Im so excited to go drag racing in may. It's been way too long, the last time i went was last september so like 7-8 months ago. Thats the bad thing about where I live and drag racing because you only get 4-months of drag racing that's why I would rather live in Naples Florida the race about 350 days a year because of holiday reasons like christmas and easter and days like that and other big holidays. Thats the only time that the track is closed. Which would be awsome, racing all year long that's every racing fans dream.
Although drag racing is fun and all but there id dome down falls about drag racing like accidents. Yes there has been some deaths from drag racing but there is so much protection and saftey equiptment for example 5 or 6 point harness, helmet, roll cage if you go fater than 11.50 secondes and before you can race there is specific people that examine your car before they let you go down the track and the faster you go te more things they check. If your car is NHRA (national hot rod assosiation) certifided they will check the thikness of your roll cage and the thikness of your welds and if you go over 150 m/ph u need a parashoot and a funny car cage.
Drag raving sounds pretty dangerous but it's definatly a good thing that their thinking more safely and they are taking more precautions than what they did when all those deaths happened. Thanks for the blog update, always learning new things :)
ReplyDeleteAs dangerous as dragging is, people love it. I find it to be entertaining to watch. Not my favorite form of motorsport, but still fun to watch. Keep the posts coming.
