DRAG RACING TID-BITS
TODAY’S TOP FUEL CAR HAS ENOUGH TECHNOLOGICAL
EQUIPMENT BOLTED ON TO HAVE A NASA ROCKET SCIENTIST
SHAKING HIS HEAD IN BEWILDERMENT. CONSIDER THE
EQUIPMENT BOLTED TO A CURRENT T0P FUEL CHASSIS:
1. A FUEL SYSTEM ALMOST UNDECIPHERABLE WHICH INCLUDES A
PUMP CAPABLE OF DRAINING AN AVERAGE-SIZED SWIMMING
POOL IN 3 HOURS (18,000 GALLONS DIVIDED BY 100 GPM).
2. A 14-71 SUPERCHARGER THAT IS SO TOUCHY IT NEEDS A
SPECIALIST TO RE-STRIP IT EVERY RUN.
3. A $6,000 CARBON FIBER INJECTOR “HAT” THAT IS TOTALLY
DESTROYED IF THE ENGINE SO MUCH AS SNEEZES.
4. TWO 44-AMP MAGNETOS, ENOUGH POWER TO WELD STEEL
PLATE.
5. A 12-INCH RING GEAR REAR-END.
7. A SIX-DISC CLUTCH WITH ENOUGH MANAGEMENT TO CONTROL
ALL THE RAILROAD SWITCHING YARDS IN CHICAGO.
8. A DATA RECORDER WITH MORE INFO-GLEANING ABILITY THAN
NASA’S SHUTTLE.
