I cannot imagine the sound... The echo from the building is very significant in the city. Just my Camaro with a 383 echos to the point where people stop and stare. I would think a few windows might crack if they actually lit off a fuel dragster...
Richard I doubt they'd ever let the Torco team lite that car off in Time's square! Too many winey bastards waiting to Bitch about anything! But I'd LOVE to see it!
I'm glad to see that joe from new Mexico knows enough about the people in New York to know that there are " too many winey bastards waiting to bitch about anything". Joe where do you get your information from????? i'm pretty sure you don't know what yer talking about since you've got close to 2000 posts on this forum and that usually means you don't leave the house much. Fact is there are alot of drag racing fans in new york and the surounding area. And a few of us have been posting on this forum for a long time. i think you might of heard of Mike Ashley and Tony Bartone. Both from the New York Area. And as Jackee said people from new york are very open to new experiences.
12 Million plus people in the Greater NY area means you are sure to get some whiners, but the exposure to that number offers a tremendous opportunity.
NYC probably has a sound ordinance that would preclude firing up a nitro car.
It was the Hot Dog Stand Digger, and I know the local PD would not let him, either fire it up, or do the pre-planned burnout... I could use the help also...Jesse James fired up a car a couple of years ago when he was on the David Letterman Show. It was probably one of the Monster Garage cars. Anyone remember? Help!!!
I love New Yorkers! It is great people watchin'!!!
According to Compplus, leading up to E-town Angelle Sampey, Melanie and Ashley will be on Good Morning America! That should be Huge!
Sure be awesome if they fired up the Torco dragster in Time square!

After the tragedy in Tenn. these ladies had better be well prepped if they do get on the show. No doubt, they'll be fielding questions about the crash.
This has transcended from being a "feel good" piece to hard news. The questions will be pointed and will have to be answered in a forth right manner with no "cover up" or avoidance. What's done is done, unfortunately, but IMO, these women do have an opportunity to put a positive Face to Professional DR in light of the preceding tragedy. They will have to be well prepared by a news media professional, and then answer as the stand up women they are in their own words. This may well be a defining moment for DR.These ladies are well schooled in pr. I am sure they will be perpared to answer the questions. Remeber it did not happen at a NHRA track. The only problem is AMS Pro Mod will also be at Englishtown this weekend. It may come up on the show.
