Matt,
I have always wanted to ask Will NHRA accept my pilots license and upgrade it... Why not.. I can through the air at over 300 MPH..

It's the zero - 100 in a second and/or the zero to 200 in 2 seconds and/or the zero - 300 in under 4 seconds that may cause you to say, "Wow, this is not the same as flying a plane!" Then there's the whole slowing down thing ............ C'mon Adger ......... it's only money ......... lots and lots of money. LOL |

Yea, that slowing down is tough on the body.
I've already had 2 detached retina's. Probably past time for my old body to experience it. I'm sure it is a thrilling ride. Good luck in 2021

Even though I probably could afford it. I was thinking you would have to pay me $10,000 a race to risk my life driving one of those things. Rethinking it a little if I was to pro rate my life being 65 maybe $ 200 a race and we would call it even. BP

I've already spoken to Joey. And it was the US Nationals (Indy 4) that Joey qualified on the bump. He bumped himself in during Q3 Saturday night. |
