Thank you for the explanation, now I get it. Back in the early `80's a few Formula 1 race teams began using engines that became know as qualifying grenades. Their hp was increased so much that they lasted 2/3 laps before "grenading" themselves. They were essentially the "flank speed" of Formula 1 engines. They were outlawed because not all teams could afford them.
