Yeah, cheers mate, good memories, it'll be my lads 10th year of our "boys weekend away".. he's 17 now, remember taking him for his first dose of top fuel as a 7yr old and it scared the crap out of him, he loves it now.. roll on 2014, take care. All the best

Hate when people stand up in front of you.
er I think that block maybe a bit ruined lol
American top fuel dragsters are a lot faster
The accelleration of them things must be fucking gut-busting!
I enjoyed your video. Great post.
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 http://www.draglist.com/stories/SOD%20Feb%202002/SOD-021502.htm
