Building a Top Fuel Dragster

[Nitro Dude]

For anyone that might be interested in what goes into building a top fuel dragster and how the different systems on the car works might like these videos that long time crew chief Rob Wendland made. Here are the first 2 episodes he has downloaded. The first one basically shows a lot of the fittings, airlines and other parts that will go on the car. The second video shows more of the electronics and what functions they do on the car.

Here is another series of videos Rob made when he was replacing the front half on a top fuel dragster a few years ago.

They are back at the shop and welding the fuel tank and running some blowers on the blower dyno.
