Naive drag race goer's hilarious reaction a viral hit

A naive Australian man has become a viral sensation because of his priceless reaction to the roar of the drag racing cars during his first time at a meet.

In the video, which has been watched over 200,000 times on Youtube, the man can been seen nervously waiting for the start of a race between two top fuel cars during the recent East Coast Nationals at Sydney Dragway.

“Are these the ones where the flames come out?” he asks his companion.

“Here we go, this is going to be scary, I know it,” he adds above the sound of the idling engines.

“It goes quiet,” he says before his jaw drops and he begins shaking with fear as the cars roar past.

"Holy s**t balls,” he says with the hilariously over-the-top reaction prompting laughter from his friends.

“What the hell was that?” he manages to splutter out once he regains his composure.

The 57-second clip ends with the man realising that his friend has recorded the whole thing on his phone.
