Exactly, notice that there is no belt driving the water pump pulley other than the one connected to the motor :D

youll see alot of drag cars at the track like that. more or less an old school electric water pump setup. i would imagine the idea behind it is primarily to be able to circulate the coolant in the pits.

Yeah its not for street use! Haha drag only. Like joe sed only to cool the car off in the pits. They only run the pump at like 1700 rpm.
