   those were known as …
   those were known as “match bash” cars,as those had their front- and rear axle centerlines moved way up forward as related to their factory counterparts on which they were based upon; most of those early “floppers” ran some slightly upgraded engines -roller cams,forged intenals,roots-style blowers,etc-,and had SUV-like ride heights,but their overall action factor was unquestionably beyond redline,so talk about drag-racing history

   Well…When you are …
   Well…When you are running these supercharged engines at top end they are only at 5000+ Hp.

   And then when you lose traction and pedal it you tend to mix up the firing sequence just a bit. That is when you lose cylinders…pistons…blowers…throw rods.

   Add to that the fact that nitromethane, although it burns cooler than gasoline, is just a tad bit more on the explosive side…

   Perhaps your question needs to be written as how can their engines hold together for a 300+ m.p.h. run?

16. FuelCoupe say:

    The car is a …
    The car is a Funny-Car. In drag racing there are different classes of cars one of which is Funny-Car so named because in the early days the cars were made from stock looking cars but the rear wheels were moved back which made them look “funny”. The term “funny car” was just away of describing the class these cars compeated in, it has since become the official name for the class. I can see how people make the mistake and think funny as in haha though.
