[QUOTE="meekracer, post: 105979, member: 3443"] first of all - we only run 1000 feet in top fuel- tracks are no longer able to handle a fast car coming to a stop in 1320 feet (1/4 mile) we have multiple stages of clutch and fuel management- a better example would be an Alcohol dragster with about 4000 hp, but unable to use multi stage clutch-those cars really prove the equation of tire slippage is much more advantageous than clutch slippage which still occurs. the clutch can never fully lock up (but we try) the ideal would be 100 % lock up on the clutch and slight slippage of the tires. It is a fine tight rope to walk and alcohol cars are now able to run 5.1 sec quarter miles at 270 mph--the mph shows the clutch lock up with the most hp. you will often see 2 cars run a similar et, but10 to 15 mph difference through the traps- this is explained by clutch lock up vs tire slippage on the computer tape- hope that makes some sense of an inexact science..
