Spent the day in Englishtown, NJ today and the NHRA Nationals to watch the final eliminations. I try to go every year-- its a must
There's nothing like 8,000 HP rumbling through your body. If you guys find time I would recommend finding an event in your area. Its nothing you have ever felt, smelled, or tasted.....

ENJOY!





























Track conditions later in the day were better cars were seeing ET's at high 3's to low 4's at 300mph to 315ish mph

 

AND VIDEO>>>>>>>

 

Where's the RX8...

 

haha-- who cares

 

First off... holy hell your arms are huge....

Second... obviously you've never seen the MS8 run the quarter mile

I'm guessing the videos don't even do justice to the sound/volume of those things...

 

when they fly past you you feel like your getting a flash sunburn its freaking crazy

 

^ No the video's dont do any justice... When the nitro cars take off from the tree it feels like someone's punching you in the chest and the heat radiates.... not to mention even with ear plugs these ******* still rattle the ear drums

 

damn nice pics must be a ton of fun

 

thanks for the pics!

 

Ive been to a drag strip before but never anything like that! def will have to check it out

 

Nice dude. I used to live near (few miles away) a drag strip and you can hear those things like they are in your backyard. I lived at the drag strip basically for the last 12 years and those things are insanely loud.

 

love NHRA, nothin like it, and the drivers are very approachable and take the time out to meet with fans etc. all around great event, and if you wanna see horsepower there ya go, fastest excellerating thing on the planet.

 

Definitely nothing like it
Watching these guys is a MUST for any true car guy...

I'll see if I can get some of my pics from last year together. I took more pics of the pits and drivers last year. This year I spent more free time in the beer gardens

 

Meh it's still drag racing. I spent the weekend watching the 24 Hours of LeMans. That is real racing!

 

First off... I was thinking the exact same thing, HOLY ****... you must bench a shitload

Second... I was at Ennis Raceway like 2 1/2 years ago ( 10/28/2007) and I saw a former 8 member, Jenkins, with his 8 near the drag with a Wheelie bar behind his car... Idk why he would need it but ill try to find the pictures I have of his car...





Third... You are correct Maniac, Ive been to 2 O' Reilly Fall Nationals in Ennis and they ARE LOUD... You can feel your face vibrate and yes, you can taste the fuel and rubber

 

^ There's all different types of racing - each with their own unique attributes

 

Thanks man doing Flat bench 365lbs for 8 reps. Not bad for a guy in a chair

 

Pics posted...

 

Well my RX8 can out handle them!

 

Your a beast Neil

Great pics man! Looks like an awsome time!

 

Bad *** Pico!

 

I can't imagine riding that race bike. It would probably scare me sh*tless.

 

Top fuel dragsters are insane. They get 8k HP out of 500 cubic inches of bigblock.
The EXHAUST HEADERS generate 800-1000lb of DOWNFORCE at FULL THROTTLE.

Also, Pico: Your biceps are bigger than my head. Please dont hurt me.

 

I would like to point out this link, it is a 13b not a 12a in this IDK why the title of it says 12a.
