Let me jump in here ….There's a very small " CLICK " of drivers that have held an NHRA Top Fuel License and Stock Eliminator License at the same time . ... Come on in...!!

Well MJ, there's a couple guys in Florida, including myself, a Mr. Don Garlits and maybe Dave Connelly. Then there's a nice looking young lady from Arizona, Leah Pruett. Could be more …..but not many.... Someone needs to step up (dip into their 401k), and take Matt up on this offer! Then report back on how easy these things are to drive !

Realize the Professor was talking (“ Ray Charles could drive one”) about FC but wouldn’t it apply equally to TF?

I think maybe Hawley's alcohol car then this would be a nice step.

There is a lot of things that look easy when you are watching.......
I wouldn't drive a nitro car,even if I had the chance....I have no need or desire to go anywhere near that quick...
I thought it was crazy to get in a nitro car, until I watched T/F Harley from the stands...from water box they are wild, but when I saw them from stands,CRAZY
suicide bombers think T/F Harley riders are crazy..

Agree..Best place to be when those things are on the track is way back in the S/SS pits.

Sure. I'd even take less than that.

Now that's funny right there

Definitely a different skill set to run either car. While I'd love to do it I'd be out of money after getting my licence.

Only 2 things stop me from doing this:

1. I'm a brokeazz hilljack.
2. I'd soil myself as soon as the motor started.
