I raced many years ago in the seventies, B gas Roadster at Island Dragway in New Jersey and met the famous Don Garlits. I took my family there decades later after leaving the US Army as a rookie cop and they were nearly literally blown away. My sons loved it and It’s still a great sport.
If you break down the value of entertainment you get with NHRA, it sure is cheaper and more entertaining than any other sport out there. Motorsports are expensive and NHRA could be doing more to fill those empty seats but over all still one of the best values in all sports. I would not trade my NHRA ticket for any other sport.
Welcome to the club, indeed. Indy is still on my bucket list. Labor day weekend, is the spot. Covid kind of effed everything. You have to go to the WrestleMania of drag racing before you die. The U.S. Nationals!! Glad you enjoyed it Jess!

Might have been the devices microphone but it definitely sounded off...whoever took her there should have made her wear protection...she won't enjoy hearing aids!

It's pretty obvious I did capture her reaction. Their are thousands of comments you could have made. Thank you for choosing the lesser of that group. Derp.
@@evbrower no you did not. you were planning on filming her but distracted and or forgotten what was your plan on was, instead trained on the car to the full blast.
What other rail car runs on Nitro....We talked with them briefly. It's actually a top fuel team from Sweden that was doing testing here for whatever reason.
