If you've never seen a top fuel dragster in person, I highly recommend you do so before you die. They are absurdly loud, but utterly impressive
I completely agree!

When you can feel the HP from your ears to your toes, it really impresses.

I get a similar feeling at NHMS, once NHIS, when the cars are accelerating down the front stretch. And, if you have ever had the opportunity to see a space shuttle launch in Florida, if that does not get your heart pumping faster, nothing will. Power can be very beautiful in the eyes of the beholder and noise is part of the overall experience.

If the vehicle is legal in its environment, bring it on!
