We heard a strange sound last night about 9 o'clock. It was loud. Couldn't place it. We went outside. It seemed to be coming from the agricultural field across the fence on the north side of the park. Something like maybe a hot air balloon flame on steroids; a jet engine; maybe firing up giant crop heaters for the impending cold weather. None of those explanation made sense though. Asked around. Found out.
There is a dragstrip three and a half air miles from here. Sometimes we hear them running on Saturday nights. This Saturday night, last night, was different. What we were hearing was a jet engine; more specifically three jet engines attached to a semi-truck called Shockwave. 36,000 horsepower.
It made two exhibition runs. It would have looked something like this video I found on YouTube:

It was exciting, even from here, not knowing what it was.
