I didn't like the change to 1,000' tracks and 90%, but trap speeds are still impressive.

Guess I'm just old and set in my ways.

All the action is at the start line Jim.
I don't even notice the shorter track for the top fuel and funny cars.
I do love the smell of nitro !!!!!

Back in the day you could get quite a headrush if you were standing behind one when they fired it in the pits.

Pigs are being fed marijuana in Washington state, which recently legalized pot for recreational use. It makes the pigs "happy as hell," the farmer says.
