They also have a "Cackle Fest" at this show. At noon they fire each of the participants up one at a time. There's a mix of Alcohol and Nitro dragsters and funny cars. They usually finished it off with Terry McMillen's Top Fuel dragster. There are always a few people who have never been around a TF dragster and are standing way to close when it fires up. It's always fun to watch them jump as there're wiping Nitro fumes out of their eyes.
