down properly, it is pretty close at first fire up.
@@boruff68 there it is 👍
If I was his neighbor, I’d throw a brick through my OWN window to hear this symphony 🎶🎵
Great comment😂
I love the sound of a Hemi in the morning .
Thank you for the music. That was awesome. Love the farm in the background too.
Love the guys sweatshirt tuning..... !!!! Pirrone the legend!...... That young man with his ears covered, he's hooked! Thats the shit that changes lives and builds legends!
They fire up a new motor and perfectly tuned in 3 1/2 minutes.
Not too shabby fellas.
At least until tomorrow. 5 degrees warmer tomorrow.... aww sh!t, gotta do it all over again.
My kinda neighbor.
Imagine waking up to THIS!? Maybe he will even do a few dry hops on the street! Dream neighbor!
Talk about some morning lumber!!!
Sounds awesome. There’s nothing like the sound of a Keith Black Hemi
This altered is a beast real badass hope to see it run God bless you guys
These are so bad ass you can feal the heartbeat of it's engine in your chest
I would gladly be your neighbor as long as you do this every mornin. LOL.
Yeppper nitro in the morning !!!!!

ME TOO!
Yes!
Neighbours are like: There he goes again with that #ucking car.
Wish I was his neighbor love it💪
Glad to see cars like this still around
Music to my ears,Never gets old😁
That was absolutely awesome, I help a good friend of mine with his alcohol funny car. We traveled all over the western United states, DAMN I miss it
I gotta neighbors about 3mile up the road with a smallblock fuel altered. Damn thing shakes my place from that distance. Absolutely glorious...
Beautiful seen it at island drag way what a show
The old guy knows his shit!! 👍👍👍❤️
Id start that thing every day to cheer me up... nothing like that sound u can feel in your bones.. awesome
Love seeing an old school mid to late 70's short weelbase funny car.....probably doent have a computer or thottle stop
. This is what they should ALL be running in nostalgia F/C
The Boss is looking out the living room window. She's saying you better shut that dam thing Off...Lolo 😅
Beautiful music.
Love it 👍
Such sweet music.
You never know what’s hiding in a neighborhood garage
Good job gentleman that bad boy is amazing you know I like the end the best
Man i could see that frame buckling at the kink in the upper tube rolling that engine right into your face...Scary machine, beautiful but scary.
Nothing like the crackle of a blown nitro engine!
Nothin like "whackin the throttle"
👍
ya'll looked like you were having way too much fun
I wish there was Smell a vision !!!!
GREAT VIDEO! i could watch it all week! no kidding; NOW come over and do the same setup and fire up in my drive way/
The most beautiful noise in the world!
He knows his shit!
Bet the neighbors 4 miles away love this guy
Pro, see the hand signals just before the whack? That's experience and teamwork!
That was awesome 👏
Alcohol funny car!...
LoL it's funny how the guy with the blue sweatshirt keeps touching things he's not supposed to and white hairs keeps shooshing him away like saying: "quit touching stuff"!! Blue sweatshirt knew that they were filming so he just wanted to look as if he knew what the hell he was doing in adjusting and fine tuning that blown Hemi. 😂🤣
So that's what 3,000 horsepower sounds like
It's burning my eyes
The road behind my house has no sanctioning body!!!
ol buddy in the blue hoodie looks like hes fellings was hurt twice once when he said dont put your hand on there then again when the old man moved his hand away from messeing with something upfront......after that he looked to be in his fellings 🤣 we have all been there a time or 2 tho
I wish this guy was my neighbor 👍🏻😫
Hand over my ears just watching......what a monster.
I remember the good ol days, standing next to dragsters, funny cars and altereds without ear plugs, eye watering smell of nitromethane 😂😂😂😂
💥 How Do You Not Love a…Hemi💥
Wish he was neighbor. My neighbors would really love him, and I would smile and laugh at them.
what a hell of a go cart
Very nice.
Music to my ears
Nice alarm clock first thing in the morning....lol Now if that doesn't wake you up, you must be dead....lolol
That's the perfect name 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
one man crew what a jag
zero ear pro. love it.
Is this in manitoba.?
Very cool
Smartest one in the bunch appears to be the litte boy, covering his ears.
Them other guys have been deaf years..LOLO
ill bet his neighbors just love him
Older guy knows what's going on telling the 2 young bucks how to do it! LOL!
Looks like that older gent has been around these old alcohol cars a couple times before.
What's the little tink tink tink noise from?
I have seen the car run-many times-Island dragway---
The guy in the blue sweatshirt should tell him “take your funny car an shove it!”
Gotta wonder about your pit crew when you’re firing up the altered and you have to say “don’t put your hand on there!” Lol
old man slps the young kids hands away from his wrench and says stand back and watch squirt
3:21 is what i would want to hear every day
How much? 3000hp? More?
Your neighbours must love living next to you
I miss the slingshot days. These days it's whoever has the most sponsor money wins. These things were built by everyday people in their garages, and barns
I would love to live next door to them !! Walk out and spell nitro in the morning !!!
I bet his neighbors love him.
Sounds like screaming eagles and smells like nothing but freedom.
I'm 2 weeks away from my engine going to dyno and this is what Ive been waiting a year to hear.
That's why hemi cars from the day are so rare ,they were used for drag cars.
Blown hemi
Few minutes later the 15yo neighbor boy comes over screaming he can't hear his damn video game!!
Cool....
Guy with the blue hoodie is going to get his arm sucked into the belt

Part 2 please....
Light the thing up.

But the old man reminds me of Big Jim Dunn, and NOT because he looks like him.
But if ya know Jim Dunn , you can see the similarities.
Alky
It's obviously an alcohol burning car if it was nitro believe me the guy sitting in there wouldn't have a bear face and would have a mask on!! 🤮
Definitely an alcohol car. The guy was spraying a de icer into the butterflies.
also one important distinction is the spark plugs. TF always have two while alky uses one
One guy knows what’s going on … the other two don’t have a clue!
3:19 the dude in the blue shirt didn't get the" I'm going to wack it " memo. 🤣
Wearing gloves 🙄 No Dirty hands here 🤣
Mr black gloves lol I wanna be important too. Lol
So, with no radiator, how long can one run it before it overheats?
If I'm not mistaken it can run for about two-and-a-half to three minutes the fuel is what cools the engine
On the first run the car died at the lights they forgot to put fuel in the tank. ILMAO
That would be so cool to live next door.
Your neighbors must really like you
I SAID I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!! I said I can't hear you while that thing is running!
No ear protection? I said, NO EAR protection.
tasty, top geezers
kid will have alot of fun in that junior dragster
You wish you had one!
Any step up is a lot !!!! More $$$$$ that may be all the fun he can afford!!😆😆😂😂😂😀😀🚘🚘🍺🍺
HA!..Get your hand out of there Junior!
