Sweet!Looks like a blast.I went to Gateway a few years ago, and it's something every race fan should see in person at least once.The top fuel dragsters and funny cars are unbelievable in person.

Where are the pics of Ashley Force?:D

I didn't take any of her!! But I did get her autagraph!!

nascars better :D

I take you have never been to a NHRA race.I have been to the nascar Bristol night race and it was fun for 3 hours.If you go to NHRA races you have fun all day,Meet the drivers ,watch the teams in the pits{75min. to pull a motor & clutch all the way apart, change tires, pack the shoot, fuel it and get it on the starting line} Amazing if you watch it! NASCAR you don't get to do any of that and will probably never meet any drivers.You can get so close to the cars when they start them up in the pits,your eyes tear and your nose runs with snot.Then they hit the throttle and the ground shakes.I have argued with nascar fans what is better nascar or nhra. After they go to a nhra race they are hooked.They can't believe how it sounds and feels when you see a car run over 320 m.p.h. in a 1/4 mile.{shorter distance now 1000 feet } and Ashley Force broke a record 312 m.p.h. I think comparing nascar to nhra is like apples to oranges. Both are entertaining but the nhra is more fan friendley.

Englishtown and Maple Grove are within an hour from me. It has been awhile since I have gone. You don't need drugs when the NHRA is in town. The power of these machines is incredible and it is a rush like you would not believe when they bolt down the 1/4 mile at 300mph. I just may have to get to the summer nationals here. Thanks for sharing and refreshing the memories sooner girl.
