I got to be behind one of those dragsters while I was staging today, and see it make a 7.1 @ 199mph, my god, talk about an incredible experience being that close while a car that fast is taking off.

don't they run close to a pure methanol mix? I love the smell of methanol burning, nothing says power like the scent of 120 octane

EDIT: but no, I couldn't smell it considering I was wearing a helmet and my windows were closed.

that's top fuel, I don't think the regular dragsters that run ~7 seconds are running the same thing, but I could be wrong

but yeah, I know all about nitromethane

EDIT: I guess what I'm talking about is pro, super pro, or jr dragsters. I'm horribly unfamiliar with anything drag racing oriented
