10000匹馬力起步時，輪胎瞬間變形

What 10,000 horsepower does to a top fuel tire at launch.

TOP FUEL ACCELERATION PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE

* One Top Fuel dragster 500 cubic-inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower (10,000 HP) than the first 5 rows at the Daytona 500.

* Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1.2-1.5 gallons of nitro methane per second; a fully loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same rate with 25% less energy being produced.

* A stock Dodge Hemi V8 engine cannot produce enough power to merely drive the dragster's supercharger.

* With 3000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into a near-solid form before ignition. Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock at full throttle.

* At the stoichiometric 1.7:1 air/fuel mixture for nitro methane the flame front temperature measures 7050 degrees F.

* Nitromethane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing exhaust gases.

* Dual magnetos supply 44 amps to each spark plug.
This is the output of an arc welder in each cylinder.

* Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed during a pass. After 1/2 way, the engine is dieseling from compression plus the glow of exhaust valves at 1400 degrees F. The engine can only be shut down by cutting the fuel flow.

* If spark momentarily fails early in the run, unburned nitro builds up in the affected cylinders and then explodes with sufficient force to blow cylinder heads off the block in pieces or split the block in half.

* Dragsters reach over 300 MPH before you have completed reading this sentence.

* In order to exceed 300 MPH in 4.5 seconds, dragsters must accelerate an average of over 4 G's. In order to reach 200 MPH well before half-track, the launch acce leration approaches 8 G's.

* Top Fuel engines turn approximately 540 revolutions from light to light!

* Including the burnout, the engine must only survive 900 revolutions under load.

* The redline is actually quite high at 9500 RPM.

* THE BOTTOM LINE: Assuming all the equipment is paid off, the crew worked for free, & for once, NOTHING BLOWS UP, each run costs an estimated $1,000 per second.

0 to 100 MPH in .8 seconds (the first 60 feet of the run)
0 to 200 MPH in 2.2 seconds (the first 350 feet of the run)
6 g-forces at the starting line (nothing accelerates faster on land)
6 negative g-forces upon deployment of twin ‘chutes at 300 MPH An NHRA Top Fuel Dragster accelerates quicker than any other land vehicle on earth . . quicker than a jet fighter plane . . . quicker than the space shuttle.

The current Top Fuel dragster elapsed time record is 4.420 seconds for the quarter-mile (2004, Doug Kalitta). The top speed record is 337.58 MPH as measured over the last 66' of the run (2005, Tony Schumacher).

Putting this all into perspective:

You are driving the average $140,000 Lingenfelter twin-turbo powered Corvette Z06. Over a mile up the road, a Top Fuel dragster is staged & ready to launch down a quarter-mile strip as you pass. You have the advantage of a flying start. You run the 'Vette hard up through the gears and blast across the starting line & pass the dragster at an honest 200 MPH. The 'tree' goes green for both of you at that moment.

The dragster launches & starts after you. You keep your foot down hard, but you hear an incredibly brutal whine that sears your eardrums & within 3 seconds the dragster catches & passes you.
He beats you to the finish line, a quarter-mile away from where you just passed him. Think about it - from a standing start, the dragster had spotted you 200 MPH & not only caught, but nearly blasted you off the road when he passed you within a mere 1320 foot long race!

That's acceleration!

"Beyond the podium places, Colombia’s Frank Carreno took 4th place in 18:25. The next four athletes were separated by only two seconds, with 5th going to Japan’s Roji Watanabe and 6th to the fast improving Wai Ching Soh from Malaysia."

"It is also great to see some relative newcomers to the sport, such as Wai Ching Soh and Muhua Jian, climb up the rankings and perhaps start to challenge the established leaders."

Thanks for a good write up from DH on Towerrunning World Association - Towerrunning Tour Final 2018 at Shanghai Tower, 2nd Tallest Tower in the World with a total steps climb of 3398 steps, 119 floors and 552 meter elevation climb.

Year 2019 Goal - Top 5 in Towerrunning World Ranking!

Race Report (long)
Towerrunning 200 - Towerrunning Tour 2018 Final
Shanghai Tower – Shanghai – November 25

On November 25, the 2018 Towerrunning Tour Final took place at the Shanghai Tower. This was to be the first race of a three-year deal agreed between the TWA and the Shanghai Tower. As such, the 2018 Towerrunning Tour would finish at the end of November.

Although there were no less than six towerrunning races taking place on the same weekend, 9 of the top ten women would be competing; 9 of the top ten men would also be racing.

The tower itself, completed in 2015, is the second tallest in the world standing at 632m tall and towering over Shanghai’s numerous other skyscrapers. Even the 492m high Shanghai World Financial Center looks a long way down from the top of this tower!

