Top Fuel smoke
Discussion
Hello, i've been lurking around here for a couple of weeks now,and i've enjoyed what i have read.
Since the start of transmission i have been watching and enjoying the NHRA coverage on Five.
I have a question: A good percentage of the Fuel cars lay down "top-end" smoke, when they clear the lights and lift-off. When i attended the drags on a regular basis, this sort of smoke was an indication of burnt cylinder heads/piston/ring-land, is this still true, or is there another explanation?

Hello,
thankyou for your promt reply's. 11,000 r.p.m.! nitro-besty, i was there the day Dennis Priddle ran 6.04 at Santa Pod with the front engined, ex-Donovan "Skyjacker" (i think that's what Donovan named all his cars) So what sort of r.p.m. was Dennis winding that 417 too!
