I was turned on to drag racing by my buddy from PA some years ago -being in stock cars all my life , we went to maple grove where he had gone all his life-i was blown away , and went with him for many years after that-when i heard and felt  them set the clutches on the top fuel cars while standing 35  ft away  and that nitro kicked in  , i was stunned !!

The stat that stayed with me was that "1 cyl.of a top fuel dragster , put out more horsepower than a nascar cup v8 " !!!

The NHRA had it right way before NASCAR did as far as fans "up close and personal" and involved !!

Also , maple grove --- the best racetrack  hamburgers ever , and i've had 'em from new england to florida !!!

blessings !!
