Gerry Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Met MrT at Santa Pod yesterday to watch the Drag racing, great day, sunny, windy but no rain Anybody who hasn't seen Top Fuel Dragsters racing, you must - it's totally awsome. If you think the Jetcar is loud at JapShow, you're wrong - I'm sure my lungs were rattling against my ribs and my brain was melting at times. Sadly "The barn" is now closed off, so no shots like this in future: More "health & safety" I suspect Great Day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 ye i was gutted about the barn not being there last i time i went! Experience it a fair few times! Was Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Top fuel is something else. Took my breath away when they thunder past. 0 - 300 odd MPH in a few seconds. Nearly as fast as my van. But yeah an experience not to be missed. I live the thunderball event (i think thats what its called) On november the 5th and see all the top fuelers at night.

Homer Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Seriously? That’s a real shame The barn was an incredible place to see the top fuel and especially the jet car from... H&S doing it's best again no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 we were a bit gutted about the barn going too, but I think it must be H&S related cos of the jet car! I was lucky enough to line up behind project GTS-T at ptm a couple of weeks ago - that was a pretty awesome view. It would be much quicker if it did the trip in a straight line!

Pete Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 From the title I thought I was going to see it had been blasted away by a jet! Ah, it was an experience being stood there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
