Okay, a close second: 

Standing at the grid just a few feet from my assigned car, bundled in a fire 
suit, body temp at its upper limit, sweat pouring into my eyes, sunglasses 
abandoned to make driver eye-contact, hyper-alert. Red start-lights coming on, 
every F1 car at redline waiting for the launch control to manage the start, 
ground shaking, the sub-audable sounds vibrating my chest, headphones just 
barely keeping the scream below the pain threshold. Then out go the lights and 
all hell breaks loose, movement in every direction, launch control modulating 
everything it legally can and excess fuel exploding in the exhaust. My car away 
clean, no flags needed and back-markers approaching at already over 100 mph. 
The sound, the movement, the smells, the pressure on every human sense beyond 
its dynamic limit, another grid marshal's job done well.

God I love Formula 1. 

Rick

OH yeah - recall those rolling starts at the Times GP when we are standing 
at the start finish with the flag guy at the race start?  Here they come, 
rolling around turn 9 (then, the bottom half of a 1/2 mile asphalt oval 
track) and then the flag guy waves green?  OH YEAH - nuthing like it again. 
The Over 2 litre and Under 2's with Pedro Rodriguez in the Ferrari and a 
pile of Porsche Carrera 6's.  Ahhhh, Willi - thems was the times, eh?

(who is still most thankful to one R W Hilser for that chapter in his life's 
book)
