Inside with a Top Fuel Team
We are taken inside a Top Fuel Team on race weekend (prep, rebuild, & interviews).
320+ mph & 11,000 to 12, 000 horses cost over $100,000 to race Top Fuel on the weekend.
Cylinder pressure will shrink/shorten the Piston Rods after a weekend of racing.
Magnetos generate 88 amps, and the bare end of a spark plug wire is hot enough to weld with.
Check fuel pressure relative to fuel flow and adjust accordingly before the race run.
Driver steers to the inside of the race track for the first 330 yards, and then back to the center for the best racing surface.
Post race digital readouts of engine parameters, wheel spin, G acceleration, etc.
Team Owner does a pep talk for the last race of the 2021 season.
