Producing 6000 horsepower Top Fuel cars are the most powerful dragsters. They are difficult to capture at speed and this was the best shot I got of one at Santa Pod Raceway last year. The car is doing about 240mph at this point and it is interesting to note the exhaust flames and tyre distortion which shows that it is still trying to spin the wheels even at this speed.
