Want to know just a little of what it's like in a Nostalgia Top Fueler? Here's Champion Speed Shops beautiful canopied car with Adam Sorokin as it shows what a driver does from the time the starter is engaged until he rolls off the track at the other end.
For those not familiar, first you will hear the car fire up, then it does a burnout, then he backs up while being lined up in his tracks, then he stages the car at the starting line, then drives the balls off the car for a handful of seconds, then shuts the engine off and hitting the parachutes, while finally coasting and coming to end of the track where he pulls off and stops.
