drag racingForm of motor racing in which two contestants race side by side from a standing start over a straight quarter-mile strip of pavement. Winners go on to compete against others in their class until only one is left undefeated. There are three main classes of vehicle: (1) the Top Fuel Eliminator (called a “rail” or “slingshot”), a lightweight, long-chassied vehicle with wide rear tires that is fueled by a special mixture, such as methanol and nitromethane; (2) the “funny car,” a high-performance copy of a late-model production car that uses special fuel; and (3) the standard production car, a modified version of a gasoline-powered production car. The Top Fuel class is the fastest, followed by the funny car. Drag racing is most popular in the U.S. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

Insured Andy primarily uses the car for dragracing in the UK Street Eliminator series, and has competed in Britain, Europe and America. He decided after 13 years that he wasn't going to make it as a dragracing pro, so he called upon his mechanical background and opened auto-parts and machine shops in Greencastle and near his childhood home of Coatesville, near the Hendricks-Putnam county line. |
