TOP FUEL ACCELERATION IN PERSPECTIVE -One Top Fuel dragster 500 cubic-inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower (10,000HP / 7,456.999kW) than the first 5 rows at the Daytona 500. -Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1.2-1.5 gallons of nitro methane per second; a fully loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same rate with 25% less energy being produced. -A stock Dodge Hemi V8 engine cannot produce enough power to merely drive the dragster's supercharger. -With 3000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into a near-solid form before ignition. Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock at full throttle. -At the stoichiometric 1.7:1 air/fuel mixture for nitro methane the flame front temperature measures 7050 degrees F. -Nitromethane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing exhaust gases. -Dual magnetos supply 44 amps to each spark plug. This is the output of an arc welder in each cylinder. -Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed during a pass. After 1/2 way, the engine is dieseling from compression plus the glow of exhaust valves at 1400 degrees F. The engine can only be shut down by cutting the fuel flow. -If spark momentarily fails early in the run, unburned nitro builds up in the affected cylinders and then explodes with sufficient force to blow cylinder heads off the block in pieces or split the block in half. -Dragsters reach over 300 MPH (482 kmh) before you have completed reading this sentence. -In order to exceed 300 MPH (482 kmh) in 4.5 seconds, dragsters must accelerate an average of over 4G's. In order to reach 200 MPH (322 kmh) well before half-track, the launch acceleration approaches 8G's. -Top Fuel engines turn approximately 540 revolutions from light to light! -Including the burnout, the engine must only survive 900 revolutions under load. -The redline is actually quite high at 9500 RPM. -THE BOTTOM LINE: Assuming all the equipment is paid off, the crew worked for free, and for once, NOTHING BLOWS UP, each run costs an estimated $1,000 per second. -0 to 100 MPH (160 kmh) in .8 seconds (the first 60 feet of the run). 0 to 200 MPH (322 kmh) in 2.2 seconds (the first 350 feet of the run) -6 G-forces at the starting line. 6 negative G-forces upon deployment of twin parachutes at 300 MPH (482 kmh). -An NHRA Top Fuel Dragster accelerates quicker than any other land vehicle on earth - quicker than a jet fighter, quicker than the space shuttle. The current Top Fuel dragster elapsed time record 3.659 seconds for the quarter-mile (Brittany Force). This was done at 338 MPH (544 kmh!). Putting this all into perspective: You are driving the average $140,000 Lingenfelter twin-turbo powered Corvette Z06. Over a mile up the road, a Top Fuel dragster is staged and ready to launch down a quarter-mile strip as you pass. You have the advantage of a flying start. You run the 'Vette hard up through the gears and blast across the starting line and pass the dragster at an honest 200 MPH (322 kmh). The 'tree' goes green for both of you at that moment. The dragster launches - starts after you. You keep your foot down hard, but you hear an incredibly brutal whine that sears your eardrums. Within 3 seconds the dragster catches you, passes you. He beats you to the finish line, a quarter-mile away from where you just passed him. From a standing start, the dragster had spotted you at 200 MPH (322 kmh). Not only caught, but nearly blasted you off the road when he passed you within a mere 1320-foot-long race!

Honey, sweetie, darling, babes, sugar tits... Happy mothers day... Please don't kill me... The boys really need me in their lives.

Funny, sounds like you think you are...

It's getting a bit hard to follow anymore...or maybe it's just gone stale. Again, if one is so inclined to get the vaccine, roll with it! If not, don't. One side shaming the other is as silly as people trying to shame people for getting or not getting a flu shot. When does that happen? Never.

or Pyongyang, that would be pretty cool

Beijing hopefully

Larson in 5th currently and AD 19th one lap down. 👍🏼

Get ready Michigan...it’s back!!!!🤣

Lab leak is the most likely hypothesis based on all available data. If the theory of it making the leap from a bat to an intermediate animal such as a pangolin to humans were the case, one would be able to identify infected pangolins all along the thousand plus mile span between the habitat of the horseshoe bat and Wuhan. They have tested thousands of pangolins and other candidate critters for signs of infection (such as antibodies) and found absolutely zero. China is playing mafia with PPE, vaccines, and other critical goods where it has control. If you speak out about the source of the virus, Xi cuts off your flow of whatever goods he can hurt you with.

