Default Top fuel in HD- amazing vid

A buddy sent this to me earlier. I don't care what kinda cars you're into or what you do with them- this stuff is just unreal. Turn up the speakers and enjoy.

Nothing like a 500 inch hemi burning 1-1/2 gallons of nitro per minute to produce over 7,000 HP, if you have not seen it live you need to, it is an incredible experience. Great video.

Very cool video! I have been to the track at Sonoma almost every year (it's only 20 mins from my house) to see the big boys when they come to town. Like someone said above, they are a must see! Nothing like seeing them in person
One thing I never realized is that they idle at 2500 rpm
Thanks for sharing that video!

great video, some of you know me from autocross events but our shop is big in drag racing history, but for 10 years we haven't drag raced, last year we picked up a new chassis and are almost finished with the engine and hope to run some events in 2013 heres the new truck

Awesome Video!!
I love that they tear down and rebuild those engines at every race.
And the fuel consumption of nitromethane, just INSANE!!

Great video, been to the Bristol track many times. The first big drag race event I went to, they was still running the front engine setup. The first rear engine dragster I saw was Big Daddy at Rockingham went I was a teenager.
