Take some good ear plugs and yes! It basically like a county fair except the cars explode on purpose. Despite working around motorsports including drag racing for years I never really got into any of it but I’ve learned to love drag racing’s nuances. These dudes will take a beat up Chevy Nova and figure out how long it takes to move it 1320ft down to the thousandths of a second. That’s top poo poo engineering.

NHRA’s marshalls are called Safety Safari and it’s a paid position. It’s a lot of “if this isn’t done the event can’t happen” work. Stuff like coordinating parking for trailers, track prep, incident response. All one team. They don’t get paid enough. And the pay scales down considerably for the same position attached to tracks instead of the tours. The only realistic solution I can see is getting the surrounding communities to accept motorsports parks into their hearts the way they do other types of sporting stadiums. Probably moreso because getting race cars off public roads saves lives.

WindyMan posted:Local yellow at the 330ft marker We need dudes spaced out along the track to run out and grab chunks of pistons and clutches that fly off. A few years go in Dallas we had to tell fans repeatedly to throw trash into the bins because the safety guys were getting sick of chasing burger wrappers off the track. Oh yeah, we're in Vegas for the 4wides. You wanna know what 4 top fuel dragsters sound like blowing their tires all at once? get your rear end to The Strip!

Am I gonna be disappointed if I Google Heiko Wasser? The NHRA is at the historic Route 66 raceway built on the bones of our forefathers. Should be a good time if the spirits allow(this place be haunted yo).

He’s probably concussed a fair bit. The car will buff out, it’ll be fine. If you’re in Chicago come out to the Route 66 raceway. We have walking tacos!

Exhausted but the Route 66 nationals were a lot of fun. If the NHRA comes to your area, you should check it out. Stuff exploded, cars rolled around, cool engineering poo poo happened. We even had some incarnation of the Blues Brothers(they drove around the pits in a golf cart with a stereo and speaker rig playing old Chicago blues tunes). Concession stand food was good too. Anyway, I’m gonna try and imagine what sleep is like.

In my experience anything past 3 days ahead and the Apple Weather App forecast gets shakey. Mileage may vary for euros tho. Drag racing is way more sensitive about rain than turning racing.

the NHRA is in New England(not a real state) this weekend. It might rain all weekend. So expect the announcers to be in full no fucks given mode. Should make for some interesting nhra.tv. We're like an hour north of boston. I hate it out here. No one drives right. They obey the speedlimit and are terrified of merging. coconono fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Jun 1, 2023 |

New England rained. I’d recommend visiting one of other member tracks where the track GM isn’t more concerned about getting his timeslips instead of running his track. There’s a pretty sweet RC track next door tho. Also the Albacore exhibit is worth a look. coconono fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Jun 6, 2023 |

Do you like Ohio? I dislike Ohio but that’s a deep seated cultural failing on my part. Anyway, come to Summit Motorsports Park and let’s watch the cars go by together. Or separate if you’re a loner cool type. NHRA tour is deep in the weirdness.
