There is damn near nothing in motorsports as cool as standing near the start line at a NHRA race when the top fuelers and funny cars burn out or make a run. Holy shit. No damn wonder I'm deaf. Even with foam plugs and muffs on it's incredible! And the concussion (for the lack of a better term) that hits you when the Christmas tree goes green makes you think an IED just went off in front of you minus the debris and injury. Just make the beast with two backsing awesome sight and sound show! waytogo popcorn bow down

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

The MotoGP bike reminds me of a guy I knew in Las Vegas who owned a former Fast by Ferracci 996RS.  It was super high-strung and had a wicked growl to it.

Top Fuel cars are sick.  Although I've never been down "at the lights" for a launch, I've been fortunate enough to be in the hospitality areas a few times while they are warming the cars up.

Here's a pretty killer video (from Finland) of a T/F dragster in super slo-mo
