Firing up my fiend's land speed roadster

The car is obviously not in race mode but they were firing up the rebuilt motor to check it out.

This is a Bonneville land speed record holder for it's class, 304.651

John is the engine builder (red rag in rear pocket) and the white haired guy is the owner/driver and is 3 years older than me. I guess I'm "old school" too.

What is in the 5 gallon soda keg used at the start? That is what I use for kegging my homebrew. I assume the roadster does not run on beer. Maybe the driver is fueled on brew?
