That is totally "amazing".
You should go to a medical lab and find out about this.
Then you can market the findings and sell it to all the people that wear respirator masks that work on these "diggers".

Diggers, slingshots, flippers or door slammers all are fun to watch.

Is this about top fuel cars? Or how fuel fumes don’t bother me, seems you’re obsessed with the later.

The first time I took my son to see top fuelers he stated that he could feel the noise in his heart.
He jumped the first time they hit the throttle, but after that it didn't bother him.
He is now an official gearhead (put a bigger engine in his BMW) and I couldn't be more proud of him.

No, read my first post about this and let's move on.
It was your reaction to the first time you saw a top fuel car launch.
Sorry Blue it really is hard to believe you at times also.
