Thumbs up If you ever get a chance...

...go what an NHRA event in person! few things these days leave me in awe but today did. top fuel dragsters making 6000 hp going down the track will literally make your insides hurt. i was about 100 feet from the track when the top fuel dragsters went by and my eyes could not keep the cars focused due to the concusion and the fumes the engines create.

it is a fan friendly motorsport were you can go into the pits and watch the teams tear down a motor and put it back together in an hour plus talk to the drivers and crew. i have a new found respect for the people who drive alcohol funny cars and top fuel dragsters. they are sick!

the show comes back to town in april and i will most definitely go again!
