TM Direct, don't go to an NHRA event, you'll get hooked. Especially if you get a pit pass, it is TOO cool. The smell of the nitro, open exhaust, it's really something. Here is the schedule for the U.S. Nationals, the biggest race of the season for drag racing. Next National Event show: Mac Tools U.S. Nationals Clermont, IN 9/2/2006 Qualifying 11:00:00 PM-12:00:00 AM (ET) ESPN2 9/3/2006 Qualifying 12:00:00 PM-1:30:00 PM (ET) ESPN2 9/3/2006 Qualifying 11:00:00 PM-1:00:00 AM (ET) ESPN2 9/4/2006 Eliminations 12:00:00 PM-2:30:00 PM (ET) ESPN2 9/4/2006 Eliminations 4:00:00 PM-7:00:00 PM (ET) ESPN2 9/7/2006 Repeat Eliminations 3:00:00 AM-5:00:00 AM (ET) ESPN2 Just watch a little bit, especially the Top Fuel Dragsters or the Funny Cars, and make sure you listen to it through a good audio system, it's awesome...
Always been a circle track fan, but I did get free tickets to an NHRA race at Joliet a few years ago. The noise is absolutely insane, I was a half mile from the track when the first round went off, they are setting off car alarms a half mile away. You could feel the vibration in your chest. I liked it, you know raise the hair on your arms and neck. When I sat down, I had no idea how fast 4.80 in a quarter mile really is. And I think they are down to 4.20's now. I would recommend it at least once for any motorsport fan. Bring or buy earplugs. Gordon's got a nice little momentum thing goin on coming into the chase.
