I spent 16 years in drag racing, and the items listed are
common knowledge amongst participants, and engine builders.
A few statements seem to be superlative, but they are indigenous
to the top fuel sport, and used for relativity.
When I started, 180mph in 8 seconds was thought to
be the limit. Those figures are now 332mph and 4.47.
These are from 500 cu in limit engines.
These statements were formulated several years ago
largely for my tech college students who were curious
about Nitromethane.
Just wait until next year!

Me too. I might incorporate them into my fluid mechanics lectures next
time I teach the course.

No calculations or formulas needed.
As indicated initially, the info sheet is based on common knowledge
facts derived on the track and on the dyno. (not mine)
These facts are used analogously so the layman, (or students), can
somehow relate to the tremendous forces generated here.
Facts such as a 747 loaded fuel burn, etc, are readily available............

Thanks Archie...
I'm sure all of my engineering friends will readily accept that
explanation...
Best... Steve
