Yeah.
But funny thing is.
When you say “top fuel” it usually means the top fuel dragsters.
But the funny cars are nitro also with the same engines. It’s stupid.

My first Harley was an ‘87. That thing had a wonderful weird motor. It had multiple personalities, all of them totally likable party animals.

My ‘03 dresser lost the soul but had amazing reliability.

I’m of an age where soul becomes priority #2.
