As for driving a car with 8,000hp, uh, nah, I think I'll leave the death machines to the pro's. lol As you can see, unlike other high end motorsports, you can get right up close and personal with the cars and the drivers, a somewhat unique advantage for fans of drag racing. Through the years drag racing has always had this element of grass roots fan access, and have never forgotten where they came from, and how important close contact with the fans really is.
