re: Top Fuel Drag Racers are quite amazing

Another CSB. During the summer before my freshman year at LSU, I took my cousin to to the drag track on Hwy 190 near Livonia. They had races once a month there and the draw this particular night was jet car racing. Before the main draw a thunderstorm blows thru dropping around a inch of rain. It blew thru fast and everyone returned from their vehicles to the stands. Blowers were used to dry the track but it would of taken an hour or so to dry it for racing. The track announcer comes on and says anybody wanting to run the quater get you vehicle lined up. The stands damn near emptied and you saw everything from moms station wagon to some gear heads souped up chevy. Most of em did mutiple runs. Good times.
