Silly poeple, don't you know nitro makes your nose tingle?
I laughed my *** off at ennis this weekend watching people in the pits. They would hear a top fuel or a funny car start up after the rebuild and a crowd of people would run to it to watch then as soon as they got to the barrier they would turn and run away even faster when the nitro got in their face. It was very funny to watch people run, I wish I had video so I could share the laughter. Personally I found it to clense the sinousces like nothing else myself, they should bottle that stuff and sell it over the counter.

Yeah , it was a blast. I went up to John's pit Sat morning and I was right on the rope looking at the car when he came out off the trailer, so naturally 100 people came running up and he started signing stuff, he came right up to me and I said "where are the girls at john"? He kinda pretended he didin't hear me.

Yeah, I worked for a vendor out there about 8 years ago serving beer at the Nat'ls and when the cars would come by my damn eyes would burn like a mother-bitch as I was passing out beers to people. I got to see Priscilla Presley and her convoy as the Elvis Presley car rolled through, was pretty cool, nitromethane is awesome!

we went Sunday and had a blast. Watching the people flock to the cars was funny.
We had tickets for all 4 days, but really only went because my Mom loves the races. Her and my brother met us there Sunday. She had a blast and probably knows more about drag racing than 90% of the men there.

Dave and I had a blast too. I got all the Force girls autograph on one of our business cards. It was funny to see all the people cover there ears and jump when the cars took off. Where we were sitting we got covered with rubber from the burnouts. We were there Sat and Sun.
