NHRA TOP FUEL MOTOR in a PRO MOD !!! - Scott Palmer Racing 

WARNING !!!!!! He does NOT make a good pass in this video !!!!!!! lol

The only team that still blips the throttle for the fans at the big events! Tons of respect for this team!

Love the start-up,when the engine goes from alcohol to nitro,and it starts to cackle.

Header flames were higher than the roof, mission accomplished! 😁👍🏻

That damn thing has enough power and weight to alter the earths rotation if it hooks up.

So there are couple of points that stand out on this video. One, Scott Palmer is an ANIMAL for building and driving what is the really the Blown Altered (with DOORS!) for our era in Drag Racing. It also shows that you can have 10,000 horsepower and if it doesn't hook, you're not going anywhere. When Scott gets the set up right and is on a Track with enough Bite... its going to be something to see FOR SURE! I predict that you are seeing your first 4 second Pro Mod right here. Keep the shiny side up and hurt some feelings Scott, we are all supporting you!

When they get this beast to hookup it’s going to be insane. Seeing the candles lit the entire run would look mean coming out of that ride.

That 1st pull - notice how long after he let out that tires were still spinning. Crazy power!

11,000+HP Studebaker... That's fuckin awesome.

I would like to take this down in the hood for payback for everyone driving by my house at 3 a.m. with loud music.

This is definitely a hold my beer and watch this kind of idea. I love it! Haha!

When he started it up, I was thinking this guy should be President. If he's brave enough to sit behind this monster, nobody in Russia, North Korea, or Congress is gonna intimidate him.....

Cool. New class FuelMod. 21st century fuel altered.

Please god make this a class.

Thank you so much for making this video. Scott Palmer is just as cool in my book as Evil Knievel after seeing this. Please keep us up on this because I know they will get it worked out. I've been following NHRA my whole life and there is a huge difference in a track prepared for a national event and a local Saturday night track prep. He is having fun a I think whether he gets a full pass out of it or not it's badass.

Lol....I had to watch this more than once. I'm a life long fan of NHRA drag racing, I have to tell you, Scott Palmer might set a new trend with this thing. With all the street racing stuff out there he could bridge the gap between street racing fans and Drag strip only fans. I can't tell you how many street racing fans I have talked to that don't even know about the NHRA, or T/F for that matter. Alot of them are in disbelief when I tell them that the 500ci engine in a Top Fuel, and Top Fuel Funny Car produces between 10,000hp and 12,000hp, and 7,000 to 8500 ft/lbs of torque!! For those of you that come across this video and aren't familiar with Top Fuel......... T.V. and RU-vid does not do it justice. A Top Fuel engine under load is so brutal that 100 feet away in the stands it blurs your vision, rattles your bones, and takes your breath away (Not kidding)😁 So if your ever at a Top Fuel event my friends, and they are warming up in the pits.... WATCH THE FLAGS ON TOP OF THE CAR HAULER. Wind direction is important.....Ha ha ha!

Congrats, Mr. Palmer. You are officially the Baddest Man on the Planet!

Sad it didn't hook up......IT WILL!!! My favorite racer on the scene. Most down to earth guy who really likes what he is doing.

I was down at the ET shack and we could feel that thing vibrate the entire shack just at idle.

HOLY HELL greatest idea ever but i geuss if there has ever been too much power this would probably be it

'...this is either gonna be real good, or real bad'...drops the mic,...walks away with a cowboy strut!

I would LOVE to see this thing make a full pull. Hell, even an 8th mile pull would be cool....lol.

Rage Against the Machine playing in the background. How appropriate. That is one serious ride and one cool dude. I'd work for free just to hang in the pits with him and his crew.

So cool to see a local legend killing it for funsies! Scotty has always been a blast to be around. Great video guys!

Totally bad ass machine !! Love it. Thanks for sharing.

I’m the dude backing scott up! Thanks for the badass video guys! Much appreciated

All hail Scott !!! We’re not worth 😲 my hero!!! Such a cool dude he is a great guy

Scott Palmer is a really good guy. Talked with him one day , and he said he loved doing the exhibition stuff as much as NHRA. When he said always remember where you are from , I thought of him saying that to me at ORP. Glad to see him running full time in NHRA and if he is doing an exhibition at your local strip go catch it.

Look out, If they get that thing to stick everyone is in serious trouble!!!!!!

