At our instructor clinic on Saturday Cass Whitehead, who instructs at the Porsche Driving Experience, said that he didn't think much of drag racing until he went to a race and they let him stand behind the cars. He said for one thing, he'd never do that again (due to the noise), but also he gained tremendous respect for the driving ability of the guys. The cars do NOT go in a straight line, and they are leaving rubber down almost the whole course. They are managing to keep the rear wheels in an almost costant state of slight wheelspin at the edge of traction, and keep it pointed in one direction (hopefully).
