Interesting points I did not know about top-fuel dragsters! I enjoy watching them race, and seeing the outcome less than 5 seconds later at over 300 mph!

I DID know from other sources that the engines are designed to last no more than six seconds under load. Each pass is followed by a complete engine teardown and rebuild...pistons are completely melted following a run!
