I haven't been to a drag race of any kind in many, many, years. The last one I went to was Rockingham, NC. It was an IHRA event, but still plenty of top fuel and funnys, along with about 9 million stock and super stock. This is the only big drag event I've ever went to, and will be the last. I made the mistake and went on Saturday. This is the elimination round and bores you senseless. If I were to ever go again, it would be on Sunday for the finals. I got the worst headache I have ever had. Being in the pits, drinking, sun, and noise killed me. Before I forget, drinking always did give me a headache. Best thing I ever did was to stop doing it.
I used to go to a small strip that my Dad was the announcer at, when I was a kid. Then it was dirt. Yeah, dirt. Cars had to run bigass snow tires for traction. It was wild. It is still in operation, but paved now of course. Haven't been in a very long time. My older brother had a 55 Chevy with a 292 straight six and would ream the 283 Chevy's a new one. It would really piss them off to see they got beat by a six cylinder, not knowing it was a 292 of course.
Sorry for getting of track there for a moment.
