My name is Jenn-o and I work at a local radio station here in Grande Praire, Alberta...
Not too long ago we had the GP Drag Wars here and I was fortunate enough to take a ride in a 2-seater dragster at 170-180 MPH (yes MILES per hour) in 4.5 seconds at 6:30 am.
The equipment is so heavy and intense because the G-Force Feels like multiplying your body weight by 3.
They put a neck brace, fire retartant suite, emergency eject, tie your arms down with wrist bands, & more just to be safe.
It was the ride of a lifetime...and actually felt like I was being launched from a rocket at the speed of light...it was incredible and impossible to describe!!!
