I was blown away and had a new admiration for top fuel racing. The engine gets completely torn down after every run, it was amazing watching those guys work. I think they went through a case of brake cleaner just in the disassembly.

And, as mentioned the sound during each run will disintegrate kidney stones.
I'm betting Shawn was very cool and friendly, right? He's a class act.

Don Schumacher racing spends the most money in drag racing, their budget is basically a bottomless pit.
