I'll definitely say spectating Drag Week a few years ago, and watching the live feed, along with checking out all of the various coverage on youtube, gives you a new appreciation for what can be a street car and what effort is involved to race some of these cars. The people doing this kind of stuff seem to do everything themselves, aren't afraid of work, help everyone else, and don't quit when they get tossed a crappy hand. It's pretty remarkable to see, and is inspiring for somebody with a hot rod in the garage that wants to get in on the action. It was also cool that most of the same people showed up to race Roadkill Nights.

I still can't believe in 2 weeks Richard Guido put 7200 miles on a 4000# car that runs in the 8's with a manual trans and a Pontiac motor!
