Drag Races

On Saturday George and 3 other men from here went to Phoenix to the NHRA Nationals.  


John Force, one of the top funny car drag racers.



 These cars have 10,000 horsepower, and burn a gallon and a half of fuel per second.  At the end of a 3 second race, the motor is ruined.  They completely rebuild the engine between every race of top fuel and funny cars.

That seems like a fantastical waste of money. Did Dad wait in line to get that guy's autograph? ;)

No, they just stood and observed what was going on.
