I never go to the track but I'm interested in physics and anything mechanical. Thanks for the info! It's pretty cool to see what actually works in the real world.

It's worth clicking on the link just for the picture on the first page.  But I saved the info too so count my thanks as well.

Good link

but one question... what is rake???

[Ghoste]

Looking at the side profile of the car it is the amount that it is nose down.  Passenger cars are typically level and Top Fuel Funny Cars generally have a great deal of "rake".
