If you love the smell of burning rubber and the thunderous roar of top fuel class cars zooming around the track at 500 kilometers per hour, you won’t want to miss the NitrOlympX drag racing event at Hockenheimring Aug. 19-21.

Sparks fly, flames lick the sky and drivers compete for the best reactions from the crowds as they come face to face with danger.

The main event is the Saturday Night Show, which features a burn-out contest, show-runs, live entertainment and riveting stunts.
