3.9 richter earthquake caused by topfuel dragster

Okay, who knew that a big dragster can cause an earthquake?

"As those watching took in the excitement of hearing and seeing a Top Fuel dragster in person, Dr. Doug Brittsan of Brittsan CPT measured the movement of the earth with a mobile seismograph. Once the dragster had been shut off, Brittsan got to work evaluating the data. His findings determined that the movement of the earth created by the 7,000-horsepower dragster was equivalent to an astounding 3.9 on the Richter scale."