You literally regurgitated Chinese Government propaganda in this thread as some sort of proof.....

Literally: Spinner: *Sarcastically accusing somebody of claiming they are some type of know it all virologist Non-Idiot: *Turns it around on Spinner, who is actually acting like one Spinner: "I'm more qualified (to be a virologist)" Non-idiot: Posts video of actual educated biologist proving Spinner wrong. Spinner: 'They're junk science hacks trying to make a name for themselves!"

In your deluded mind, of course you are, just like you think you're a mental health professional.

Yeah....we all come here for something. I bet he'd be an ugly girl.

It's going to be studied for years. However, this guy really just nailed the libtwat diagnosis perfectly: “At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child — miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.” ― P.J. O'Rourke

Take with freshly ground black pepper makes it 2000 times more effective.

it really id the most awesome machine in all of motorsports. The ground literally shakes.

And for the very first time in my career in this pool I have the #1 spot. Amazing that I have the number 1 and the number 109 spots. No science to this. Its just random luck.

Lmfao big talk from a old broke ass fluffer

I have way better things to do with my time than go make some old geezer my prison bitch . Mostly because I don't give 2 shits about you or what you do or don't have . Just pointing out your overwhelming obsession to tell the world what you are worth speaks volumes

I dont give a fuck less how broke you are .you are the one obsessed with your internet baller persona .

NHRA is still big. We go to the Lucas oil NHRA nationals every year at BIR and the place is packed. All of the camp sites are full and every hotel, motel resort in the Brainerd area is full. https://www.birmn.com/

Thought Harvick and Reddick would do better here. Newman running just outside the top 10.

Well this race can't end like this. All 3 of my picks are in the top 5.....lol Let's see who will fuck it up this week.

Those are oligarchs pushing for fascism thru socialism/communism.

Logano, Kyle Busch, Byron I didn't realize there was a race. I thought they didn't race on Easter or Mother's Day.

Matty D, Tyler Reddick, Austin Dillon

The irony..

Whatever politicians allowed this to happen, need to be run out of town on a rail. I get accused of being a “Trumpist” by a few in here all the time, which misses the point by a fucking mile. Its not about so much supporting anyone, as much as recognizing the corruption, how bad its gotten, who are the worst offenders and who is confronting and outing the abuses. Who the sweet fuck thought it a good idea to let 90% of our pharmaceutical production to be farmed out to China, along with so much else of our vital manufacturing capacity? Lets start with Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell. Gtfo of here.

Yeah...as if there weren't already enough huge red flags on this whole thing. The virus is real, the overzealous fear about it is manufactured.

Can you imagine how their heads would pop if under some crazy turn of events, Trump ended up BACK in the WH? They literally burned DC down to get him out of there. Never seen anything like it in American politics before. Weird how that happened. And I don’t even like the guy. Sure was fun watching the liberals have a meltdown if epic proportions though. Hell, they still are! They got their way and they STILL can’t stop talking about him.

Poo550's yard, that would be hilarious!

World seeing how easy the election was to hack and steal an election through dominion voting machines it’s no doubt the world can hack our infrastructure

Everyone wants a seat at the vaccine conspiracy table.

If the government stopped spending on everything what would the job losses be? Anyone of you Trump morons want to take a shot at this?

If you are going to try it buy it from a reputable place, not a gas station counter. Something like this http://greenmountainhempcompany.com/

When you start taking your political cues from a British comedian.......

She got into a car accident after she received a vax so its a vax related death

I have several Ugly Sticks. Medium action, light and an Ultra Light as well. I also like the Shimano rear drag reels. They are super easy to adjust the drag when you are fighting a fish. I usually use my Ultra Light's when fishing for bass or walleye. They make it a bit of a challenge once in a while to set the hook but you fee like you caught a whale each time you get one!!
