Back around '66 - '67 3 of us went to a drag strip near Fresno, CA. on a SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!
I think the rigs were called AA Fuelers back then...last run of the day, we were leaning on the top a sagging wire fence no more than 30' away from the starting line/lights...fingers in ears. When those big babies fired off, my 2 buddies fell backwards off the fence. I felt a stun and staggered forward with a diaphragm 'concussion' of sorts...like having the wind knocked out of me. We were disoriented, to say the least. 'Never forget that experience.
!!!!!!!!
