(We all know what hyd lock is right?ok) That is one of the principles of max power, max fuel, max compression, etc... but what he said that was os funny was that operating a top fuel motor the way they do is kinda like plunging a toilet with a hand grenade..it works, but it's really tough on the toilet.

thats true i think i read/ heard that somewhere too

dude that's me right there. God I love the smell of those cars. When we go to the race track me and my mom stand there and see who starts to cry first. I usually win but when they shut it down theres usually ony a couple of us still standin there front and center. And usually my mom is the only woman within 100 yards lol

Me too! I might know someone that can get me a bit of nitro if you're willin to try it Mike?! I take it that you've never been to an NHRA race eh Mike? That is something you need to do cause there is nothing like it! When the Top Fuel cars leave the line the ground shakes and your eyes blur! God I love that feeling, like Jeff said the burning eye's and throat deal when you're standing there in the pits while the cars are runnin, ain't much better than that!!! Yes I am a redneck too Mike! I miss when my buddy ran UMP dirt late models at Kankakee and LaSalle Speedway, all his cars ran on straight methanol, again the eye and throat burning when we ran the cars in his garage with the doors closed till we couldn't stand it! lmao Maybe that's what's wrong with me?
