LOL, unfortunately top fuel flatbottoms went the way of the dinosaur. They are all retired or dead.
Nowadays they run top alcohol flats but no fuel flats that I know of.
They still run top fuel hydros but it aint the same, flatbottoms gotta be flown to go fast. Plus they have full capsules instead of parachutes packed on the back of their necks. Pansies

Jeff, you sure about that fuel shutoff in top fuel? I thought they had a lever in the cokpit to shut off the fuel. I don't know where i got that idea, maybe it's just something I assumed.
