A sufficiently good bull**** artist can usually talk his way into a
backseat ride off one of Uncle Sugar's flattops, which is a slam that
beats even the jet and rocket cars on a dragstrip. The ship is less
than a quarter mile long and the cats use half, if even that, and you
go off the bow at 200+. After that, Top Fuel or AA/FC is a yawner.

Jet dragsters are not quite as impressive, but they are still faster
and far, far cheaper to run than Top Fuel. If Nitromethane went the way
of hydrazine at publicly spectated events I'd shed no tears.
