Howdy,
So I've been wanting to go to a top level NHRA event... There's one in Columbus on 5/21... We'd only be able to go on Sunday... http://www.nhra.com/apcm/templates/event_s...=91&navsource=8 Anyone know what's up with these? Like, should I get tickets in advance? Do I want the $41 one (regular admission) or the $54 one (pit reserved seating)? Ideally I'd like to be able to walk around through the pits and stuff. Also... Where's the best place to watch drag racing? Near the start, near the lights, in the middle, or ?? Anything I should bring that I wouldn't normally think of? Right now its sunscreen, camera, and ear protection... Thanks! Mark |

Top fuel cars are so loud that they will make your vision blurry as they go by. We didn't take hearing protection (it was fingers all around). Learn from our mistake. Other than that, it's something every car guy should do at least once.

Kinda like someone lightly beating on your chest. Enjoy. John |
