NHRA Spring Nationals
« on: March 29, 2008, 09:09:53 PM »
Well, I have watched more TV in the past 4 days that I did all year because I am letting the knee heal.  I just finished watching the NHRA Spring Nationals and I am just stunned with the funny cars.  A while back there was a funny car thread I started.  It focused on the power these motors make.  Anyway, today they were talking about the fuel pressure these engines need.  Get this, 500 to 700 pounds of fuel pressure!  No wonder when they blow up they go boom.

Oh, and Ashley Force is not only fast but she is one good looking woman!
