🤔 My Husband Wants to Take Our 5-Year-Old to NHRA… Am I Nuts for Thinking It’s Too Early?

So my husband is a lifelong drag racing nut (like wakes up at 6am to watch qualifying replays kinda nut), and he wants to take our 5-year-old son to his first NHRA national event this summer. I love that they bond over cars — our kid already knows what a “blower” is and thinks Top Fuel is the coolest thing ever. But I can’t help worrying… isn’t 5 a bit young for that kind of noise and intensity? I’ve seen videos of people literally flinching from the nitro hits. Adults with tears running down their faces from the sheer violence. How does a little kid handle that? He says we’ll get the best ear protection, maybe even double up with muffs and plugs. Still — part of me wonders if we should wait till he’s a few years older, when he can really appreciate it (and not just be terrified). Am I being overprotective? Would love to hear from other parents who’ve brought young kids. Was it amazing for them… or did they melt down before the second pair even fired up? #NHRA #DragRacing #Parenting #CarFamily
