I just had to put my 2 cents worth in here. Having done both, driving a fuel
dragster is very different from a LSR ride. The brain has a way of dealing
with situations where you have to act fast in a short time. A fuel dragster
does not go straight down the track, you need to drive about 1/3 of a mile to
drive that 1/4 mile. You also have to do things like advance the mags, I had
one shift. and of course hit the fuel shutoff and chute controls, all in a
matter of seconds. I remember the first run of the year always felt like I
went faster than GOD meant man to go but it felt slower after that.

Seriously ,LSR fans, comparing the speed of light to 300 mph can't possibly
explain any individuals' on-track experiences,whether drags or LSR...It would
seem more likely that we are so "wired" and endo-morphed up that we have such
vivid recall. Considering a past thread, if we drive reversed-body roadsters
at high speeds on the long course,can we go back in time ?.....Jack,are you
there ?. ................................Bob K/GL time machine Wanner in
