NHRA my friend. Not even close for me, actually it's the only motorsport I can stand to watch on television. Being at a live NHRA event is unbelievable. I try to make it to Vegas every year.

i hear that. nascar is ok but, theres nothing like 16,000
collective horsepower firing up at one time.
covering 1/4 mile in under 5 seconds at 330 mph from a
standing start.
get goose bumps just talking about it

Popularity of the sport is a two-edged sword. The way NHRA is now, the fans get to be up close and personal with what's going on. You can stand there at the pits and watch the crews break down the cars and rebuild them just a few feet away. Also, you can get autographs/photos easily. Try that at a NASCAR event. To get near the drivers, you either have to get a ticket including a hospitality pass or a garage pass-much more expensive that at an NHRA event.
