 I know this car quite well, belongs to my former boss. Somewhere in the region of seven and a half litres...

 Cracking pics mate, shame I missed this one. I'll be at Shakespeare County later in the year...

They certainly are fun. There were a couple of top fuel cars testing when I last went. Those things are out of this world. What blew me away was that one of them shut down after only a couple of seconds on the power (blower belt got shredded and went about 100 feet into the air!). It trundled along the 1/4 mile and still crosed the line at over a ton. :o

 Aye, I've been a few times (luckily OH is a budding petrolhead so loves it too...) - it is essentially a field, a strip of tarmac, and a few sheds (one on stilts)... great place though. Last I was at was the Minis vs Beetles...

 Not as fast as the slowest car there  ;D ;D

 Have you noticed that nearly all the cars are "Yank Tanks"  ::) ::) I wonder why (no corners)  ;D ;D
