Felt like this was the place to post it, Saturday was the first time I have ever seen a car go down the drag strip... I'm hooked and want to build something.
Your life must have sucked, until now.
Yeah I can't believe it either.Your life must have sucked, until now.
I still need to post the video, the shop truck did a 10.50@127mph
I have a few photos from the Kingman Street races TS Rachel ruined a couple weeks ago.
1 late model Mustang ran 160mph 1/8 fastest run of the weekend as the air cooled off on Saturday

If just watching got you hooked you are going to be over the top making a pass yourself.
Oh I'm sure of it, maybe next year i'll run the 82 at the duct tape drags. Would be much cooler if it gets boosted by then.If just watching got you hooked you are going to be over the top making a pass yourself.
I had tickets one year but got sick.You haven't witnessed drag racing, until you've been present for a top fuel run.
Go to a few weekend bracket races, then go to a race w blown alcohol or nitro chaos type cars, then go to an NHRA national event.
I’ve been watching the top tier cars since they only made 1500hp, now they’re at 12,000. It still amazes me every time.
And be sure and get baptized by nitro. Stand right at the front of the pit rope when they do the tuneup startup about 1 to 1-1/2 hours before they run.

Eileen has a friend in town. I announced that I was heading to the backside racing at Knoxville dragway. I got a raised eyebrow from her. Eileen had to explain it. I was impressed that Eileen remembered what it is.
Nitro doesn’t care what its made out of, its gonna break it!
Check out the engine position and the entire clutch ca w part of the crank and #7&8 rods still attached to the input of the clutch.

That’s beautiful carnage right there !
NITRO is amazing and just as you put it “it will break anything”.
And now for the drag race newcomer -
Being present at even just a Pro Mod event is un-frigg’n real and Top Fuel is indescribable !
All your senses are gett’n a workout - visual is spectacular, the smell of fuel is so intense your eyes will do more than water up; you will actually cry, and as for the sound - ya’ gotta wear ear plugs but don’t worry because most of what you’re hearing you will actually feel it in your chest.
It’s all frigg’n amazing!!
In the 90’s while I worked at a speed shop it was part of my job to attend the local drag races and every Pro Mod event just so the racers could put a face to who they were dealing with over the phone - felt guilty for taking a paycheck…
I'm guessing he got that line from me, I made that up over 20 years ago after standing at the starting line with the Top Fuel class.
