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 |

If you can make it, go and watch the "slower" classes run. I saw a late eighties Q/SA Caddy run in the 12's. Pretty interesting stuff. Thankfully, the NHRA is returning to Virginia this year in October. It really is one of the best shows I've ever seen.

QUOTE (rpoz-29 @ Mar 20 2006, 07:11 PM)  If you can make it, go and watch the "slower" classes run. I always like watching the Stock, Super Stock and Comp cars more than Top Fuel. Maybe it's because it's instant rain delay when the Top Fuel cars come out. A minute or so to get two started, 1/2 track burnout, back up from 1/2 track burnout, another little burnout, crew does something, stage -- all that for less than 5 seconds of track time! And 1/2 the time one car smokes the tires so it's not even a good race. Be sure and check out the Comp Eliminator cars. There are usually some wicked/goofy/different engine setups. Pat |
