KuisisAlong with the sound of the cars I remember the smell of the exhaust and rubber burning. If you sit close you may get hit by little pieces of rubber. Great live event.

we were going to see the big foot monster trucks.
we saw them staged, we saw the mud pits, we thought , "well this is going to take a while"
Not! surprised and shocked , to say the least

Sock Eating GoldenI took both boys, 5 and 3, to the qualifying night at Norwalk last summer. The Baders brought in Bob Motz Jet truck and a fireworks display to closeout the night. The top fuel was a little overwhelming at first. But they are looking forward to "the loudest racecars" this year.

YooperSigsTwo items on my (unobtainable) bucket list:
1- F-14 cat shot.
2- Funny car launch.
Similar sensations I would guess.
End of Earth: 2 Miles
Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles

OrgussI think the Funny Car launch would be worse.
