+1,000!

I've seen all manner of professional racing and the one that really stands out it top fuel. The sound, the pressure on your chest, and the methane in your eyes (this part is not so bad anymore as the tuning is so spot on) is difficult to understand without experiencing it.

I took my wife a couple years ago. We were sitting row 2 at about 60 feet. She thought Pro Mod was loud. Then she thought Alcohol was loud. Then she thought the Top Fuel burn out was loud. She couldn't believe when the Top Fuel launched. She leaned into me and said, "I think I'm gonna be sick!" Of course everyone sitting around us busted out laughing.
