If the speed doesn’t impress you, the sound and feeling definitely will. Sends a shockwave through the stands when they roar past

I live at 44th St and Warner, it’s crazy how well the sweet sweet symphony of horsepower travels. I think it’s cool. What’s crazy is sometimes I can hear the EDM shows at Rawhide too!

The Top Fuel dragsters felt like 2 missiles being shot at the same time

Top fuel drag racing is by far the most unhinged way to travel 300mph, and an unmatched spectacle!

The native Americans. Then they built the track, so its a double win for them.

I’ve been to my fair share of NASCAR races and air shows, but I’ve never heard anything like those Top Fuel dragsters. Those engines are violently loud. It was amazing

I hate it when other people are enjoying their lives and it minorly inconveniences me too.
