im assuming that was the first time it was fired up, and probably had rediculously cold plugs, hence he block needed to be hot before it fired.

that's just a guess tho

I thought it was just running at low rpms until warm. So that was a starter running it the first half?

Seems like it was running from the video start...you can see the brake rotors turning it is in gear. Hell, at about 0:17 in the vid you can see blue flames popping.....

The CRAZY thing is the guy right behind the car....with no hearing protection...you can even see his hair getting blown around...
