YOu are so right! IT is an amazing adrenaline rush. The first time I did it with a pro driver at my side, my hands were shaking after I was done with excitement. Did a controlled 4 wheel drift at 120mph in a Firebird at Infineon at the end of the ddrag strip. Not sure what they call that corner now. But it was very exciting in deed
\I use to help set up some drag rides in my younger days when there was a grudge night at Fremont Raceway. Did some carb tuning on a tunnelram on a corvette with a big block. He wanted me to be in the car to feel the pull. So when he hit 3rd gear, the driveshaft broke. He did some clutch work the day before and did not put on his safety straps for the shaft. I remember trying to get very small as the driveshaft came up thru the floorboard! a Drag race event I will never forget!
