At one of the NHRA events, we were walking around the pits, and one of the Top Fuel guys was pulling the rod and main bearings out of the bottom of the engine. My buddie says to him, "How long do those bearings usually last?" The guy repied, "About halfway down the track".

Not supprising when you think they put out about 10,000 pounds of torque.
