Allen Johnson's Mopar Dodge Avenger Pro Stock. Pro stock is a class of drag racing featuring "factory hot rods".The class is often described as "all motor", due to the cars not using any form of forced induction such as turbocharging or supercharging, or other enhancements, like nitrous oxide, along with regulations governing the modifications allowed to the engines and the types of bodies used.
Two Top Fuel dragsters side by side during an NHRA event in 2012. Top Fuel is a type of drag racing whose dragsters are the quickest accelerating racing cars in the world and the fastest sanctioned category of drag racing, with the fastest competitors reaching speeds of 338.94 miles per hour (545.5 km/h) and finishing the 1,000 foot (304.8 m) runs in 3.641 seconds.
Forced induction in motorcycles is the application of forced induction (turbochargers or superchargers) to a motorcycle engine. Special automotive engineering and human factor considerations exist for the application of forced induction with motorcycles compared to other forms of motorized transportation.
Pro FWD is a class in drag racing. The E.T. Bracket categories are no-electronics classes. The E.T. Bracket categories are no-electronics classes. Delay devices , throttle stops , air shifters , transbrakes , etc. or any device that transmits real-time, on-track data to the driver or any remote location are prohibited.
In an internal combustion engine, a supercharger compresses the intake gas, forcing more air into the engine in order to produce more power for a given displacement. The current categorization is that a supercharger is a form of forced induction that is mechanically powered (usually by a belt from the engine's crankshaft ), as opposed to a ...
A turbocharger for a car engine A supercharger (on top of a dark-grey inlet manifold) for a car engine. In an internal combustion engine, forced induction is where turbocharging or supercharging is used to increase the density of the intake air. Engines without forced induction are classified as naturally aspirated. [1]
Super Comp (or Quick Rod) is the fastest of the heads-up Super classes (8.90 index).Super Comp is composed primarily of dragsters.Engine, chassis and body modifications are virtually unlimited, though all entries must adhere to NHRA or IHRA safety standards.
The inductive-discharge ignition system operates according to the rules of electromagnetism described by Faraday's Law of Induction which states that the induction of electromotive force (emf) in any closed circuit is equal to the time rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit.
