The number of people who have driven a Top Fuel Dragster is less than the number of people who have been in space – that should tell you just how limited of a fraternity it is.
A nitromethane-burning 500-cubic inch supercharged Top Fueler is capable of reaching over 4G’s of acceleration, measuring 0-60 MPH in half a second, 0-125 MPH in just over one second, and a whopping 330 MPH in just over 4.5 seconds through a quarter-mile. It’s easily the most intense ride on the planet and the fastest-accelerating four-wheeled vehicle known to man.
But unless you belong to the relatively small fraternity of Top Fuel drivers, it’s virtually impossible to score a ride in one – until now. Australia’s Darren Morgan Racing, in conjunction with Powercruise Promotions’ Michael Gilbert, have joined forces to provide the world with the first two-seat Top Fueler anywhere, and you can purchase a ride in it if your pockets can support the chance at the thrill of a lifetime.
Unfortunately, you’ll have to go to Australia, as the two-seater’s home is in The Land Down Under, but Powercruise Promotions has put together a package to allow anyone with the coin to ride along during the course of a race weekend.
The Two Seat Top Fuel Experience includes, of course, a ride in the fastest two-seat car in the Southern Hemisphere, along with tickets into the race, the opportunity to help prepare the car, a safety briefing, photos with the team, a t-shirt, food and beverages, and more.For the low, low sum of $6,493.01 (today’s conversion rate into $6,990 Aussie cash) plus the cost of a flight to Kangaroo Land, you can make it happen. We ran a quick search this morning and the flight will set you back somewhere around $2,000 for a coach seat. Start looking through those couch cushions now!