Everyone is about to pass out under that tent from the fumes no doubt. Lol. Hell yeah. Very cool.

In for the 4 second 1320 passes and body parts flying off. Awesome dude and cool as hell project.

floors it, spins the tires, lifts 3 seconds later SKRRRT

This is why I love being an American

Well now, that was pretty damned scary!😮 If they can actually get that thing to hook up, it will be in the low 5's at minimum. 👍

Isn't that just a "Street Car" in 'Merica?! 🤔

This here is a Stude with SERIOUS attitude! When these guys get that bad boy dialed in and sticking, they will literally be in a class of their own. Or create a brand new class, altogether. And the header flames were definitely higher than the roof. By atleast a foot or more. For their 3rd time out with this car, i think they did very well. He didn't wreck, nothing broke (that i know of) and no one got hurt. Competing at this level, everthing comes into play. Elevation, track temperature, air temperature, humidity level, suspension settings, chassis settings, chassis dynamics, tire pressure, etc. It requires a lot of time patience, testing and tuning to get a monster like this to go not just fast, but more importantly straight.

Scott palmer is the absolute nicest guy at the races, he truly loves the fans unlike some who just say it for the camera

Great idea. Would be great if this could be a new class in drag racing. We definitely need more drag racing in Germany.

Well, I've never even seen a TF do a burnout on Nitro, so thank you for that! :D As for the hit no big surprise, that's a LOT of motor for that chassi, give 'em time and they'll make it go!

Badass level.....BOSS I feel for anyone thinking their Pro Mod has ANY chance once this thing gets sorted out.

Now that’s the kind of cars that bring you to the drag strip!!!!!

I see some new clutch technology coming out of this. Still way cool just the way it is!

When your paint job adds 700+ horsepower

Mr.Palmer is a true gentleman in racing i met him 20 years ago at BIR he crawled out of the truck i wasnt sure who he was i figured the truck driver he was very nice to my buddy and i i am glad he is able to make a living out of a dream he is a true racer to the core have a great day all be safe.

So I'm guessing he staying away from no prep with this

It’s gonna coast them a ton of money just to try and figure out how to get it to work. A ton of power and a million questions. Hopefully they figure it out before they run out of money.💵

Watching this with tears of joy and goosebumps ( it’s been 8 months since I got my nitro fix at Santa Pod here in the UK). Just get control of that power at the hit. I hope we have a new racing class - great job!

One bad ass hot rod

16 of these, running for a $million dollars on a Saturday night. Just like Earl Baltes did at eldora for sprint cars. Ironic he mentions the 4 wide, to me that's the worse thing to happen to drag racing, And Short wheelbases and Nitro will always be the Best Thing!!

Definitely want to see more of that car. Lol please

I don't know what impresses me the most. The car or the fact that they can all still hear each other...

When they shut the fuel off in the pit it didn't kill the motor, the mechanic had to remove the fuel line to shut it down. Before the second pass the mechanic was tightening the fuel line on the starting line because of a leak, then when he left the line a huge spray of fuel was still coming from the line. This thing is in serious need of maintenance before it kills someone.

Never forget where you come from.

4:47 scared the shit out the camera man

As they say gasoline for cleaning part alcohol for drinking and Nitro's for racing.I've had the pleasure of meeting Scott when he first started racing Nitro Great Guy Glad to see him doing well it's a tuff gig Not easy to Run a Nitro car it take's tons of money and a good crew. I've traveled the NHRA tour for 10 years been around a lot of Nitro Cars . Now Palmer Knows how to have some fun. I don't think they can tune that animal down enough to get it to hook. But I bet it was fun to try.

Scott Palmer," A true love for Drag Racing..👌

That thing is terrifying...the violence of that engine give me goose bumps...

I've always wanted to see this! Always thought a topfuel motor in a promod would be awesome! Will be interesting to see if they can get it sorted out and see how fast it might be able to go

That was awesome !!!!

The car really coasts well, nice and straight with practically no friction. Racing, the fastest way to turn money into noise.....rap music, the fastest way to turn noise into money.

Was he getting a little choked up when he said “ never forget where you come from”?

That reminds me the day I plugged my 120V Makita drill into the 220volts outlet was amazing for 4 seconds.

Palmer and Homewrecker motorsports are the only 2 top fuel pro mods out there. Both teams are outstanding and put on amazing shows for the fans.

