I was there yesterday (saturday) also with my dad, a buddy of mine, and his dad. That was one hell of an experience! All the videos I have seen on the internet and the shows on tv are nothing compared to seeing this stuff in person!

Oh yah and I got to get a good breathing treatment of Nitro a couple times in the pits. Bad **** man.

You cant explain the rumble when one of these cars launches, or when they seat the clutch in. Its an experience that everyone needs to have.

When I used to race RC cars, it was at an indoor track, and those things ran on nitromethane. After a little bit the place would get a nice smell to it.
There is nothing like smelling it on a cold morning!

I was there in the box seats and when those cars and the top fuel drag cars went full throttle the whole building shook. Awesome event spent most of my time walking through the pits though checking everything out.
