    You tube gives us a plethora of experiences. I enjoyed drag racing for a bunch of years. The race ends almost as fast as it starts. A lot wonder, how can that be any fun at all. Well how can you riding a roller coaster be fun? Think of this as the most scary thing you can do. Ride along with a famous drag racer and get an insiders view of this event. By the way, current drag racers exceed 330 mph and do so in

    Well, let's look at the print out. Top Fuel dragsters are the quickest accelerating racing cars in the world and the fastest sanctioned category of drag racers, with the fastest competitors reaching speeds of 335 miles per hour (539 km/h) and finishing the 1,000 foot (305 m) runs in 3.64 seconds.

    My brother in law drags pickups. They are right around the 6 second mark. Doesn't sound as fast but considering it is a four door dodge that is stock other than the engine and transmission that is a lot of weight to get moving.
