I attended a bunch of NHRA races. but no way never been in a car thats for sure. It was a prostock wasnt it? Wasnt a fuel car thats for sure. I love NHRA drag racing. If someone has the chance to go see one, and whitness it for real… it will blow your mind. The power is absolutely out of this world. I would love to feel it in a car for a run. they should make 2 up funny cars I would pay $1000 for an entry ticket for a run. ( might not even cover the cost for the run itself I dunno!) ---

I know top fuel rebuilds after every pass, and I think funny’s do the same.
