Default Drag Racing Filmed at 1000 fps

A high quality slow motion camera films drag races at 1000 frames per second. Its pretty cool to see the tires spin off the starting lines as well as the individual cylinders flying.

Yeh, I've seen something like this before showing you what full-bore starts do to your tyres, it's really interesting to see!

... off to do some full-bore take offs!

Very cool vid...it may have been posted here before, but who cares it was probably awhile ago and its definitely worth seeing again! That must be quite a special camera to film at 1000 fps! :shock: What those tires undergo is pretty amazing. Good link Skaala, thanks. 8)
