Perhaps you could find some regulations of real gragsters and then make your model accordingly?

Do you reallize that there are some top fuel dragster kits that you can buy off the shelf? Revell (or AMT) makes at least 1, I have it at home!

Yes Revell make alot of Top Fuels, I think there is around 8. There are alot of antique Revell drag kits at my model store, I should try to get some pictures of them one day. Midnight Racer, ask Pman about top fuels, he built one or two.
