Unreal!

I'm thinking the description should have also said cylinders misfiring. There was a nice long pause on that top fueler that was towards the end. The tire slipage was neat. Makes you wonder how a crew cheif set up one of these cars before the advent of computers and data loggers.

Neat how the lights on the 'tree flicker - the naked eye does not see that.

Watch Bernsteins dragster again. The front lifts off the ground twice on the launch.

That is traction.
