5,500 BHP Songtext
von Paul Williams

Five and a half thousand horsepower is the power plant we talk about
Nitromethane is the fuel and two things to listen out for
When the car first starts running on methanol
And that′s that bell changes to that
Deep cattle on the fuel pump there
Then we get down to the nitro being drawn through the engine
And that bell changes dramatically


The next time that the bell changes is
When Barry has finished the burnout
And he's in three stage
Barry operates a lever in the car and
That switches on the second fuel pump
And then you hear the bell really start to churn your chest
And this is why we all love top fuel so much
That absolutely awesome sight, sound and smell

There we go on the methanol
