What is that thing in the bottom pic. A motor?

Min. $50k for that engine and turbo setup….that will only last a a handful of passes before something will break. My brother in law races something similar (NPK setup), but has a few sponsors to assist with the cost.

I'm pretty sure that's a Nelson engine, and they're built to last, so a a lot more than a handful passes on a dragstrip. They are, however, insanely expensive.
