To enter the Park, you sign a massive liability waiver form basically saying this is a very dangerous place and you're on your own. Mess up at your own risk.

You can't just get on the drag strips sometimes to shoot only 15 feet from cars with high octane jet fuel grade gas, nitro boosters and many things that can and do go BOOM.

You first need permission from the head of the OSCA to which I thank and I thank Matt for making this level of access possible for me.

Even then, to be on the starting gates, you've got to have big ear protection and have the respect of the racing boss who coordinates all launches. He calls the shots - follow his safety instructions, learn to communicate with hand signals at all times or be kicked out of his track in the blink of an eye.

Here's Matt second start of the day.
