People ask me if this whole thing and my move to the United States are what I thought they would be. I haven't raced yet, so that question might be easier to answer later. But right now everything I've kind of built up in my mind about NHRA has been kind of the same.

Everything is just basically bigger over here than it is back home in Europe.
