Top fuel dragsters are powered by supercharged nitromethane-burning V8 engines that produce over 11,000 horsepower. They are designed to accelerate as quickly as possible in a straight line over a quarter-mile distance, reaching speeds exceeding 300 mph in under 4 seconds. Dragsters use huge slick tires at the rear to provide traction and have aerodynamic designs to minimize air resistance at high speeds.
Dragsters can be classified based on their engine type (e.g. top fuel, funny car), body style (e.g. rail, altered), and class designation (e.g. Super Comp, Top Alcohol). They can also be categorized by their level of competition, such as professional or sportsman drag racing.
Top Fuel dragsters are limited to a 300 inch sheel base. The car would be over 30 feet long.
