[QUOTE="hmwave, post: 1353891, member: 10968"] We arrived at midday so had to park right in the furthest corner of the furthest away car lot, maybe a half mile away. When I turned off the Cobra and opened the door one of either the TF or Funny cars happened to make a run. It sounded like some kind of monster had been unleashed and was very loud even at that distance. My son turned to me and said "is that a crash Dad"! His friend had a look of amazement/fright on his face, LOL. I knew they'd be loud but had no idea the experience would be quite so 'violent' in terms of the shock waves experienced. It amazes me that we are blowing up motors at 600hp and 20psi and these things are pushing out 8000HP. How do they stay together? (I know sometimes they don't). I was surprised to see the Funny Cars don't appear to have any protection between the motor and the drivers seat. If/when that motor comes apart it's gonna make a dent in the driver! Two words, "strawberry smoothy". [/QUOTE]
