"You gotta come out and see this! It wrecks your hearing and shatters your nerves!!!

In the 60s I helped a bunch of guys (2 of them) who had a Chevy fueler. Rode the push car, wiped the tires and watched it smoke a Milan track record 204 from the line. Had a bandana and two fingers. Went to the NorthWest Nationals in 2013 after decades away from the sport with top quality hearing protection. Got caught with my muffs down for the first pair of fuel burnouts and almost fell on my butt. TF is seriously out of hand. It's not entertainment or competition.
