HA HA!!

 

Ok, I’m at work today not really feeling like working (for the last couple days..) I’m all over the net,. at various car forums. Turns out our dept. secretary is basically doing the same thing different stuff. Question is…if that makes me a Post *****, then what is she, a CyberSlut? Is there a difference?

 

[*]One Top Fuel dragster's 500-cubic-inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower than the first four rows at the Daytona 500.[/align]
[*]A stock Dodge Hemi V-8 engine cannot produce enough power to drive the dragster's supercharger.[/align]
[*]With 3000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into a near-solid form before ig-nition. Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock at full throttle.[/align]
[*]At the stoichiometric 1.7:1 air-fuel mixture for nitromethane, the flame front temperature measures about 7000 degrees Fahrenheit.[/align]
[*]Nitromethane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, separated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing heat of the exhaust gases.[/align]
[*]Dual magnetos supply 44 amps to each spark plug. This is the output of an arc welder in each cylinder.[/align]
[*]Spark plug electrodes can be totally consumed during a single pass. After half-distance, the engine is dieseling from compression plus the glow of exhaust valves at 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. The engine is shut down by cutting the fuel flow.[/align]
[*]If a spark plug fails early in the run, un-burned nitro can build up in the affected cylinder and explode with sufficient force to blow the cylinder head off in pieces or split the cylinder block in half.[/align]
[*]In order to exceed 300 mph in 4.5 seconds, dragsters must accelerate at an average of more than 4 g's. In order to reach 200 mph before half-distance, the launch acceleration approaches 8 g's. A Top Fuel dragster reaches more than 300 mph before you have completed reading this sentence.[/align]
[*]With a redline that can be as high as 9500 rpm, Top Fuel engines turn approximately 540 revolutions from light to light. Including the burnout, the engine needs to survive only 900 revolutions under load.[/align]
[*]Assuming that all of the equipment is paid off, the crew works gratis, and nothing breaks, each run costs an estimated $1000 per second.[/align]
[*]The current Top Fuel dragster elapsed time record is 4.441 seconds for the quarter-mile (October 5, 2003, Tony Schumacher). The top-speed record is 333.25 mph as measured over the last 66 feet of the quarter-mile (November 9, 2003, Doug Kalitta).[/align]
[*]Putting all of this into perspective: You are driving the average $140,000 Lingenfelter twin-turbo Corvette Z06. More than a mile up the road, a Top Fuel dragster is staged and ready to launch down a measured quarter-mile as you pass. You have the advantage of a flying start. You run the Vette up through the gears and blast across the starting line and past the dragster at an honest 200 mph. The "tree" goes green for both of you at that moment. The dragster launches and starts after you. You keep your foot down, but you hear a brutal whine that sears your eardrums, and within three seconds, the dragster catches you and beats you to the finish line, a quarter-mile from where you just passed him. From a standing start, the dragster spotted you 200 mph and not only caught you but nearly blasted you off the road when he passed you within a mere 1320 feet.[/align]

That doesn't sound too excruciatingly boring, now, does it? I called my equally good friend Don Prieto, of the Prietive Group in Torrance, California, to check the facts. He suggested that the business about heat from dragster exhaust igniting the hydrogen in the atmosphere was probably hypothetical.[/align]
Prieto then reminded me of a factoid he had passed along in the days of front-engined dragsters. He said, "You know that you're in deep trouble in a dragster if you can suddenly see things clearly. That means the supercharger has been blown off the top of the engine and the raw nitromethane fuel has eaten through your visor."[/align]

 

More Top Fuel facts.....

[ul][*]Every single professional Top Fuel driver has had a mullet at some point for at least 25% of their adult lives. [/ul]

[ul][*]Top Fuel Nitromethane is actually a concentrated, distilled form of Budweiser [/ul]

[ul][*]Every Top Fuel driver must spend a minimum of 4 hours a week in specialized classes to train then to fit every one of theirsponsor's names into every single sentence they say on camera. [/ul]

[ul][*]Over 92% of injuries sustained by Top Fuel drivers each year occur during photo shoots of the drivers holding up a sponsor's product. [/ul]

[ul][*]It is estimated that if Texas and Alabama seceeded from the United States, US domesticdistribution of Top Fuel merchandise would decline over 78% in the first year alone. [/ul]

[ul][*]Top Fuel driver's yearly contracts are signed with specialized pens which replace traditional black ink with Coors Light. [/ul]

[ul][*]All Top Fuel driver's contracts are faxed in from New York City, due to alarming illiteracy rates of the local Top Fuel legal staff.[/ul]

I'm sure I could think of more, but I just took some Darvocet for my back pain and it's kicking in riiight abbbbbouuuuuut nooooooowowowwwww.

 

LOL

 

haha great stuff

 

You know, I might have Alzheimers, but thank god, at least I don't have Alzheimers....

So SS is not a big top fuel fan? Me either, but I thought some of those facts were cool.
