> Dynamometers that can measure the output of a Top Fuel engine exist; however, the main limitation is that a Top Fuel engine cannot be run at its maximum power output for more than 10 seconds without overheating or possibly destroying itself explosively. ... and at that point I'm going "all this is really complicated" and why don't we just strap JATO packs to go karts for faster drag racing? terrestrial rocketry sounds like both a fun, accessible hobby; and one that could generate true insights valuable beyond the sport.
