NHRA Drag Racing
Posted: 19 Jun 2004, 22:49
Well guys I went to see the NHRA drag racing in Englishtown yesterday, and all I can say is WOW! Even the slower Pro Stock and Pro Mod guys are still moving from 0-200mph in like 6.5 seconds, lol. The Funny car and Top Fuel guys were just incredible, going from 0-325mph in 4.5 seconds. It was an ear-bleedingly loud experience, and the smell of tire smoke and nitromethane exhaust was awsome. Lots of other guys were wearing ear plugs, but I wanted to get the FULL experience, so I didnt wear any, lol. It was a great show once it got dark between like 8 and 9pm, as there were 6-foot flames out the side of the 6,500hp beasts. We moved down to the start line at the end, and it was really just a nice night. Just sitting there they sound like they are going to explode. If they come by you guys, I would highly reccomend going to the qualifying sessions at night. Even if you aren't a big fan of drag racing, they are really just awsome machines.
I'll post some pictures, but I took them with the camcorder, so they will be terrible quality, like .6 megapixels, lol.
