The Dragzine Podcast

Nitro drag racing doesn’t get much wilder than this. Ryan “Taco Man” Hill of Hill Family Racing joins Dragzine Podcast host Brian Wagner to talk about wheeling the Bandido nitro fuel altered: a car with the short wheelbase of a Funny Car, the aerodynamics of a dragster, and none of the downforce of either. Ryan breaks down his path from Pro Mod and Top Sportsman to nitro, including his first laps in his dad Dave Hill’s Mad Max nostalgia Funny Car. He describes a fuel altered pass in a way only a driver can: header flames a few feet from your face, more G-forces than a fighter jet, and a car that has to be manhandled every inch of the way.
