The History of Hydrazine In Drag Racing: The Liquid Boogey Man Explored

from The Dork-O-Motive Podcast · host Brian Lohnes

This is the in-depth history of Hydrazine in the sport of Drag Racing. It is one of the most mythic, misunderstood, and undocumented stories of the sport's past.   In this video we'll explore the origins of hydrazine, how it found its way into cars, how it enhances nitromethane and all of its associated dangers.   Hydrazine was by far the most dangerous chemical ever handled regularly by drag racers and perhaps the most destructive as well. In this exploration, we bust myths, dive deep into the players who ran "The H" successfully, and document the cars, people, and events that were effected by it most.   Using loads of period books, magazines, interviews, and history, the story is told in depth. Enjoy!
