Never really been into drag racing but I did enjoy some of them today, especially the jet car my ears are still ringing

They most certainly did!! There were a lot of beautiful cars as well as some not so tasteful but then there were some rather amusing cars to say the least (the fiat, cortina and the capri) but man did they shift, especially the jet car
