Description

Author: Dan Welberry, ISBN: 9780857332653, Hardback, 

An insight into the technology, engineering and maintenance of an 8,000bhp, 300+mph, 6G accelerating; 0-100mph in less than one second Top Fuel dragster.

Top Fuel dragsters are the fastest racing cars on the planet. Powered by huge 8,000bhp nitro-burning engines, the quickest cars can accelerate from 0-100mph in less that a second, subjecting the driver to 6G acceleration, and reaching over 330mph by the end of a quarter-mile timed run. The noise and spectacle of a Top Fuel dragster in action is truly astonishing - a once-seen, never-forgotten experience.
This fascinating manual featues a wealth of 'under-theskin' photographs and explanatory illustrations, providing a unique insight into the engineering of these incredible machines, and takes a look behind the scenes from the perspective of the driver and team members to explain how the cars are designed, built, maintained and driven.

evolution of drag racing in the US and Europe
