The National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) is a drag racing association that holds events at drag strips all over the country. Since its establishment by Wally Parks in 1951, the NHRA has grown to become the largest drag racing organization in the world. Recently, the organization started a partnership with FOX Sports to broadcast events from various tournaments.
There are different drag racing classes and forms at NHRA events. They include Funny Car, Pro Stock, Top Alcohol, Funny Car, and Top Fuel. Cars in the Top Fuel class usually weigh about 2,330 pounds and have a length of 25 feet. They can cover a drag strip within 3.7 seconds at a speed of more than 330mph. Top Fuel cars also consume up to 15 gallons of nitromethane fuel in one run. Vehicles in this class are usually constructed with carbon-fiber composite and Chromoly steel tubing. Because the Top Fuel class is one of the most significant in the NHRA, drag racers in this class are often called “kings of the sport.”
