NHRA nationals at ZMAX 4-wide dragway

Show cars on the way in...
           My sons and I had the pleasure of visiting Zmax this September for the NHRA nationals at ZMAX dragway in Concord, NC.  The trip was again, a kid favorite! This year we were a little more prepared and had a pack lunch in the parking lot (not as much tailgating going on than at a Nascar Race) and brought in a cooler of sodas and water. Obviously, as with any of these events, make sure you bring ear protection for everyone in the family!

       As with any racing event, the kids love to go through the vendors to get free stuff, experience games and rides, and just have fun! The two favorite things my boys loved during this obtaining of NHRA swag was a personalized dog tag from the Army promotion, and the free molded penny from the Toyota vendor (this machine squashes a penny and molds an image into it)-this one had a funny car on it.

After enjoying the inflatables, taking pictures with some of the cars and grabbing an slushy style refreshment, we headed into the stands. For those who have never been, there is something unexplainable about the amount of noise that these cars generate.

When they pop off the line and pass your seats your internal organs feel like they literally shiver.  Obviously, a video won't do it justice, so, you'll have to go yourself!
