I will be down there with a couple bros. We get into town Thursday evening and leave Saturday afternoon.

Funny car, top fuel is going to be insane. If anyone is going hit me up here.

God is miss the Fuel cars. MIR doesn't get the Presidents Cup anymore.

Too bad they'll only be running 1000' ft. For those that have never experienced alcohol funnies and top fuel, live, there's just no words to describe it.

You need to wear a kidney belt for the fuel cars. So jealous...

Man I would totally be there, I only live 1 hour away in Jacksonville and have family in Gainesville. Unfortunatley I won't be getting back from Italy until April 4th so I will just miss it!

The top fuel cars are definitely insane, especially if both cars get a full pass and go by you together. The way you feel the power in your body sitting in the stands is indescribable. And it is cool to walk the pits when they fire them up on the stands after a rebuild and are blipping the throttle which is so freaking loud and shakes you as you run away crying and gasping for air from the nitro fumes all over in the air.
