Used to be quite a drag racing fan, didn't live far from the National Trail Raceway in Hebron and attended quite a few of the early NHRA Spring Nationals in the early 70s. Interesting that the speed record is held there, they used to have to put a couple of nets up at the end of the track to catch the car if they couldn't get stopped. The track dead ended into a road! I recall a few times that top fuelers had brake and/or parachute failures and had to get stopped by the nets, really messes up the car. Most speeds were slow (relatively of course) since they would get on the brakes and pop the chute right at the finish line to stay out of the nets. I understand now when they have pro events they close the road off and have extended the track beyond the road.
