Im not a really big drag racing fan but this video is amazing. The tire distortion and the fact that you can see the spoiler working is nuts! Oh, and the giant fire balls from the engine dont hurt the coolness factor either.

Very cool vid. I've never seen the tiire distortion in slo-mo at speed. I heard that start to finish the motor only spins 900 revolutions. Just thought i would add something else to this thread.

The not at all round shape of the tire at 3:25 was amazing. VERY cool video. Cooler than the similar video I saw a while back. Thanks for sharing!

2:50 - 3:00 the distorted tires and vapor trails off the wing are awesome. Great find, I love this stuff

That's pretty sweet, especially the wingtip vortices in the humid air. Random question: If the chutes are packed incorrectly or fail to deploy, is it as devastating as I think it would be?
