At take off a top fuel dragster can accelerate at 4.5 g-s launching to its top speed. It takes parachutes to stop these land rockets, and when they are released, the braking power is about 4 g-s. That is more force than a Space Shuttle encounters! Top fuel Dragsters engines are so powerful they are usually heard running up to 8 miles away. They can also cause false earthquake readings on the Richter scale, measuring at 1.5 to 2!
Drag racing is manly sport where two cars face off head-to-head to have the best time down the strip. The winner goes on to the next round while the loser heads to the sidelines. When it comes to Professional Drag Racing the first to cross the finish lines wins. In Sportsman classes though, slower cars can get head starts based on handicap. Handicaps are determined by Indexing or the "Dial in".
