Wow, really nice man. These are pretty crazy machines.... I have heard the same thingabout cockpit noise. I have also heard they aren't that much of a handful "IF" everything is right.

Thanks for the comments!! Since the driver is in front of the engine, they are "opposite" the engines output and noise. All they hear is the turbine. I know, it doesn't make sense but thats what they say. At full throttle, the engine draws in enough air in one second to completely "suck out" a 3 bedroom house.

Good Video..! Informative too. I was told that "Inside" the Cockpit the extreme loudness of the Jet is minimized for the Driver.
WHY is that and HOW is that possible?

I met Jessie Harris of New York here in Tulsa on August of 2007 and have been quite impressed with Jet Dragsters. And of course...Jessie...!
She is So Cool in person.

Good job on the video! Thats what I like about Drag racing, you can talk t o most of the drivers and owners and see the cars close up. Keep up the g ood work.
