So did Joe Amato. Something like 20 years ago. Even that long ago, had it been on a carrier deck, his car would have already been about 20 feet underwater before the F14 even cleared the deck. It ain't even close...

I find the lower classes of drag racing to be about as exciting to watch as golf. Top Fuel and Funny Car are a whole different story. Any true gear head owes it to themselves to see it live - TV just cannot do it justice.
