I did find it interesting the top fuel speed record is currently held by a woman.

It's sad what's happening to NHRA. Drag strips are being closed just to put in another generic strip mall or a generic housing complex. Car counts in general are down.

I love all forms of racing and I follow Formula 1 the most but there is just something about a Top Fuel Drag Racer that is just untouched. Even Funny Cars are amazing as well.

I will always say that even if you aren't a fan of drag racing or racing in general, go to an NHRA event at least once in your life.

The sounds are incredible and every ticket get you back into their garage area. You can see them have to essential take apart and rebuild a Top Fuel Drag Racer or Funny Car after every run. It's truly one of the only sports left where you can be up close with many of the famous drivers.

Her dad is a top fuel legend and she grew up at the tracks. She is also pretty hot all things considered.

Do your own homework and find your own pictures.

In NHRA the womens have to earn there way. Nothing is given and no quotas or forced drivers. She is the daughter of John Force who holds aboit every record there is in Funny Car. All 3 daughters raced and won but 2 of them stepped back to have families. They grew up in racing. And earned their way which is cool.

Lots of women in drag racing.

It really doesn't take much talent and since they are generally lighter it helps with setting up the car as they can place weight where it gives the most benefit while meeting minimum weight.

When I get high I get high on speed
Top fuel funny car's a drug for me
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart
Always got the cops coming after me
Custom-built bike doing 103
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart
