NHRA: Is it worth it?

I agree that you should go, you will enjoy it.
Don't take your wife if she's not into it at all.
She will hate it because the cars are loud, the fuel stinks, and the smoke from the burn outs stinks even more.
If that doesn't get her, than the repetitive runs will.
Do yourself a favor, and get a pit pass so you can watch the between rounds thrashing that goes on as well as looking at all of the cars in general.
To me, that's half of it, and watching the actual racing from the stands is the other half.
Personally, i get more from watching the stock and super stock cars than any of the others.
The fuel classes are impressive because of the sheer power and violent sounds.
Be prepared to have your teeth rattle and chest vibrate when they go by while making their runs!
You will not regret it if you go!
To answer your question, it is well worth it to go..............

Last time I went a few years ago there was no need for a pit pass. Everyone was welcome to walk around.
