As those watching took in the excitement of hearing and seeing a Top Fuel dragster in person, Dr. Doug Brittsan, of Brittsan CPT, measured the movement of the earth with a mobile seismograph.
Once the dragster had been shut off, Dr. Brittsan got to work evaluating the data. End results? The movement of the earth created by the Snap-on Tools Top Fuel dragster was equivalent to an astounding 3.9 on the Richter scale.

I'm even just as amazed at the toy! Pretty cool!
This video starts with about 20 seconds of commercial, so quick, go get a cold drink to enjoy while you watch!
For a photo gallery of Don's hemicuda and transporter that I took at SEMA: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/don-prudhommes-funny-car-hauler-1967.html
I also recommend you take a look at Tere's post, Don invited her to hop inside the hauler as he showed her how it was restored: http://justacargal.blogspot.com/2009/11/sema-celebrities.html
