How To Start A 410 Sprint Car (900 HORSEPOWER) - 5 Easy Steps 

Was lucky enough to get to drive one last week at a sponsors day, just mind blowing 900hp direct drive. The throttle response is unimaginable. I have even more respect now for people driving these cars at full throttle amongst 25 other cars than i did before.

It's still absolutely wild to watch the drivers who can actually pull off a rolling re-start if the car ends up out of gear... just the feel and timing to unweight the rear with the brakes, slam it in, and then actually have the momentum to turn it over is crazy.

Getting close to 65,000 followers almost what a 410 cost. Good job Tanner

I know this video is older so you personally won’t see this but I found this video when trying to show my friends that sprints are the baddest of the baddest. Proud of where you’ve come from and where you are now.

Seen them once. And they are wild.

Great video. 410 sprint cars are by far my favorite form of racing.

Drive lever moved since my day. Used to be a fore/aft lever right on the torque tube.

When I was running in the 80's and 90's we would put the car in gear by pulling the cable upward. Now you have that nice rocker motion. I'm from Central Pa. Nice to see that Rider engine! I used Gaerte at the time. Some used Kriner. My cars were Ben Cook and Henchcraft. My tracks were Clinton County, Port Royal, Selinsgrove, and wherever. There is no lack of racing in Pa.!!

Love your videos, Tanner. I like the upclose and informative videos like this one. Can you do a video on how you adjust your wing from the cockpit. Also explain to your viewers why you adjust and how the adjustments make the car handle differently. I ran a street stock over 20 yrs ago. Things have sure changed since then. Stay safe!

Loved this video. I too love that start-up rumble of that magnificent machine! ✌✌

Educational as always, expands who can appreciate the sport... well done!

Apreciate your showing people this. I highly recommend on a High compression constant flow injected engine that your first push car to: 1. obtain Oil pressure 2. Turn mag on 3. Then turn fuel in If you change to this method of starting a super high compression constant flow injected engine you will never ruin an engine from hydrolocking and bending a rod, mashing a bearing, or breaking a piston skirt and or piston rings. When you turn fuel.on without ignition on a constant flow injected engine its can stuff the cylinder full of fuel because it is not burning. Air compresses methanol fuel is liquid liquids do not compress. I've rebuilt a lot of 16:1 Engines that hydrolocked from unburnt fuel and were badly damaged. Race safe and enjoy!

You do a great job of explaining how a 410 runs. Nothing better than the alcohol smell of a 410!

Lots of power and great sport to watch however, I think rally racing is the true king of all motorsport

Hey tanner i think ehat you should do is have a gopro on your helmet like in this video through the entire race so we can see exactly what your see and like whenever you tilt your head we tilt with you i think that would be cool

NINE HUNDRED HORSEPOWER!! Holy pumping pistons, I had no idea! Man, that must be a real handful. You sound like a very grounded young man. That car and racing like you do, you have to be totally squared away. The very best, my friend.

Another terrific video. Love it Tanner, always a sportsman. Honored to be a subscribed fan. Rock and Racing,music to my ears.

I wanna race sprints so bad my mom did it my grandpa died for 10 mins at Skagit speedway and I really wanna race there as well you make me so inspired I am 15 and have been dreaming of being out ripping corners once that green flag comes out! Love you tanner! I really hope I can go to a race and watch you as well as a picture!!

Yep, the exact same process is the same for supermodifieds!

Awesome video Love those sprit cars

I have always done it ignition before fuel so you don’t flood the engine

I've always wondered how a driver starts one of them beasts. I had an idea of how they started one up but never saw it up close.

I made the same video a little while ago but your 410 purrs a little louder than my LS1 🤣 Think you're gonna be answering a question a lot of folks are maybe too shy to ask with this video.

Thanks Tanner. Love your videos. For novice race fans like myself they're very enlightening. Hope you come to Pa sometime. If not maybe I'll you in the World of Outlaws game on my PlayStation. Be safe and have an outstanding season.

