I’m in a drag racing mood today and I’m also sitting in a doctors office waiting so I’m watching a lot of videos. I thought this one was awesome. For the first half or so of the video you get to see some of the prep that goes into drag racing on this level. Check track temps, packing the chute, etc. Then you see the run and finally towards the end you get to see it all in slow motion from the tire deformation to the cylinder firing order. Followed by some sped up footage of the tear down and rebuild of the engine for the next run. It’s pretty awesome. It’s a Vimeo video so I’ll put it after the jump because their videos always slow down the front page.
