I used to be into the drags decades ago, not today though. But last year a friend from Route 66 Dragway over in Joliet invited me to stop over during the nationals, you know, John Force and all of those guys, so I stopped over. He took me to the top of the tower behind the starting line, like 5 or 6 stories tall, and I was standing at the rail looking down as they took off below me.

Today they fire them up out by the trailers and a guy is hooked up to a module on them with a laptop, and give it time, they won't even be hooked up anymore, will be doing that wireless...if they don't already.
Seperately, when I watch a NASCAR race these days and hear how a 13 second pitstop was slow and cost positions, and then I see old film footage from the '60's when Richard Petty would climb out of his car in the pits so that his crew could change tires using 4 way tire irons...yes, technologies sure have changed, and that's in part why I'm so fat. Grin.
