Top Methanol Funny Car - TMFC
The Dodge Avenger funny car

THE METHANOL FUNNY CAR HAS RECENTLY BEEN SOLD TO TEAM MIKAEL LARSSON, SWEDEN WHO WILL OPERATE THE CAR STARTING JUNE-07 IN COOPERATION WITH TEAM KÅGERED.
Power: Circa 3.500 horsepowers. Accelerates 0-100 km/h in less than a second
Chassis: Built by S & W Race Cars in Pennsylvania, U.S.A. Made by seemless tubing. Body: Dodge Avenger from Hairy Glass in Florida. Made of lightweight carbon fiber. Car operated and owned by Team Kågered.
Engines: Bob Newberry V-8 engines of 518 cui. (8.4 liters) with approximately 3.500 horsepowers. We use two identical engines.
Clutch: Crower 3-disc clutch. The discs and floaters are grinded in a specially designed machine between every run to keep the basic setup measures as equal as possible at all times.
Transmission: Lenco 3-speed with reverse. Gears are airshifted by use of buttons on the steering wheel.
Rear axle: Chrisman live axle (9.5')
Blower: Screwblower made by Lysholm/Autorotor, Sweden (also manufactured by Whipple in the U.S.)
Wheels: Weld Racing The wheels are changed once in a while, since the lightweight material can be somewhat exhausted if it goes through many rough, shaky rides.
Fuel Pure Methanol. The type of fuel have given its name to the class, top methanol funny car (there are also top metanol dragsters). The race car consume approximately 25 liters of fuel during each run (402.33 meters). The fuel is what cools the engine, which means a car like this can not run for very long before it overheats. Therefore all top methanol cars are towed to the start area and back from the end of the track to the pit area after each run (like the top fuel cars).
Miscellaneous: Race Pack on board computer.
