Entering the year’s fifth event — this weekend’s SpringNationals in Baytown —...
Driver of the Maynard Family/Scag Power Equipment/Okumas dragster, Schumacher clocked 4.713 at 169.47. Brown had a mishap in his Matco Tools/Lucas Oil dragster, registering 5.086 at 154.65.
“For me, it was a battle royal, and it was cool to see who we raced in that final four,” said Brown, a three-time world champion. “I looked at one side of me — it was eight-time world champion Tony Schumacher. Looked at the other side — it was the four-time world champion Steve Torrence. And all the way over on the other side, it was Brittany Force, who is a Top Fuel champion.
Add it all up, and it comes out that the Top Fuel class is thriving. And it’s not only the success of the veteran drivers that has renewed interest in NHRA. There is a number of young drivers like 2020 Rookie of the Year Justin Ashley, 27, who defeated 2019 Rookie of the Year Austin Prock, 26, in the final round of the 2022 season opener in Pomona, Calif. Both drivers are catching on with fans.
Constructed of chromoly steel tubing and carbon-fiber composite, Top Fuel dragsters are 25-feet long and weigh 2,330 pounds, powered by a supercharged and fuel-injected 500-cubic-inch adaptation of the Chrysler Hemi engine. They can burn up to 15 gallons of nitromethane fuel during a single run.
