Well this will be a total change of pace but I imagine there's a bunch of guys here that either follow or have been to a pro drag race. If you have not you HAVE to get to one of these in your lifetime. The nitro classes (Dragster & Funny Car) are just unbelievable. 10,000+ horsepower that you have to experience to appreciate what these cars do. Simply put, there is no other motorsport I can think of that is an absolute assault on your senses like those nitro cars. Your freakin eyeballs rattle when they go past you on the strip! Its been a loooong time since I've been to a national event and after having gone this weekend, this is back on my yearly to-do list. Simply awesome.
Here's some of the action from the weekend
Top fuel first.
Note how the wheels try to rip themselves from the tires at launch
Funny Cars
Pro Stock
Pro Stock Bike
Honestly, Pro Mod might have been my favorite class. There are three styles of motors in these cars: Nitrous, Supercharged, & Turbo. All run heads up and all run totally differently going down the track. When the nitrous cars start lighting off you see them just frickin take off. Same with the turbo cars. Cool as hell.
