I always love to hear the first time reactions.I saw those Top Fuel dragsters for the first time last month and my god. The earth trembles when those absolutely insane engines run wide open. The initial full throttle is like a bomb going off then it feels like a 10.0 earthquake is taking place for the entire pass.
Now all you have to do is take a deep breath as you walk through the green clouds of unburnt nitromethane in the pits.I saw those Top Fuel dragsters for the first time last month and my god.

My favorite Top Fuel comparison:
Stage the fuelie at the lights as normal. Two miles back, start a Bugatti Veyron so it reaches 200 mph and hits the line just as the tree drops and the fuelie launches from a standing start. Who wins?
The fuelie.
