is a Dragster a type of racing car?
Luis
Dragster
Explanation:
Un "dragster" es un coche o motocicleta diseñado para competir exclusivamente en aceleración, usando pistas especiales en línea recta. En el sentido estricto de la palabra, no es un automóvil "de carreras", puesto que sólo acelera y ello en línea recta, usando muchos un paracaídas de arrastre para detenerse. En general la distancia elegida es de un cuarto de milla. Yo lo dejaría en inglés.

Explanation:
They're [long-body] race cars made for a 'quarter mile' run. It's engines develops enormous power [HP:weight ratio], to make this short distance. They are normally 'supercharged' and burn ultra special-blended fuels [nitrous oxide, methanol, etc]. Check the page(s) devoted to this breed: members.citynet.net/mstafford/dragster.htm - 4k .
