Nice - I might be up for that...went to the world finals last year - Cracking event, and the fuellers are just as crazy as I remembered them the last time i went (11 years previously!)
If you've never been Drag racing then this would be a great intro...if your ears are easily offended (or perforated for that matter) then maybe not.... the noise of engines kicking out THOUSANDS (5 I think?) of Horsepower and trying to launch it down a track is outstanding, and whilst there is a lot of waiting around, the buzz of of watching them hit the strip is unbelieveable....Dont believe me? then get to Santa Pod and watch it - just leave early, and don't be surprised to see a 2 hr queue at the gate....and yes, I'm serious.... ;D

The last estimate I heard (Simply because there isn't a Dyno that can take the power) was 6500hp.
