Jet dragsters are an impressive show live. Even more impressive is how much more effective ICE's still are in a drag race.
Jet propulsion [sex magick] is great after the initial inertia is overcome, but they lose TONS of advantage off the starting line because they are pushing against air, instead of rubber on road. There's a reason carrier craft have backstops and a launch ram in the runway.
But the noise and spectacle is amazing. You feel it more than hear it as it pulses immense power through the grandstands.