The race would see the athletes ascend more than half a vertical kilometre to 552m over 119 floors up an incredible 3,398 steps. This was undoubtedly a worthy season finale! The aforementioned changes to the Towerrunning Tour meant that year-end TWA rankings would be decided by positions in the November rankings.
Heading into the race, the ladies’ Towerrunning Tour 2018 winner was yet to be decided. The destiny of this year’s trophy would be between World Champion Suzy Walsham (AUS) and Cindy Harris (USA). Although holding the #1 position in the rankings prior to the race, even victory for Suzy would not guarantee her the Towerrunning Tour crown. Due to scores being dropped from the last Towerrunning Tour final held in Changsha back in January, it was potentially going to be incredibly tight on points between these two; a win for Suzy coupled with a second place for Cindy, would see the American take the trophy by just two points…
The race for 3rd place was wide open, with no less than four contenders across three continents in the running – Dominika Wisniewska-Ulfik from Poland, Mexican Maria Elisa Lopez, China’s Muhua Jian and Zuzana Krchova from the Czech Republic.

On the men’s side, the destiny of this year’s crown had already been determined. Regardless of the result in the Shanghai race, Germany’s Christian Riedl would be taking home the coveted trophy ahead of World Champion Piotr Lobodzinski from Poland. Following this year’s World Championships in early May in Taipei, Piotr’s absence from key races later in the month in Shenzhen and Benidorm where Christian was twice victorious have ultimately given the German an unassailable lead in the standings.
Colombia’s Frank Carreno could still take the runners-up spot from Lobodzinski should he finish ahead and Germany’s Goerge Heimann had an outside chance of claiming 3rd place should results fall his way.

Heading into race, Walsham was undeniably the ladies’ pre-race favourite. The Australian had been unbeaten this year since a rare loss in the Tour season opener in Changsha back in January to Krchova and knew that victory was needed to give her the best possible chance of retaining her Tour crown. However, with Harris only needing to repeat her 2nd place from last year’s race to top the year-end standings, the podium placings would certainly influence the final destination of the trophy. Likely contenders for a top-three placing would be Italy’s Valentina Belotti, runner-up in the World Championship, and Muhua Jian from China.

On the men’s side, there was arguably no clear favourite. Lobodzinski led Riedl in the head-to-head during 2018, but with Christian having the upper hand in the more recent races between the pair. Riedl would also no doubt wish to make up for last year’s agonising loss by a mere 0.9 seconds (despite a having a cold) as well as confirming his #1 ranking by ending the season on a high. Never to be discounted, Australia’s Mark Bourne would also be a threat. Incredibly, the Aussie ran a negative split during last year’s race when finishing in third place.
As race day dawned, the assembled athletes who had travelled from far and wide converged on the Shanghai Tower. Once again, a pre-race medical was required consisting of a blood pressure test and a body temperature check. With the formalities over, race warm-ups could begin!

With the clock ticking down to the race start at 0900 hours local time, the ladies assembled in the start area. The usual time-trial format would apply with athletes released 30 seconds apart. Race order would be determined by current ranking position but in reverse, so Suzy would start last.With all the female elites having started, amongst the race favourites it was Italy’s Belotti who crossed the line first having started earlier in the elite wave. She stopped the clock in 21:44, a competitive time but exactly one minute off Walsham’s winning time from 2017. Next to top the leaderboard was local athlete Jian in 20:56. With Jian’s time remaining unbeaten with only a few runners left in the stairwell, we would soon know the identity of this year’s Towerrunning Tour winner. Back on the stairs, Walsham had overtaken Harris having started only one place behind. The question now was whether the American could still get the 2nd place finish she needed to claim the Tour crown, assuming the Australian took the win. However, should Suzy be unable to eclipse Muhua Jian’s time, Cindy would only need 3rd place, assuming Suzy would finish in 2nd place in this scenario.
Minutes later, it was all over. Suzy clocked a superb 20:35 to take the win whilst also knocking 9 seconds off her own course record. Cindy could only manage 4th place, finishing in 22:42. The World Champion therefore added yet another trophy to her no doubt bursting trophy cabinet! Cindy ends the year as #2 in the year-end rankings and the impressive Muhua Jian jumps to 3rd place following her excellent 2nd place in the Tour final.
Outside of the top four, local athlete Linming Chen finished just four seconds behind Cindy to take 5th place and Aussie Alice McNamara took 6th in 23:22 a fraction ahead of China’s Huiji Zhang.

With the women’s race done and dusted, it was the turn of the men. Reverse order meant that Lobodzinski would be the penultimate starter with Riedl starting last. Bourne was the first runner to dip below 18 minutes in a superb time of 17:41, a massive 28 second PB on his showing from last year. This time would have won last year’s race comfortably, but would it be enough this year? Back on the stairs, Christian had overtaken Piotr! Had the German gone off too fast only to suffer in the latter stages or was he flying? As they approached the finish line, Riedl was still ahead of Lobodzinski…could he beat Bourne’s leading time though? The World #1 crossed the line stopping the clock in an incredible 17:26 taking a huge 30 seconds off Piotr’s course record. The Pole failed to break the 18-minute barrier, clocking 18:07, and would have to settle for 3rd this time around behind Mark. To put the winning time into perspective, Christian averaged a fraction under 195 steps per minute and this was most definitely not a sprint race!
Beyond the podium places, Colombia’s Frank Carreno took 4th place in 18:25. The next four athletes were separated by only two seconds, with 5th going to Japan’s Roji Watanabe and 6th to the fast improving Wai Ching Soh from Malaysia.
So, Christian cemented his #1 standing with race victory and would take home the Towerrunning Tour trophy to Germany. World Champion Piotr finishes the Tour season as runner-up, narrowly ahead of Colombia’s Frank Carreno.

