Dave Grubnic warming up at the 2006 Autolite Nationals, with two good thunderous raps on the throttle. Yes, I flinched a little. Even though I've been watching this stuff for years and know when the fuel's on the driver's going to hit it, it's still difficult not to react. You get the noise and the pressure wave all at once! Need to invest in a monopod.
This video really captures what it is like when they blip the throttle in the pits. Nice video.
