If your like or have thought of driving a pro car this games very good ..Many cars to choice from in all three classes. Also to make your job easier there is the arcade mode tunng is done for you and works fine ..Pro mode is there also but takes a lot of trial and error..The only thing I have seen is if you go under .390 reaction time you redlight period !! ..

The game locks up on Vista, but is super great fun on the XP. Using the Momo Force Steering Wheel on the XP really make the game fun. And setting up the various drive configurations for the different tracks weather is also fun. (But just as I had one track figured out, they suddenly changed the weather conditions, so I had to start from scratch.....almost. But that is part of the fun.) All in all...a very enjoyable game.

NHRA TFT is one game in a very limited selection of actual Drag Racing themed games. The learning curve is difficult- as far as being really competitive- even in the easy mode. But you do need to be a fanatic of these type of games- in order to even enjoy. Graphics are mediocre as is the average in this genre. The sound is better than average. I've collected 3 of the NHRA/ValoSoft games, and also 2 IHRA/Bethesda drag games. I need to say this- Will a developer like EA please release a strictly Drag Racing event game with all the Tuning and mechanical accuracies- yet also with a boost in Graphics and Sound. It'll need to have a huge selection of street cars- but also a chance to builda real dragster, etc. NFS Pro Stree isn't bad, but it isn't realistic. So, this is as good as it gets, folks!
