The trophy truck vs. funny car post on the FP got me YouTube rabbit-holing and I found this. Pretty interesting, although I can’t say I’d be all that comfortable with a 2.5" fuel line running just below my butt.

Better than sitting on a diff with a clutch/trans between your feet. Front engine dragsters are terrifying.

Yeah, you might as well sit on a grenade.

It’s how Don Garlitts lost half his foot. Clutch explosion.

Any explosion will be damped by strategically placed brass balls.
