Why are people scared of the drag strip?

Here's something to ponder : If you have a 13 second car , your car is faster than 50% of the cars on the street . If you have a 12 second car, your car is faster than 60% of the cars on the road . If you have an 11 second car , your car is faster than 70% of the cars out there . If you have a 10 second cars , your car is quicker than 80-90% of the cars out there . There are always exceptions , of course . The big exception would be modern muscle . If you built a 10-11 second car yourself , you are in an elite group of people who have my deepest respect . A 10 second street car is a handful .
