I agree, if you've never experienced it live you don't know what you are missing.

If I am not mistaken there is no water type engine coolant system on top fuel engines.

You are correct, the engines run dry. I suppose the latent head absorbed by 6 gallons of fuel helps to cool them, and the heat load lasts for less than 4 seconds. Then they're disassembled and rebuilt in 45 minutes. At least at Maple Grove, you can tour the pit area and watch all the crews at work.