A ROLLING ROCKET WITH SW. AND BRAKE NO ONE PUTS YOU IN THE CAR LIKE TANNER HAMMER DOWN HAVE A GREAT SEASON DUECES

Awesome man.

This is the content i love to see , great job man keep up the good work moving forward.

pure race car Tanner thanks many never seen this

If u notice the top 5 winners will offten drive throw the mud after the checked to pick up extra weight....

My husband runs winged sprints he uses Rider engine's we have had amazing results with them,I race super late models I run Yates ry45 engine makes like a grand in HP,we built a Ride along late model and people always say the same thing after turning 7 laps with that kind of power,OMG THATS INSANE MY NECK AND ARMS ARE WEAK 🤣🤣🤣 People don't realize how strenuous it is,

Way awesome video! Yes the world of outlaws are my favorite. But the 410 sprints are definitely up there. Wish you raced in Bakersfield Cal. About an hour south of Tulare Cal. Keep doing an awesome job!

Bad to the bone Tanner,just listening while it's idling, forgot power to weight ratio ,wings my favorite

That sound gets your adrenaline going! And the Methanol will make your eyes water for sure!

So awesome Tanner

Real race cars have wings! 😀✌️

Nice one Tanner 👍👍🏁

Hope you hit Tulare and Bakersfield in the fall....come South Young man !!! 🏁🏁🏁

Hey man love the video. Here’s maybe an idea for video content. I noticed on most vlogs you mentioned track conditions “slick…heavy.. rubbered up ect”. If time slows in your schedule would you mind explaining more in depth of the track conditions and how effects the cars handling? Thanks!

Awesome video!! 👍🏁

Yuppers !! - See them once ( all it takes )

move your mag box to the engine side of the fire wall. local guy to me had it in the same spot and somehow it started electrocuting him.

Good one

Just wondering how tall are you? Looks awful tight in the cockpit!

Holes in the steering wheel? To remove weight and put it somewhere else on the chassis?

methanal right? no radiator? no cooling?

2.2 hp cubic inch ain’t bad.

Cool.

Question: do you use the same fuel in a 360 or 410. I remember having a sweet smell with alcohol?

Are you going to be racing at Skagit speedway WA this season?

Never really noticed until now that I’ve never heard a sprint car idle before up close.

How are you pronouncing your race number that makes it sound like 18tnt?

I can attest that after not only watching dirt cars growing up but eventually getting to be a pit crew and race a 4 banger (much different than 900hp beast he has) I stopped watching nascar and will only watch dirt track.

Tanner,, I have given up watching Sprintcars because of the constant restarts. An hour and a quarter to run a B main.. dont need the b/s. I was home 60 miles away by the time the A main started. That and everyone has big hp so it is just a nose to tail race with little passing,,, until someone crashes, then crash on the restart etc. And ofcourse we cannot touch the track when it is dry, slick and horrid and dusty, I dont neeed to be blowing black from my nose for a couple of days afterwards. I have run classic Supermods for near 30 years. those cars have a starter and a clutch so IF there is a stoppage we all drive off again. And all those cars looked different sounded different and handled different. By about 2000 there was far bigger money around and far less cars Mid 90s at the Adelaide track there was probably 30 local cars. By 2000 20. Sprintcars and midgets maybe should all have clutch and starter with a battery. Same for everyone and LOT of time saved. Personally I feel 360s are a better deal and they do not tear up equipment near as much. Same drivers in 360s for the most part may well still be in front but cheaper engines [and none are cheap now] may bring numbers back up. Maybe. Plus looking at US tracks,, how the hell are they alloweed to race cars on them. The track your sister crashed on is still running and that place is totally dangerous. Go look at Aussie tracks,, they have full walls, pitgates, catch fencing up to a far higher standard. 100% safer and drivers are still injured but less injured.

I wanna drive !!!!!! 🤪🤪🤪🤪

What heads are on that Rider? 1-way?

What's the cylinder in front of the engine?

#eldora million

👍

👍🏻

Kiddo, was wondering if you and Carly are considering using a mouthpiece to protect your teeth. I see more and more sprint car drivers doing that. I'm sure it's a bit jarring driving the car.
