@Super Speed,

A go kart huh? Hope you were being sarcastic.
Kind of was Kind of wasn't

I'm pretty sure they gear a fuel car to top out right at the end of the 1/4 (or 1000' now) just like any other drag car.

Here's something to give you guys an idea of how an F1 car would launch and go from a dig.. I know of another one just havent found it yet.. Working on it though.

Looking at the comments, that is a F3 car in the video, nowhere near as fast an F1 car.

you'd have to be a complete moron to want to drive this thing in the 1/4 mile! Not one part of an F1 car is designed for 1/4 mile racing. This is the one car that you should want to dive into a corner with and then go through the corner at 150+...

You're completely right. I'm just discussing it for ***** and giggles.
