Laguna Seca Spring Classic showcasing Nitro Revival.

The noise and smell were amazing!

There was something to please everyone at the Laguna Seca Spring Classic.  Even though I am not normally a dragster fan these classic restored dragsters made a big impression on me, especially when the top fuel dragsters were given a push start fire up during the Saturday lunchtime break. An incredible sound!  The smell of the nitromethane was also amazing.  A pity I  couldn't stay for the Saturday evening line of fire.  Over 30 members of the International Dragster Hall of Fame were present.   perhaps, these picture will give a little flavour of the spectacle.
