To Andy, Jezza, Richard and James:

Come to California in February so that you can see real horsepower at work.  The NHRA Winter Nationals will be in Pomona, CA, just east of Los Angeles. 

Who could not like seeing 7000 to 8000 horsepower going from 0 to 300mph in less than 4 seconds????

I recently attended the races last weekend and can assure you that this is the home of drag racing and you will be blown away!!!!!!

I’m reminded of the last time Hammond went that fast…

I spent a number of years drag racing for a living. Somehow, I am more impressed with a well balanced sports car than straight-line acceleration…Robert
