I went to the Zmax drag strip in Charlotte a couple of times when I was living there. So different than Nascar. The drag teams are friendly, and you can wonder the pits and talk with them. I really enjoyed it.

I prefer Formula and Nascar. Even though I used to bring my car to the drag strip, I prefer turning. I like that Nascar has added road racing tracks. Better than just going in ovals.

Will Statefarm pay for the damage?

Dave,
What/How has the technology changed in the top fuel funny car industry in the past 20 years?
The first time I experienced a top fuel event was in Fremont, CA back in 1973.
My friends and I were sitting in the stands, we had been watching all the races and then all of a sudden a very loud rocket went by.
"Did you see that?" Grinning from ear to ear, I had to remind myself to close my mouth and breathe.
HOLY Sheeeeit!!!!

The power out of those engines is totally awesome! Estimated at over 10000hp. With all that nitromethane if the plug doesn’t fire, the engine will hydraulic. Note how the 1000 foot run has speeds surpassing the old 1/4 mile times.

10,000 HP from a piston engine.
I wonder what henry Ford would have thought about it??

11,000 HP on Hemi blocks . Wonder if I could shoe horn one onto a Cub Cadet ?
