Drag Racing then and now!

Drag Racing what is it? Why do we do it?What make us want to go faster? Drag Racing has been around for a long time and doesn't seam to be going anywhere. How far back can you remember seeing things about drag racing its something that thrill seekers must do. I watched the entire Lights out 8 Race and was amazed to see how far we have come in the sport and its crazy 200 mph plus on a little radial tire 3.73 ET in the 1/8 mile thats crazy. I can remember when 10's-9s-8's and then 7's in the 1/4 mile where crazy. We live for the thrill some of us all we do is eat sleep and breath speed yes its a drug. I remember getting into it at a young age I tried to break away but it pulled me back in and I love it! I would love to here how you go hooked on the sport? Please share with a comment!
