By the late ‘60s Top Fuel dragsters had become stout, ground-hugging, hunky kings of drag racing. Unfortunately, as cars became more and more stressed to the max, the danger level went through the roof. Dragsters have had many nick names, such as - diggers, rails, rail jobs, slingshots, and eventually grenades!
If you think about it, is it crazy for someone to put on a metallic fire suit, helmet, goggles, and gloves, and strap themselves into a tiny seat with a 4,000 horsepower, supercharged engine that could explode at any point one the race track? YOU BET IT IS!!! But hey, that’s DRAG RACING!!!
