You might be thinking of the rocket cars that NHRA banned several years ago.
The jets do not compare to the current Top Fuel cars.

So Chris, what does your imagination tell a jet's standing quarter mile
ET is? If NHRA banned them I'm glad, they use to take so...... much time
away from serious drag racing. I been on the drag strip with them, and
took 8 mm pictures of them while they were there, couldn't even get them
in the same frame when the light turned green:
