Roughly they rebuild these engines after two runs, with (if lucky) just routine maintenance after 1 run... Doesn't take a genius to work out that a rebuild every half mile would be costly and not good for range. :D

I heard somewhere they burn 16 GALLONS to the mile when on full chat down the strip. :D

Did some wiki on top fuel dragsters. Takes 900bhp to drive the supercharger :lol:

The other 9000 to power the car... :D

I noticed you did Llandow, looking at your vids, good circuit ain't it. Comparing vids, im a bit faster than you ;)

Was bone dry when i was there recording though :happy:
