I've seen a lot of superchargers blown off the top of a motor, and crankcases break on dragsters and pullers, but never THAT!

Just imagine the force that would have to be applied in a downward direction to throw that amount of weight that far, AND break the mounts!

Dangerous sport, that.   And expensive, too.   That's probably a $50,000 event ....

I certainly don't know these machines but one comment on that sight says that what you see IS the heads
and blower.

On a closer look, I think that's right!   I'm just not used to the SCALE of those things ..... !

Look closer. That isn't the whole engine, the bottom is still in the frame. Split the block in half. Those guys are running above 150# boost now. Nobody knows for sure just how much, maybe not even them.

 The last voice heard on radio from the Challenger space shuttle was a very distinct, "UH OH!"

 I Suppose the truck driver probably said something a bit more obscene.  Then still being alive he probably tried to elaborate.