The year end rankings show that collectively, the male and female top tens can count athletes in their twenties, thirties, forties and fifties! It is also great to see some relative newcomers to the sport, such as Wai Ching Soh and Muhua Jian, climb up the rankings and perhaps start to challenge the established leaders.
For now though, big congratulations to both Suzy Walsham and Christian Riedl for winning the 2018 Towerrunning Tour, not to mention winning the Towerrunning Tour Final and not be satisfied with just that, setting a course record too!

Kobe Bryant, often unstoppable, played at a
higher level than even he imagined possible.

The Los Angeles Lakers' star scored a phenomenal 81 points
Sunday night -- the second-highest total in NBA history -- in a
122-104 victory over the Toronto Raptors.

Only Wilt Chamberlain's storied 100-point game nearly 44 years
ago ranks higher.

"Not even in my dreams," Bryant said. "That was something
that just happened. It's tough to explain. It's just one of those
things.

"It really hasn't, like, set in for me. It's about the `W,'
that's why I turned it on. It turned into something special. To sit
here and say I grasp what happened, that would be lying."

The Lakers trailed by as many as 18 points early in the third
quarter, angering Bryant.

"He was ticked off," teammate Lamar Odom said.

When asked what Bryant said at that stage, Odom replied:
"Nothing. That's when it's bad."

Bryant scored 51 points after the Raptors extended a 63-49
halftime lead to 71-53. The Lakers outscored the Raptors 38-14 to
finish the third quarter to go ahead for good.

"That was incredible, remarkable," Odom said.

Bryant, the NBA's leading scorer, left to a standing ovation
with 4.2 seconds remaining, having shot 28-of-46 from the floor,
including 7-of-13 from 3-point range, and 18-of-20 from the foul
line.

With the 18,997 fans at Staples Center chanting "MVP! MVP!"
Bryant made two free throws with 43.4 seconds remaining for his
final points. He scored 27 points in the third quarter, 28 in the
fourth.

"We are on a journey, and to put on a show like this for the
fans here in L.A. is truly something special," Bryant said. "I
grew up in front of these people, and now they are seeing me as an
older, young man."

The 27-year-old Bryant joined the Lakers out of high school, and
is in his 10th NBA season.

Chamberlain scored 100 points for Philadelphia against the New York Knicks at Hershey, Pa., on March 2, 1962, shooting 36-of-63 from the field and 28-of-32 from the foul line while playing all 48 minutes.

Chamberlain had 59 points in the second half -- the only player
with more points in a half than Bryant's 55 after halftime in this
game.

Chamberlain's second-highest total was 78 against the Lakers in
three overtimes on Dec. 8, 1961.

Michael Jordan's career high was 69 points, and only four
players had ever scored more than 70 -- Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor,
David Thompson and David Robinson.

Bryant made it five. His previous career high was 62 points
during a 112-90 victory over Dallas last month -- he sat out the
fourth quarter because of the one-sided nature of the game.

"I was just determined. I was just locked in, tuned into what
was going on out there," Bryant said. "These points tonight
mattered. We needed them. The points I put in the basket were
instrumental. It means a lot more."

Bryant raised his scoring average to an NBA-leading 35.9 points
this season.

"I never imagined I would see history like that," said Devean
George, a teammate of Bryant's with the Lakers for 6½ seasons. "I
can't tell you where that came from. He just kept attacking,
attacking, attacking -- every time he got the ball."

Bryant played nearly 42 minutes, going the entire second half
until being lifted by coach Phil Jackson.

Jackson coached Jordan and the Chicago Bulls to six
championships in the 1990s and the Lakers, with Bryant and
Shaquille O'Neal, to three more titles, from 2000-02.

"That was something to behold," Jackson said. "It was another
level. I've seen some remarkable games, but I've never seen one
like that before."

Baylor held the Lakers' previous franchise record of 71 points
at New York on Nov. 15, 1960. Lakers special assistant Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, saw that game,
too.

"Elgin's game was an incredible performance, also,"
Abdul-Jabbar said. "I don't think there's any comparison. Elgin
did it without 3-point lines. His game was attacking the hoop and
hitting jumpers inside 20 feet. Kobe's range is unreal, and he does
it his way.

"It was a real treat. His ability to shoot from long range and
also attack the hoop, split the defense and get in close for
opportunities near the basket is unique. He's made a niche for
himself, and he deserves it."
