So much power, your teeth (and the camera) will chatter. 😍 Go on board with Matt Hagan and the Dodge Mopar Motorsports team as he warms up ahead of Q1 at NHRA's #BrainerdNats!
Been right next to one of these during start up. I don't know how these guys deal with the nitro methane. My eyes and nose began to burn like I had just eaten a habanero chili pepper!!!
Like anything, you can build a tolerance to it. It'll still get some crewpeople depending on the wind and where they are standing. Some just won't admit it gets to them lol.
Driving it, NOT working on it, haha. Friday night qualifying, the car goes through the lights......KABOOM! Owner/driver go back to the hotel. The crew wrenches all night to put it back together. Those guys earn their money!!!!!!
It sucks, but it costs money and performance. They are fun to do too. Wish the nhra would pay like a stipend for them, or if there was a way to madate AND enforce them.
