I used to work at the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association; the governing body for the fastest top fuel dragsters). At the first race I went to after I started working there, they let my wife and I stand at the starting line between Kenny Bernstein in the Budweiser Top Fuel dragster, and Doug Kalitta in the MGM Grand dragster. It was THE MOST EXHILERATING experience of my ENTIRE life. It literally rattled my teeth in my skull.
If you have never been to a race, I definitely recommend going. There are tracks all over the country and lots of national events.
Why I left that job I'll never know...
