In the 2014 video the SR-37 had problems, frustrating Don Garlits. In the middle of the video, Don Garlits raced a Tesla-S, happy with its performance. And at the end of the video, the SR-37 was still down and Don Garlits vented his racing-desire frustration by saying, 'drop a nitro into it' (meaning yank the EV guts and put in an ice = he wants to race).
