You Dont.
The lighter the dragster is for its horsepower, the faster it will go. This is why the front frames and tires are so relatively flimsy.
Some dragsters can do the quarter mile in under 5 seconds.
You can find materials to build CO2 dragsters at several companies: Hearlihy http://www.hearlihy.com/store/default.aspx?CategoryID=131&by=9&c=1 Pitsco http://shop.pitsco.com/store/default.aspx?CategoryID=84&by=9&c=1 Also, lots of good dragster info at Science of Speed http://www.science-of-speed.com/
its ran in NHRA top fuel dragsters and funny cars, it burns really hot and extremaly fast
the co2
Rear engine dragsters are more aerodynamic and provide better traction.
1/4 mile top fuel dragsters can do the 1/4 mile under 5 seconds

they are locked into place, directly in front of a pressurised pin. when the timed hits 0 the pin punctures the soft material at then of the canister and the rush of the pressurised CO2 gas trying to reach atmospheric pressure and to escape, propels the craft down the strip.
Top fuel dragsters regularly hit 300mph by the quarter-mile mark.
