There is no other
"Cackle" team that offers the chance for any fan who
wants to go through the "suit up" process then sit
in a Top Fuel dragster for a fire up. For a reasonable fee, you
can experience 2000 horsepower just inches from your face - feel
a nitro hemi come to life and vibrate the entire car with every
RPM. It's truly a once in a lifetime chance to know why fuel
dragsters are the King of the Sport. Here is a photo sequence
of Frantic 4 follower Joe Garreau getting his "Fan Fire
Up".
You start out
with Norm Weekly helping you suit up into a period correct Simpson
firesuit and mask.
Once the "driver"
is dressed, Norm and Ron Rivero help them into the car.
Get comfortable
as the start up process is rehearsed.
When you're ready
the starter is activated and the fire breathing hemi comes to
life.
Once the engine
is fired you're in your own world. For several minutes you can
just imagine what it was like to drive this car at 200 in the
quarter mile.
The team monitors
the engine temperature and "whacks" the throttle throughout
the procedure.
When the engine
gets too hot, the "ride" is over. Gas is poured into
the injector as the fuel shut off is pulled. This prevents a
backfire.
Bottom line -
you're one happy camper with a very unique memory and photos
to prove it! Stop by the Frantic 4 booth and experience it for
real!
