September/October are too hurricany so we thought about early next year. She was browsing flights for the last 2 weeks of February but I suggested last week of February and first week of March instead which is when she booked flights for. By a lucky coincidence the NHRA drag racing is on the first week of March. Rude not to book a day there. going to the NHRA drag racing should be a nice ending to your holidays bud, have a great time..... my fathering law used to build the engines in the top fuel dragsters, a lot of money involved, once he rebuilt the engine they would run it for 7 mins including the run in that time, then back to the garage to be rebuilt again.... i remember chatting to him about it, the ones he did (back in the day) from memory, were around 9-10,000 hp, something like 2 inch fuel lines and 18 gallons of fuel per run.....that`s some performance...... have a good time bud.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're about 10-12000 hp now depending on who you ask. They could never measure it on a dyno. 0-340mph in 3.6 seconds. Even Toyota make a top fuel engine now. I haven't seen any live drag racing since 2017. I was booked to see it in Vegas in 2020 but we couldn't fly due to the covid thing. Best thing about this trip is our ESTAs are still valid until August 2026, so saves me $28! Quids in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
