  4. There are quite a few factors to consider when comparing between US and European drag racing,, the main one being budget, its a much smaller sport in Europe hence has a fraction of the budget,,, 
    There`s no point just reeling off speed, track length, horse power etc without considering how the teams and cars get to that end. Everything needs to be taken into consideration – Budget (euro has less than 10% of us teams budget), cost per run, limited spares, poorer tracks run by different countries standards, US`s 22 meetings per year rather than Euro`s 5 (ie more run data), Tuning for consistency over speed, data logging equipment and much more

    The above points are taken from an article by the crew chief of a euro team talking about the differences between us and euro dr – the article is quite old now but still makes valid points – i dont know how things stand today but have a read and let me know what you think
