Links to useful sites.
Please feel free to post links to sites with useful drag racing technical info, calculators etc, VW or otherwise.
Just post the link and a quick description of what it is. Please keep discussions to other threads.

Most of you have probably used this one to death, but it's full of drag racing related calculators for those who haven't. ET/MPH 1/8 to 1/4,
HP/Weight etc etc.

Some fuel related links
Sunoco explaining specific gravity http://www.racegas.com/article/26
A bit of info on alcohol, nitromethane etc http://www.turbofast.com.au/racefuel.html although this article does say alcohol engines run about 7.1 - 9.1 afr........
caveat emptor.

I have always found the engine calculator really helpful... For someone who is certainly not an engine builder I found I was able to work out
compression, deck heights and all that jazz myself. Between Dave and I we can figure out how to chuck an engine together! Lol!
