Morning Symphony: Watch and Listen To A Pair Of Thundering Pro Nitrous Machines Run Side By Side 3.80s – Crank It Up!

When drag racing fans hear the names Travis Harvey and Shannon Jenkins announced as being on the starting line next to each other, they run to the fence to watch. Why? Jenkins is one of drag racing’s true living legends and a guy who knows more about tuning nitrous pro mods than perhaps anyone else on Earth and secondly Travis “The Carolina Kid” Harvey is an absolute monster in the PDRA’s Pro Nitrous ranks and has been for years. It is like the classic battle of the old gunfighter and the new guy who is trying to take him down.

In this video we see the two men lined up to qualify at Bradenton Motorsports Park for their yearly US Street Nationals, one of the earliest races of the drag racing season. We’re actually pumped to be heading down for the 2017 version in a couple of weeks. (Here’s the details on classes, payouts, entry fees, etc. Come hang out with us!) Pro Nitrous will also be part of the program this year and that means more engine that measure to 950ci + and more amazing side by side action like this.

We’d argue that outside of a nitro burning engine, nothing sounds better than one of these mountainous nitrous pro mod engines. For starters, the huge bore and stroke combos give them a guttural sound at idle that is hard to match and when you start learning about the specs of the parts inside the engine from the cylinder heads to the camshaft you realize that these things are super sized beyond most normal hot rodder’s conception.

Personally, we favor the collector style exhaust because of the header flame factor. The zoomies have a distinct sound but they do not have the scavenging a collector header does and because of that the header flames are relatively small. Either way, the noise is spectacular as think you will agree!
