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. VHS & DVD) |

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. |
