Your heart stops you feel wind from the shock/sounds waves and your vision blurs as they go by.

watch at the end when they hit the throttle, There is nothing like that moment. Video can never convey the feeling

this last video compares a street car with a dragster. The dragster hits the throttle for less than a second and yet crosses the finish over a half track ahead

OH yea, I think my dad is going out to that...last weekend he was watching that stuff on tv. I said I just don't get it!

TV is a curse to the sport

you can not "get it" unless you are there

I promise that if you go with him you will.

Everyone I have brought has been blown away by the power.

I love to watch peoples faces the first time they see them go by.

Your heart really does stop and you feel your hair stand up. The grounds pounds and your vision blurs.

Ask him if he would like to meet Larry Dixon or Tony Schumacher
