Maple Grove Drag Racing



Had a nice day yesterday, excellent weather (80 degrees!) and Top Fuel Drag Racing!! Amazing how much power these cars have - 7000+ horsepower, nitromethane burning motors push these cars from zero to about 330MPH in less than 3.5 seconds! It sounds like a bomb going off when they blast down the runway. Yo can feel it over your whole body!

In fact, they don't run a full quarter mile anymore because they were simply going too fast to be safe.

Caught this diehard fan wearing his NHRA hard hat... funny.



Also had alcohol burning funnycar races too. Fun.

Coming from Athol, I thought there was only one definition for the word " burnout".

Now I see that there's two.
