Top Fuel Dragster
Top Fuel Dragsters represent the pinnacle of drag racing performance. Utilizing a supercharged engine producing nearly 8,000 horsepower from 500 cubic inches of displacement, these “Kings of the Quarter-Mile” can accelerate from a standing start to 100 miles per hour in less than one second and cover the quarter-mile in the four-second zone at over 320 miles per hour. You will feel these earth shattering machines even at the top of the grandstands as they launch with g-forces rivaling those of the space shuttle.
Each quarter-mile run costs nearly $4,000 in basic wear on equipment, including almost $500 for the 15 gallons of nitromethane fuel used for every pass. Using sophisticated computers to monitor all engine functions, each team is typical of the $1 Million investment needed to fund a full season of racing.
