The best part of that is the safety aspect-- if a fuel rail stands up, the car will wedge between the dome and the track surface, preventing a crash and allowing the driver to simply climb out.

Racing in a "hot house". That's awesome.

I've heard that Ohio natives the Arfons family have been contracted to build and install the jet-powered exhaust system to keep the dome air clean and healthy for the drivers. It's great that the practical aspects are at the forefront.

That is correct. They are going to use some Allison engines and real airplane propellors. I think its just another way of NHRA trying to slow the pro cars down; they are going to blow the air from the big end back towards the tree so that the cars are always driving into a headwind.
