The explosive power of a nitro Hemi, exposed in slow motion!
The torque and power produced by a 500-cid nitromethane-burning Top Fuel Hemi come from the massive cylinder pressures pushing down on the pistons. If not contained, that pressure will escape the combustion chambers (in this case through the head gasket) and cause devastating results.
While working to qualify his Top Fuel car in Norwalk, Mike Bucher's Hemi experienced a head gasket failure that was caught by NHRA on FOX cameras in super-slow motion.