One very cool man right there thanks for sharing buddy

Those guys not wearing ear protection are fools.

Deja Vu, I built a 1/25 plastic model back in the 90's, shoved a FC engine into a Door Slammer Pro Mod........this one is just bigger. :)

It’s such a cool car. Love the green header flames. You’ll get it figured out. Just takes $$$. Stay with it.

Daymn!! Without the downforce and frame length can't see how in the hell they'll ever get a hook. Clutches will need an entire rework at minimum,, but if anyone can get it figured out these boys will surely find it. This just may be the future of promod. Daymn, I'm imagining the pilot's thoughts as he peers through the tiny space he has left, attempting to see around that huge supercharger, doing his best to heard this monster down range. Awesome!

The clutch was way to tight.

Question: Why do Americans do stuff like this? Because they can, baby! Awesome!

I have a feeling the clutch was slipping pretty badly with both launches. The sparks under the car around where the transmission is isn't a good sign and the fact that the rear tires never seemed to gain RPM's at fast as the engine did leads me to think the clutch setup needs some rethinking. I suspect the clutch would slip so badly that Scott would assume he'd broke traction and let off the throttle. Yet when the engine RPM's would begin to drop you'd see the rear tires suddenly start to gain RPM's and break traction. Meaning the clutch was finally locking up enough to send some of that power to the rear end but only when the engines RPM's would drop enough for the clutch to have a chance to grab. I could be completely wrong but having spent more then a few years on the track I'd about bet money the clutch setup is at least a big part of what's going on here.

.. i kept looking down the track thinking that thing was gonna shoot like a bullet lol🤔

Lmao 😂 never seen anyone put fuel in a nitro car while it’s running... y’all crazy 😜 badass car tho

Ya mean you just can't dump the same settings in on the clutch? .. hope the bang at the end of 2nd pass was not too bad... Can not wait to see this come together ..

Scott’s a great guy. He loves entertaining the fans.

Scott,,that's beyond badass,, and that is right, never forget where you came from! Good point

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I dont think the track was there lol

I finally got to go see top fuel cars for the first time last weekend at Mokan RaceWay. It was AMAZING 😍 lol

First burnout sounds like Godzilla!!! LOL Freaking awesome!!!

Very humble man you are sir, that's top notch!!! 👊👊🤘✌️🙏🙏🍁🍁

4:50 Scared ya a little bit, didn't it? 😂

20x better than 1320's kye and lizzy vid

An Aussie brought a vehicle named "ShitBox of Doom " to dragweek this year but couldn't finish, it had a Huge Blown Motor as well. Everyone lined up to hear and see that thing run.

Watching that with my eyes watering , wife asked me what was wrong. I said nothing, it's just the nitro fumes.

"Will give you 50 Grand to make a full pass in īt!"... "I'll pass... Thank you very much"...

Well,it did run like an old Funny car ! The burnout should be at least half track ,and then the dry hops and and blast for a few hundred feet ad shut off! Go watch some old 70s funny cars do it and try it again.Jungle Jim ,King Camero ,Mazmanian , Holy Toledo,Pisano & Matsubara ,Diamond Jim Annin,ect. those were the REAL funny cars!

It will definitely be the fastest door car on the planet if he can get it to hook up. Could maybe the next big class under top fuel and funny car?

The raw fuel that thing spits out at idle is ridiculous!! 😳

Can u even back enough power out of that NHRA top fuel for a full run. Guess its a no for nopreps. Imo

Lotta raw fuel. Was it on 2 cylinders for the burnout.

That is as cool as the top 10 finalists in Miss America walking on stage as naked as the day that they were born...very cool and a much watch!!!!!!!!

Love the way they add Fuel right before takeoff.

All the thumbs down love AOC and drive a Prius with a Coexist sticker on the back

Man i can feel that power through the screen

For those who wonder why they pulled a fuel line for shut down. That is to be damn sure their is no left over Nitro in the engine. if your starting the car on alcohol and it finds some nitro, it can blow the cylinder head off, taking your head with it if your in its way

I cannot understand how they think that electric cars are the future for this sport.. Maybe for everything else but on a drag strip.... I just don't see anything more entertaining than the sound, the feel, and smell of today's cars

Finally someone is running nitro in a pro mod

That car is so cool and Scotty is the greatest

This made my day.

The sheer horsepower, that thing is nasty.
