The Drag Car from the show

Post by Whelan »

http://youtube.com/watch?v=f8K6qDeXl9s Here it is, the Drag Car that was at the huge car show, sorry for the shaky camera at the end, I had the camera held over my head trying to hold it in place. The burning alcohol from the engine was making everyone's eyes water and my ears were going deaf, lol. All in all still fun, but I know not to stand that close ever again. Enjoy!

Yep, pretty sure that's nitro-methane or top fuel. That stuff's nasty. A top fuel car is started on alcohol/gasoline and once running, it's switched over to the good stuff. The idle becomes rougher and louder as evidenced in the video. They estimate 6000-8000 HP.
