I was surprised to see this Top Fuel Dragster on ESPN.

Big fan.  IIRC Jesse James sponsored a TF dragster some time ago.  It had some sort of ar15 rifle pictured on the sides of it.

I owned Eurosport up till 97 Sold it and opened SpeedTek. Sold that in 2000 to some friends that renamed it Speedline.
Worked for Atomic Motorsports for a little while. Then 2006 or so started playing around with cars under SpeedTek.
Speedline played with some bikes. In the 90's we built some fast mopeds & cars

I saw this thread and had a flashback to my youth when we would go to Orange County International Raceway just up the road in Irvine. If the whiners crying about the noise at the range think they have it bad, they're lucky they don't have a dragstrip within 5 miles! We could hear the top fuel guys at our house all weekend. Used to hop the back fence into the staging area when we didn't have money.
Some pictures of the awesomeness back in the day!

Cool, I remember having some stuff done on my R6 at a shop called SpeedTek around '03-'04.  Back in those days, drag racing, sportbike track days and drifting was still around as the track was still open.

grew up with the illegal drags at the Great Highway SF.   gatherings at Mel's drive in was like American Graffiti.  and yes girls used to roller skate up with your order and tray to hang from the door window. 

on the "last" family vacation to Disneyland (sis and I now teens and soon no longer interested) my Dad took us cruising one friday night down Van Nuys Blvd. to see all the hot rods!  It was freaking awesome, we stayed till way after midnight.  a dream for a young car nut in the hot rod mecca of Southern Cal.  I can still see a lifted Chevelle loudly rumbling down the street and the girl in the passenger seat turned to smile.  turned me into a bowtie fan ever since :)
