Yeah great video!!
I also found the individual cylinder firing mega cool!
While i dont find drag racing over appealing, i cant help but gorp at the Top Fuel Dragsters traveling around 300mph in just 400meters!!

I have always told my friends that like cars but dont like drag racing just to go and check out a top fuel race in person at least once. It is really something to see, hear and feel that you may never experiance anywhere else.
Cool video. Its amazing to see the pressure those tires have to stand up too.

I love highspeed film!
Pretty damn cool to see the tires folding and rippling.. I was expecting just to see the tire expanding as they accelerated. Thanks!

Whoooa, that's really awesome! I had no idea the tires were 'wrinkled' to that extent, that is amazing, thanks for the vid. 8)

Great high speed film indeed!
I agree with the other guys. Even if your not interested in drag racing. Just go once to top fuel drags.
You can't describe just how much they shake the stands and the earth around them including your brain! 
Sorta like formula1. Even if you dont like it, just go see it once, to hear the sound of 20,000rpm going past you on the main straight! 8)
