holy jesus!

wow that motor is serious. how much does that motor weigh?

I think i could make some room in my engine bay for it...

its right around $ 60,000 with no clutch, trans, ignition,hell the distributor itself is $1,500 or fuel system ,, oh yea and theres a $5,000 computer data system to check how the motor ran after every run all the way down to how much the cluutch is slipping by the drive line speed vs the crank speed

OH Yeah - looks like a lot of fun! Have had the privilege to be around several top fuel funny cars and dragsters on nitro but have never actually seen sand rail races. Were they all single competitor timed races? Can't imaging trying to see where your going if your running a little behind the leader LOL

^^ ha ha

no its a two car race but the other guy in his class that day blew the clutch and the other twoo had motor probs

and ther is know in front they all run within hundreths of each other thtas less than the front wheel
