When I took people out in my 65 Biscayne the look of raw fear was well worth the gallon of racing fuel we burned in a short roll.
Half of this was the insane metallic symphony of a 388 CI small block chevy stroker nailing 7k i 1st/2nd. A mechanical roller motor with a full exhaust is sweet sweet music to me.
The other half was a serious John Force burn out....back up in the tracks.....engage the launch electronics and put it on the converter with the trans brake. Most people have zero idea what is about to happen when the engine is released off the brake at full song.
Ahh the look when someone gets their first real nose full of tire smoke and then gets tossed back into the seat when the trans brake releases. Add in the rumble of a well built engine and they get hooked. It's one of those experiences you just have to experience to fully understand
