    You can't appreciate how violent these machines are unless you have visited a race. Wearing the best ear plugs I have found while working in construction only lessened the noise to a little more comfortable level while my body still shook noticeably from the noise the dragsters generate while racing. I strongly recommend wearing the best ear plugs you can find while wearing over the ear protection as well to compliment them. I can't explain enough how violently loud these cars are. If you visit one of these races you will experience something you will never ever forget. The cars are violent! I will assure you that you will never regret attending one of these top fuel drag races, especially if you bring good ear protection to help you enjoy the experience.

      My brother raced at a 1/4 drag strip for years, his Class he raced in was Super Pro, on a Sunday he was basically only running to acquire more points, not too many people go every weekend to the races but he had to go to keep his points up high enough. I might not be explaining it right but either way the parking lot was near empty.
      I’ll never forget when I took my younger brother-in-law to his first drag races. He never heard a car run before with open headers, when my brother started his car and revved it my brother-in-law took off running across the parking lot as fast as he could go. I had to run after him to stop him from keeping his distance, he had never heard that before and he thought the car was going to blow up! He was around 12 at the time. 🤭

    I am a retired law enforcement officer and worked for years and years iin that job full time. Since police officers have families and bills just like everyone else, we had to work par time to make ends meet. I worked for my last five years part time at our local drag strip. Not a big venue, 6500 people total, but it drew many drag racers from all over. My job was, of course, security and I worked in my police blues, gun belt the whole nine yards. I never had so much fun at at part time job. I not only didnt have to pay to get in, they paid me and my fellow officers decent money for a fun job and the department I worked for had take home cars and allowed it's officers to drive to their part time jobs.. Sure there was alot of drinking there going on, but most people we had to talk to were respectful and didnt get out of line too much. It was cool to wander the pitts, return road, line up area, starting and finishing area. I was 62 when I finally pulled the plug and couldnt work security anymore. I sorely miss that part time job. I went to the oval races too on the smaller oval track. I am 75 now and still a big kid when I get a chance to go to these races. I went to Vegas five years in a row on Halloweern week end for the NHRA finals there. My buddy and I had seats just 25 or 30 feet from the start line. We would get to the Vegas Race Park at 9am on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and leave at 6pm. What a blast. You have to experience a 11,000 HP dragster or funny car from that distance. The ground shakes. I know, I know, we were over the top but we loved it. I never had any desire to drive one but they are fun to watch. Thank you

    I went to one of these races. It is insane. The reason the exhaust is shaped the way it is is to give the car another thousand pounds of downforce at the rear wheels. These machines are incredible. If I'm not mistaken I understand they make 11,000 to 15,000 horses and burn through something like 12 gallons of fuel per run. I'm all for it! Nothing exceeds like excess. I just feel sorry for the poor clutch plates.

And thats not what drag racing is about.. New super tracks withOUT concrete walls ,,,and energy absorbing , transparent, fire retardant filled , modular, Urethane panels , that dont kill a driver,, need to happen AND over a mile of shutdown area should be an average track now..

      They're going a hundred miles an hour by the time the back tires get to where the front tires were, and the first 0 to 100 miles per hour is in about 0.7 Seconds -- and in roughly 60 feet. At half track or the Eight Mile which is 660 feet, a lot of the cars are getting there in 2.9 seconds and going 297 miles an hour! Hell even the speeds are hitting could be way faster, they keep having to slow the cars down that's the insane part! Doing things to reduce power, adding rev limiters you name it. They could pull away taller rear end gear but they don't allow it because they would hit 350 just from going from a 3.2:1, to a 3.0:1

    Amazing Machines. reportedly takes 600 HP to turn/drive the Super Charger, 0 to 100 MPH in 30 Feet, pulling 4 - 5 Gs at launch, Fuel is regulated by Dept of Homeland security! Top Fuel & Funny Car's accelerate faster than F18/F35 off an Aircraft Carrier! The concussion beats on your chest! Unless you have been to an NHRA Race you have no idea of the Power!

    Can't believe the crew stays just behind while they do their run. They are not afraid of getting a 1000 mph pebble in the face ?!
