Experientially, right up there on the surreal-meter for me, right next to skydiving. I was standing next to the fence just in front of the start line in 1981 at SIR when Gene Snow's blower let go on the launch. The pressure wave pushed us all back a foot or so when it did and the blower continued 100 ft in the air before crashing down to the track.

The sound and speed were amazing enough then, cannot imagine what it would be like today.
