Nitro Funny Car - a photo on Flickriver

Nitro Funny Car

Minus its fiberglass body this is the bones of a funny car seen at the NHRA Virginia Nationals held at the Virginia Motorsports Park in Dinwiddie, VA. Running on Nitromethane fuel (at one time this was used for rocket fuel) and sporting over 11,000 horsepower a good run down the 1/4-mile track would be in excess of 330 MPH and less than 4 seconds. As a spectator the extreme noise, heat, smell and shock waves that these cars leave behind when they make their run is indescribable. As the saying goes, you would have to be there to believe it.

John Force, a legend in drag racing was driving one of these funny cars (not the car above) on Sunday at this track when he had a horrific accident shown in the video link below.
