I might try to make it. I went last year. It was a pretty good show. We counted all the broke down vehicles on the way back. GM won hands down. There were (something like) 3 GMs to every Ford.
Anyway, I haven't even made plans yet (it never seems to matter anymore, when I do).

John Force's car has been estimated to have 5,000-7,000hp.
BTW, I'm not much on the nitro bath thing. :nono: Been there, done that, it kinda sucks!

HAH, I could push that much easily! But, I must admit, I think John would be PISSED about the scratches it would leave on the back of his car!
