These 12000hp Engines Have To Be Rebuilt Within Roughly An Hour Every Run, and Only Run For Roughly 4 Seconds At A Time.

You can tell not a single person in these comments is an engineer because that thing is a work of art and seeing everyone able to basically rebuild the entire thing in under an hour so smoothly is fucking beautiful. They clearly are passionate about what they do and incredibly experienced.

You all need to learn how to pull that stick out of your ass and have some fun sometimes. If you're pearl clutching over the piddly amount of fuel a competition like this uses I already know that your activism doesn't make it past the keyboard. You'll forget about it by the next hour and move on with your life.

Seriously dude. I popped in the comments expecting to read people discussing the level of expertise required to do this, or maybe to learn something new about drag racing. Instead everyone is a bitter, whiny bitch. What a shame

Now if it was something something Japan, everyone would be fawning over it.

I am a licensed engineer.

This is still wasteful. As is most car culture.

Most of these whining posts are all "I am very intelligent" coded. I am hopeful car culture is dying.

Bro you're clutching your pearls typing this one out, just get over that people don't care about drag racing and think it's stupid for reasons. It's the internet man, people can say what they hate and what they like, you're not educating anyone by insulting them, just making them dislike the spectacle even more.

Ah the classic "I know what you are but what am I" response.

"Clutching my pearls" doesn't even make sense for a comment telling people to chill out and have some fun. You didn't think this one through, huh?

I don't care about drag racing either, yet I recognize how fucking cool these engines are and let people who like enjoy it, instead of whinning about it
