Ahhhhhh....Top Fuel.
I wish I'd been there Friday, I am almost every year, but I'm stuck in Hawaii for 6 weeks. What? No sympathy?
I like the lesser classes that use nitromethane as well, it's fun to see a supercharged car on alcohol ready to launch, at 6000-7000 rpm, while the non-supercharged nitro car waits at idle...still sounding meaner, and still capable of accelerating just as hard from a dead stop. No need to rev, as much torque as you want, anywhere in the rev range.
