I went to one of these 20 years or so ago. Yes, they are loud, but not loud when compared to a blower explosion! One of them exploded a blower maybe 60 off the line. I was right opposite it in the stands. It felt like an earthquake.

I also remember standing next to one of the top fuel cars in the pits when they started it up. I had ear plugs and my hands over my ears, and it was still painful to my ears. Then the nitro fumes hit my eyes and I had to get outta there!
