There is nothing that compares to the feeling/adrenaline rush/sound of standing close to one of those top fuel dragsters or funny cars when they do their burnout and then launch... Hard to explain, but it's sort of like trying to explain an orgasm to someone who has never had one... Anyone who is into cars and/or racing has got to go to an NHRA event like this at least once in their life. 0-100 mph in under a second. 1/8 mile at about 265 mph... Unimaginable!
Finally!
I finally know what happened at my first top fuel event as a spectator.
I was near the starting line with a pop in my hand when the guy did his burn out. As the sound deafened me and literally passed through me, I felt a nice tingle down below.
Looked down and my pants were all wet.
I figured I just spilled some soda on myself...
But now I finally know what really happened.
....Uh...sorry....
TMI?
:-O
I'll be there on Sunday. Please try not to stand in my personal space if you see me near the starting line.
Some free tickets are falling out of the sky.
Oh...the only thing I've felt that compared to being at the starting line while a top fueler does it's burn out is standing on a air craft carrier flight deck, 20 feet from an F-14 Tomcat at full zone five afterburner just before the catapult is triggered.
The sound just passes straight through your body and touches every part of you inside and out.
Pants stayed dry for the F-14's tho'!
Must have been for safety reasons...
