    The deflection on the tires for Top Fuel and Funny Car just blows my mind. How the heck do they stay together I always wonder......

    they must go through tires like crazy.

    If you look at the top fuel army car, you can also see how much the frame is bending. I wonder what the lifespan of a frame for one of those cars is? Can't be very long I would figure with all that flexing going on.

    They do high speed film in testing to accurately check hook-up. I've watched it and it is crazy the tire stays on the wheel the way they flex and twist.....

    They build that flex into the frame to act as a sort of supension... helps with the violent launch to keep the rear tires planted
