I went to my first NHRA Pro drag race this past weekend. I did not see RuPaul anywhere.
I gotta say, while I had seen it plenty of times on tv, seeing that in person was amazing. Tv does not do it justice.
The noise, the violence, the speed, it was all quite stunning. I have never seen anything that loud, it went beyond loud. You actually felt the force from these things as much as you heard them. I have never seen anything so fast, to accelerate from 0 to 330 mph in 1,000 feet and less than 4 seconds...... Wow.
And the access to the pits, they let anybody and everybody walk through the pits. I don't know how the racers put up with it. People were constantly in their way. But I was able to see the cars up close. Seeing them re-build the motors after every round was amazing.
I am not a big fan of drag racing, but I am a gear head and love motorsports. I plan on seeing them again next year. It was absolutely worth the time and money.
I highly recommend if you have the opportunity to see the NHRA Top Fuel guys, do it.
