Recently, I attended the qualifying rounds of NHRA drag racing at Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey. I do not follow NHRA, and had never been to a drag race before. The cars were the loudest things I'd ever heard, and were unbelievably fast. But what I found the most interesting was how I could feel the sound of the engines when the drivers mashed the throttle. The entire Earth seemed to shake, and it left me trembling long after the parachutes had been released and the cars had come to a stop. It was a truly exhilarating experience, and I wasn't even driving. Here are some photos of the drag races I saw, which included Pro Stock, Funny Car, and Top Fuel classes.
