I haven't been in 25 years, I did go with my dad a few times in my teens when he would run the 84 s10 he shoved a 350 into, was his daily driver for 15ish years. We did go to the NHRA event that they used to have at National Trails (they have since stopped coming) one time and seeing the big boys was pretty sick, being down on the fence that was I dunno, 100 feet from the track and having funny cars scream past you at 300 mph, I'll never forget it.Does anyone here ever go to the drag strip whether its racing or spectating?
Seeing a Top Fuel or Funny Car make a pass is an experience. Its hard to believe how crazy they are until you see it with your own eyes, talk about a full sensory experience. The sight of a manned vehicle moving like a legitimate rocket, the deafening decibels, feeling the rumble throughout your entire body, the nitromethane burning your eyes/nose/throat. I was born with the need for speed and I like adrenaline, but I don't think I could handle going that fast for pass after pass. I mean MAYBE if I lived an entire life of drag racing, but I think it still takes a special kind of crazy to run those cars. You get used to experiencing certain G forces and speeds and just want more and more over time. Running your first 10 is fun, but you cant wait to experience a 9, then after being in the 9s for so long you just want to run 8s, and eventually you get used to 7s and so on. The jump from 10s to 9s and 8s to 7s is nowhere near the same, each second quicker is exponentially more terrifying until you reach a point where there are only crazy people racing other crazy people.I haven't been in 25 years, I did go with my dad a few times in my teens when he would run the 84 s10 he shoved a 350 into, was his daily driver for 15ish years.

Yeah I watch Doug DeMuro on occasion, my favorite vid of his is the review of the Volkswagen DIC FuzzHow is this going? Im pretty sure Doug Demuro (yt guy who reviews cars) drives one as his daily.
Nice to bump an old post. The garage forum used to be people asking for mechanical advice...and here we are today in a thread looking at 1k posts!
As McDavid would say... "right f***ing now"!
I don’t think it’s just Chevy. Everyone is going to plastic, or has already done so. Think about thermostat housings, all plastic now.
I had a 97 cadillac piss coolant from where the water pump sits. I took it in expecting a heavy bill. Got a call an hour later, “it wasn’t the pump. Wasn’t even a hose. Just a flange”
