This year I really want to see the top fuel dragsters, I have never been before and it would be a great experience.
So, when is the best time to go, and where is the best place to see them?

Get REAL close to the start line fence.....you may want to block your ears and wear a kidney belt!..........and DON'T blink, otherwise you'll miss the action!!
Another great spot is down towards the finish line. The sound of the blower coming at you at over 500km/h makes the hairs on your neck stand up! Freakin awesome
