RE: Dragster Trivia
While I'm not a diehard NASCAR fan, a top fuel engine must live for 1/4 mile and a NASCAR engine must live for 500 miles. BOTH of which are very impressive. During one event they had a plexiglass mockup with a top fuel injector hat on top of it to simulate the amount of fuel going through those engines. It didn't seem possible that the volume of fuel flowing could even be ignited. It was pretty incredible! I guess that's why you taste the nitro for days afterwards.
