i went to the US nationals in 02 with my dadbut didnt got in 03.if you havent been to a NHRA drag race then do yourself a favor and GO to atleast one.when the top-fuel dragsters take off you can hardly see them down the track.you MUST cover your ears whiler the funny cars and top fuel dragsters run or else.you can feel you insides vibrating as they pass you.the prostock bikes are somethin else too.i would not want to be on a bike going the 1/4 milein high 6's(i beleive thats what they run).and i beleive the topfuel dragsters and funny cars have around 6000 H.P.
