Compliation of top fuel dragsters and funnycar races/crashes from the NHRA's competitions over in the US - some fantastic slow mo shots!

Good demonstration of the forces they put through the tires right at the start as well....

Watch out for Gary Scelzi's slow-mo engine hydraulic lock which then blows the entire car apart, similar happens to Ron Capps not much further on! Note the complete abscence of the top engine after the blowup :shock:

And people wonder why they have kevlar blankets wrapped round the heads and blower :lol:
