Stick A Fork In Bristol?

[DragFan2]

I've said it 100 times. Fox Sports undoubtedly has access to the finest audio/visual equipment in the business, yet I've seen amateur video after video of fuel cars on YT that sounded infinitely better, some so good you'd think you were there live. And what happened to all the in-car videos? They've chopped out about 75 percent of them and the quality isn't any better than it was 25 years ago.

Here's one of Joe Haas' nostalgia FC. Not quite the ground pounder of the AA/FCs but this sucker sounds GOOD. Taken by an amateur, right behind the headers, not muffled, no audio clipping, just pure sound. Pop show at 1:08; no extra charge for the whacks.

Carl and others, I don't know why the BIg Show cars, AA/FC and Top Fuel dragsters sound as muffled as they do now, but they no longer cackle like they did in years past. The nostalgia funny cars with single mags and smaller blowers sound much more like the funny cars I grew up watching and listening to. They cackle, which is what makes nitro engines so cool. No disputing the impressive horsepower gains made with the dual mags, huge fuel pumps, and gigantic blowers.
