I go to Pacific Raceways in the Seattle area once a yr when the NHRA circus comes to town.
A dear friend is on a pit crew of a Top Fuel Dragster and I was able to spend Fri, Sat and Sun intimately involved in the madness it takes to support a beast like this.
Additionally, I have grown to know Antron Brown, a two-time NHRA Top Fuel Chamption and have been invited into his pits before....it's simply amazing.
