Dragsters are long in order to maximize stability and reduce aerodynamic drag. The length helps distribute weight evenly along the vehicle, improving traction and preventing wheelies during acceleration. Additionally, a longer body allows for a more gradual increase in speed, reducing the likelihood of losing control at high velocities.
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.
Rear engine dragsters are more aerodynamic and provide better traction.

Some use gasoline, some use alcohol, and the top fuel dragsters burn nitro methane.
Top fuel dragsters regularly hit 300mph by the quarter-mile mark.
