Jet Dragster Facts

Low ET of 5.27 seconds at 311 mph in the 1/4 mile & a low ET of 3.51 seconds at 225 mph in the 1/8 mile.

One Pratt & Whitney J-60 engine makes more horsepower than the first 4 rows at the NASCAR Daytona 500.

This engine was originally in Lockheed's JetStar and North American's Saberliner corporate jet.

This dragster uses 21 gallons of Kerosene, Jet-A per run.

The rear tires are the same that are used on a NASCAR Sprint Cup car.

This engine inhales approximately 800 cubic feet of air per second and at this rate it could inflate 7 Goodyear blimps in one minute.

This car travels the 1/4 mile (1320 ft.) in five seconds which is the equivalent of a football field in just one second.

  
Jet dragsters reach over 300 miles per hour before you have completed reading this sentence.

The red-line is actually quite high at 22,000 rpm.

Putting All Of This Into Perspective:

You are driving the average $140,000 Lingenfelter "twin-turbo" powered Corvette Z06. Over a mile up the road, a jet dragster is staged and ready to launch down a quarter mile strip as you pass. You have the advantage of a flying start. You run the 'Vette hard up through the gears and blast across the starting line and past the dragster at an honest 200 mph. The 'tree' goes green for both of you at that moment. The jet dragster launches and hunts after you. You keep your foot down hard, but you hear an incredibly brutal whine that sears your eardrums and within 4 seconds the jet dragster catches and passes you. He beats you to the finish line, a quarter mile away from where you just passed him.  Think about it, from a standing start, the jet dragster had spotted you 200 mph and not only caught, but nearly blasted you off the road when he passed you within a mere 1320 foot long race course.
