Far better race coverage on tv than going there anyway.
Seeing an F1 race live is a let down. You can see 2% of the course.

I'd like to do the whole experience of a F1 race though. There's probably a lot to check out other than the actual race.

NHRA top fuel though, now that'd be a good time

Now that is a fun time.
No clue watching it on tv just how loud it truly is...and the bleachers shake so hard I swore they would fall apart.

they're saying the start of F1 season will be end of may at the earliest. Lots of time to get your teams together now!

Been to two NHRA top fuel races...I'm not a super fan , but it was an unreal experience...everyone who likes crazy $hit should see it at least once.

After the Keystone Nationals I had a tender spot on the top of my head...the next day I finally realized it was the button on the top of my baseball cap that had been vibrating on the top of my head all day and caused the tender spot. Those top Fuel machines are insane...the power pulses go right through your body.

Its alright but just can't get into the sound. I'm an internal combustion guy. To me there is no sweeter sound than 40 stockcars in a pack on the backstraight. Pick a track. 10 super mod oval sleds is right there as well.

I’m a Mercedes fan and own a twin turbo s class myself.
I do love the sound of the old v12’s and V10’s.
Hoping to make the Montreal race this year,fingers crossed
I’m into any kind of motorized racing though it doesn’t matter what kind...

Used to get into some pretty spirited debates with BRP CEO Jose Boisjoli about F1 and NASCAR. He loves that series and I'm a Nascar fan. I told him he should be spending more money advertising in Nascar than F1 and Indy car. Good ole boys buy sleds and quads not the elite in Europe. Funny he disagreed but try and find a Can Am ad on an F1 or Indycar race nowadays but Nascar is full of them and they even sponsored a car for 3 years and the fall race in Phoenix for 5 yrs??? Lol

Its like any form of racing on TV Dan. Its way faster than it looks on TV. The smell of fuel and sound is music to my ears. NHRA in my opinion is the best TV and live motorsport with winged dirt cars second.

I have been to tons of drag races. I have friends with 6 second cars. And watching the top fuel cars is pretty wild for sure.
