NHRA

A wheel and rim for a top fuel dragster typically weigh around 10 to 15 pounds (4.5 to 6.8 kg) each. These components are designed to be lightweight yet strong, as they need to withstand extreme forces during high-speed runs. The specific weight can vary depending on the design and materials used, such as carbon fiber or aluminum alloys.

As of my last update, Ron Capps, a professional Funny Car driver in the NHRA, reportedly earns a salary that can range from $1 million to $2 million annually, including sponsorships and prize winnings. His income can vary significantly based on performance, sponsorship deals, and other endorsements. Additionally, successful drivers in the NHRA often have the potential to earn more through various promotional activities and partnerships.

Sponsoring the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) can vary significantly depending on the level of sponsorship and the specific events or teams involved. Costs can range from tens of thousands to several million dollars annually. Factors influencing the price include the type of sponsorship (e.g., title, associate, or event sponsorship), the reach of the event, and the promotional opportunities offered. For precise figures, potential sponsors typically need to contact NHRA directly for tailored proposals.

To fix a dragster that travels off alignment, you can first check and adjust the toe alignment. This involves ensuring that the front wheels are pointing straight ahead and are parallel to each other. Secondly, you can inspect and adjust the camber angle, which is the tilt of the wheels in relation to the ground. Proper toe and camber alignment will help the dragster track straight and reduce any pulling to one side.

A top fuel drag racer can burn between 15-20 gallons of fuel during a single quarter-mile run. These vehicles are extremely powerful and use a specially formulated nitromethane-based fuel that burns quickly to generate high horsepower.

The fastest recorded quarter mile from stopped was driven in the 1970's in a rocket car. The driver would have to lie flat to remain concious, although blood would still come out of his ears and sometimes other orifices due to such high G-forces endured. The fastest recorded time is 3.215 seconds.

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.

It is difficult to provide an exact number as statistics can vary, but drag racing can be a dangerous activity that can result in fatal accidents or injuries. It is important for participants to prioritize safety and adhere to all regulations to minimize risks.

Well,It Counts On What You Do.You First Meet Him Before Petalburg City.When You In Victory Road,At The Very End,You Battle Wally.I Forget The Rest.Youll Figure It Out.Have Fun!

It is very tricky. off the starting line keep an eye on just above the center of your screen for the little blue/green/red icon. Blue=Ok. Green=Perfect. Red=BAD!!!!!!!!! when you see the Green, Shift Up to the next gear (it's the "Y" button if you on the Gamecube, I don't know about the rest). Sometimes your gonna need to Shift Down to go faster, trust me on this one, Buddy. You don't have to steer the car at all!!! It steers it self!!!! all you have to do is chanch lanes as you see cars ahead. you can also drive under the Tractor-Trailors!!!! cool, huh?

drag is the easyiest race all you have to do is learn how to shift using R2 and L2 and use nos wisely

When did they make the first hot-rod

This is only an educated guess, but back in the early part of the 20th century, the main street in any given town was referred to as "the main drag". Since organized drag racing grew from street racing, if you challenged someone to race from one intersection to the next, you are racing on the "main drag", thus "Drag Racing". Now why the street in town was called the "main drag", well, that is another question to be answered elsewhere.

Nowdays there are a lot of women in drag racing. However. There is only 1 Queen of drag racing in my mind. She scratched, and clawed, and some would even say slept her way into drag racing, but that's not important. What is, is what she did when she got there. She backed down from no man, in fact challenged the best, she has many firsts in the sport, and some records that still stand unmatched, even today. She had her car burst into flames, and take her along with it, only to come back an step up to top fuel, from funny car. She won the seasonal championship, I think more than once, and turned the drag circuit up-side-down! Shirley Muhldowney, I think is how you spell it, was her name, and any woman in motorsports today owes her for paving the way for current standards. Curious? They made a movie about her, that, as far as I know, is pretty factual. Hoyt Axton, Bonnie Bedillia, "Heart Like a Wheel", is the name of it. Great flick.

They usually top out at around 10,000... Most launch around 8k rpm.

Mustang would beat almost any muscle car by racing. Mustang has been known to beat the camaro. Motortrend has been doing tests and so has edmunds and Mustang has been beating the camaro since the 90s the new 5.0 mustang has been a huge popular car as one of the fasest mustang's and the camaro has been out of business since 2005-2009. Mustang's are a classic to ford and the mustang shelby gt500 2010 has been the fastest muscle car of the time. So if your looking for a muscle car pick the mustang!

That would depend on the rig and trailer. The weight and length would also be a contributing factor. The Pro guys with an over-the-road truck and trailer:absolutley. A guy with a pick up and flat bed trailer?? In most states-NO!!

Funny Car is a drag racing car class. Funny cars have forward-mounted engines and carbon fiber automotive bodies over the chassis, giving them an appearance vaguely approximating manufacturers' showroom models. The first funny cars were built in the mid-'60s and so-called because the rear wheels had been moved forward on the chassis to improve weight transfer under acceleration, increasing traction on the rear tires, which were oversized compared to stock. Looking at the cars, they didn't quite look stock, hence the name "funny."

Two drag racing cars go to the starting position, and the drivers wait for a light to turn from red to green. As soon as the light turns green, they floor the gas pedal and go as fast as they can up to the finish line. Then, the drivers deploy the parachute so they can stop, because a braking system would just weigh down the machine, and brakes are not adequate to stop a drag racing car from going over 300 miles an hour to 0. Then, the winners is announced with the exact times, and they start over with another pair of cars.

John Force is a 14 time Funny Car Champion and a 16 time championship car owner champion, as far as what he makes in salary fluctuates and is his private business.

Basically, how fast your car is is what determines what class you run in, when it comes to bracket racing. They wikk have brackets from, say, 14.99 and slower, 12.50 to 13.99, 10.99, to 12.49, and so on. In class racing you build a car to compete in a certain class, by the rules governed by NHRA, in their official rule book.
