I love drag racing for the technology, noise and speed; plus its relationship to, and derivation from, real street racing. A NHRA fuel engine churns 6000+ horsepower, more output in one cylinder than an entire Winston Cup car.

Granted, the fuelie will put out 10x the HP, but the WC engine has to stay together 2000x longer.

And an irrigator engine has to run for 30 straight days. A NASCAR race is like a baseball game. A top fuel race is like an orgasm.
