It is completely torn down for inspection as any engine after a
race, weather it's four seconds or five hundred miles, and they do
it in less than thirty minutes. I depends what it's designed to do, like
a truck may go five hundred thousand miles before a major.

Yes, but do they throw the crank away after one run, or does it go a
season? There is a number here. Same with blocks, pistons, con rods,
heads, you name it. At any rate, it's safe to say a crank probably
does not go more than a few miles-including staging, the run, and
slowdown-in its life.

Unless it explodes on the strip, they just ring it and of course
inserts. I've broken many cranks, but I don't think I've seen one in the
pits, probably because of the Magnaflux program. Mostly melted pistons
and their blocks after an oil down, because energy is heat, twelve
thousand horsepower is a lot of heat, even if it is for just four
seconds. They've got to be a really big name to have a spare engine,
like GoArmy or John Force. I go to each of the Pomona Nationals, you
should buy a pit pass and see for yourself:

Drag racing is a hell of a lot of work for four or five seconds of
action. I prefer road racing, especially 12 or 24 hour endurance
racing, where they are out there a long time.
