Went to the Gatornationals many ears ago. They were flirting with 300MPH when we were there and had just broke the 5 second mark. This was about 18 years ago.

The sound those top fuel cars put out makes your hair follicles tighten up. Its the most bizzare feeling I have ever felt.

I am not a big drag racing fan but I recomend everyone go to one of these at least once. Its like the start of an Indy race ofr NASCAR event, not a big fan of either but definatly a do once in your life deal.

Also, go stand at the finish line. Its a really wild scene. You watch the car jump at the starting line and you can focus on it for the first 60' or so then it moves so fast as it comes at you and passes at 300+MPH you cannot keep up with it.
