If any of you ever have a jet car event at your track, I strongly recommend going! Went last night and it was absolutely incredible.
7,000 pound Kenworth semi went 7 seconds at over 200!
One car broke the track record at 287 mph running a 5.5.
Seeing the cars go by was just unreal, you could feel them flying past. A few seconds after they went a big heat wave would hit you!
At the starting line they do a big flame show, then they pop the after-burners over and over, and let off the brakes and hold the brakes. From what I could see, this is how they warm up the tires instead of a normal burnout. When doing that, you can hear it many miles away. I called my house to see if they could hear it and they could (I'd say about 8 miles out)
If anyone is interested in seeing video I can throw some up!
