Default Ever Experience a Top Fueler?

Beautiful Noise. It's about sight, sound, smell, and shake [?]

Get in the pits when they prime the Hemi with alcohol, spin the starter over, ans...

"It's ALIVE". Oh it's loud alright but wait 'til they open the Nitro valve. SAHWEEEEEETTTTTT Crackling exhaust with a scent so sweet it brings many tears to your eyes.

At the line, green light is for 'Good luck and Godspeed' [8)] The pounding on your ears & chest is brief, but extreme.

Go to the top end and experience the lag in the speed of sound as a motorized missile blasts by you at 300MPH+.

Drag racing must be experienced in person. Find a track come Spring and findout when nitro is comin' to town. You're gonna love it []
