Any Drag Racing fans?

Anyone Top Fuel Fans? Funny Car fans?
Favorite drivers?

Anyone experienced being blinded by Nitro?

It is great

Anyone go to the National event in Norwalk last July?

Anyone actually race themselves? What class?

I am suprised. No Drag Racing fans?

It must mean none of you have ever been to one with Top Fuel.

If you ever go you will be hooked

Mark June 27-29 for Norwalk. If any decide to go I can introduce you to some of the top drivers. Tony Schumacher, Larry Dixon and others.

It is like watching the space shuttle launch. Words cannot describe it. For the guys who like power. You will be amazed.

I went to Eastern Creek back in Aus several years ago.

All i remember is the smell of burning rubber and it being LOUD! Kinda interesting, but i never got hooked.

Was it Top Fuel though.

There is a big difference. The other classes are loud but they do not shake the ground and blur you vision and cause your heart to miss a beat.

Nitro Methane is totally different from gas or alcohol.

I know there are very few Top Fuel cars outside of the U.S.

Let me know if you want to go.

Did you take a deep breath of nitro fumes?

awesome huh?

It is tear gas.

My favorite smell.

How close did you stand when they left the starting line?

The cars in Aus. are about 5 years behind the cars here. Maybe you could go in June.

much more environmentally sound, less noise, no pollution and a lot more smiling faces
