If you've
seen flamethrowing, the act of blowing fire through a car's exhaust pipes, you
know the excitement of flames lighting up the sky. "The Flamethrowers"
is a must for you. If you've never experienced this outrageous activity, here's
your chance. "The Flamethrowers" contains some of "the best big
flames on film."
Flamethrowing began in the
Fifties with a choke technique that shot flames about two to three feet in length.
In the mid-90's the popularity of "lighting it up" grew as the flames
increased in length through the development of injection systems. Intrigued by
the huge flames and the men who shot it, Fairway followed some of these flamethrowing
pioneers through five states, capturing footage at events big and small. Not only
is there footage from the mega-shows such as the Summer
Nationals and Lead East, but also of
a local car club shooting small flames at a Burger King. What a flame-broiled
delight! (55 Minutes.

FAQ |
| |
| |
| Q.
Does "The Flamethrowers" offer any instructions on how to hook
up a flamethrowing system? |
A.
No. Our intention was to share the excitement that those watching flamethrowing
enjoy and
to introduce you to those who blow fire. Most of the pioneers make a point of
emphasizing the
dangers of their sport and emphatically suggest that those who wish to begin shooting
flames
seek out the assistance of a knowledgeable flamethrower and do a lot of research
to make sure
that everything is safe. |
|
|
|
| |
| |
| Q.
I've seen flamethrowing on other videos and it looks all washed out. Is it washed
out on your production? |
| A.
No. It did take quite a bit of time and experimentation to avoid this common problem,
however. |
|
|
|
| |
| |
| Q.
Is there flamethrowing by people other than the five pioneers in "The Flamethrowers"? |
A.
Yes, quite a bit, including some by "Wild Bill" Keller, Brian Ross,
Jim Farrell, Sr., Jim
Farrell, Jr., Charlie
Conte, "Animal" Sabo, Bill Pruchnik, and many others. |
