Norwalk Summit Raceway

[triroo]

Always remember two things in life, your first love and your first taste & feel of Nitro…. Welcome to the club

[NineToes]

His face said what he was thinking. “What the hell did I just experience!??” 👍💪

[montybrewster]

There's nothing batter in life that introducing kids to thrilling things that blow their minds like this haa haaa. Great reaction from the little lad.

[SamBrickell]

Awww, the look of wonder was amazing to see!! :D Sometimes I miss being a kid and experiencing so many things or the first time. I was impressed that he never flinched from the sound.

[magnificentmuttley]

I just love this young man’s reaction. Brilliant. Bless him.

[theivory]

My son was about the same age when I first took him. It's priceless.

[rickhowe]

The expression on little man's face is priceless!! ❤

[mrstamp]

I think I pulled that face when I went Santa pod 4 me mates 50th never bin before and my mush looked exactly same! Well done Lad

[ScottWatson-qccb]

Only one car. My first experience was at Zmax dragway where 4 went by all oner 330 mph and BLEW my mind. I've been hooked ever since!!! Ready for 2024 Gator Nationals next week cause wife and I are going!!! ( HOPEFULLY NOT RAIN)

[BLKBRDD]

I felt this way the first time experiencing F1 during the V10 era as a kid. It sticks with you

If that is your son, I commend you for providing him with hearing protection. I'm 61 years old & grew up with a motorsport mad father & from around age 3 was exposed to high revving F1 & GT cars, 2 stroke bikes & open piped dragsters. Then in the 80's I worked on an operational Squadron in the Air Force & was exposed to jet turbines on a daily basis, often without protection, because there weren't enough to go around. These days it's impossible to have a conversation if there's loud music, or even a truck idling in the background.

[danconnors]

now that is a honest look at speed and "Can I do that?"

[kennethmantay]

that is my favorite facial reaction of all time... I know and remember my first experience with Top Fuel and it makes all other racing categories seem like amateur hour.

[orlandopadilla]

Cool. I remember my first nhra race. It was in 2013. Topeka KS. Met jfr teams. Got to hangout with the crew members of Courtney force

[ChrisMcCutcheon-wjpp]

My two boys first expression came in the pits, Memphis, last year of the throttle whack, one boy started running in circles, oldest just run, priceless

[honestspirit]

Yes young man…..that was real.
3 seconds ago that car wasn’t moving……and now it’s gone…..

[christophejergales]

That moment when your eyes blur when they're getting towards the finish line.

One of the last events I was at, there was a woman there that clearly didn't know what was about to happen. I kept saying in my head "put ear plugs in. Please put ear plugs in." The look of absolute agonizing pain on her face almost hurt me.

[WarpandXeno]

Love the smell, the sound, and the burning eyes!

[geezer]

The same feeling I had standing down by turn 1 at the start of the Indy 500, never forget it.

[nipperdog]

Take him to an indoor Monster Truck show. The only problem is after a while your eyes will be burning from the Nitro. But it really is amazing. I love your sons face. !!!!
