Reply:Is he trying to get a chinese chapter of NHRA started???That's pretty neat...My bro-n-law and I try to go the summer nationals here in commerce, ga every year.  The smell of nitromethane gets my blood going...I have tried to explain to my white-collar friends that they haven't lived until they have had their chests pounded by the concussion of a top-fueler passing right in front of them on its way to 325 mph.  They just look at me, and laugh...a couple have taken me up on it, and both are now big fans...just like welding...it's addictive.Smithboy...if it ain't broke, you ain't tryin'.
Reply:The dragster is in a resturant?? Odd choice but beats the heck out of a fish tank I guess. In thinking about it, in some societies, a fine machine like that with about two gazzillion horse power would be wonder to get close to. I'd guess it's quite the attraction. Pretty classy rig BTW.
