Well this past weekend I went to the Atlanta Drag Nationals put on by the NHRA. If you've never been, you really don't know what you're missing. I promise you that the first time a top fuel dragster goes by it will blow your mind and justify the price of the ticket. Next time I need to remember sunscreen though!
Anyhow I had a blast (this was my 2nd year) watching racing all day. I saw some 327 mph passes and some great mid to high 4 second runs. The left side of the track was giving drivers traction problems all day saturday.
Since this is a gas conscious forum, I thought I'd throw out some gas-wise info:
<ul>
<li>Top fuel (Nitromethane) costs around $30 / gallon.
<li>A top fuel dragster burns about 11 gallons in one run.
<li>A dragster's fuel pump is capable of flowing about 92 gallons/minute
</ul>
