Top fuel dragsters
Went to Santapod yesterday and saw a top fuel dragster go down the strip! all I can say is fu*king scary. 8000 bhp 0-100 in 0.8sec 5g acceleration 5g de-acceleration. Spoke to the mechanics (top blokes) with the Lucas Oils car who are running at the pod over the next bank holiday they are hoping to beat 4.54sec over the 1/4 mile. Lots of scoobies were up there had a great day.

Spent a big chuck of my life watching these things.
Something you need to see in real life as words can't really describe the brute power of them

Each of the 8 cylinders produce more power than a complete F1 engine.
0 - 100 is normally about 0.8 of a second. 14 to 18 gallons of Nitro Methane per quarter Current US budgets are $ 22,000 per run Like The Ring, experiencing Top Fuelers is a box to tick. You will see the difference between Methanol & Nitro Methane in the clip, The car is started on Methanol only 1500 Bhp. Keep your eyes on the guy on the left. You will see him stretch his arm and activate the Nitro. It then has 8000 Bhp and normally they run between 96 - 98% N.M. You will hear the fuel pressure increase just before they blip the throttle. Currently around £ 62 per gallon This is as serious as motor racing gets. Nothing comes close to experiencing a TF.
