A top fuelie is a sight to see. I saw it, but I did not get hooked. Once was enough for me. It is beyond a simple explanation in power and noise. Just awesome.
They long ago reached the point the they were so fast in the 1/4 mile they had to shorten the track to keep the speeds just somewhat sane.
When it get to the level that a single run can cost 30 grand they have passed the point of logical.
I guess my love of sports cars and making a turn and using brakes makes me less interested in drag racing. I have never owned a big HP stoplight racer and I never lusted after one.
Paul Newman was quoted saying something like "Taking a 40 MPH corner at 39.95 MPH is more satisfying than going 200 MPH down a highway"
