Drag Racing
« on: July 23, 2009, 06:50:22 AM »
I seem to be making a few new topics in the Auto section... lets just say its right up my alley :-D

Drag Racing is my most favorite sport to watch no matter how much people criticize it I cant get enough of it... as a hobby I take photos at the Western Australia Drag Strip, I post them up on my website http://www.fastmotionphotos.com... so I figured it would be cool to start a topic for discussion :-D

Decided to give this thread a jump start since nobody replied. 

Drag racing is harder than it looks and it's not about who has the bigger engine and in the NHRA when in goes wrong for the pros, it usually ends up going in a big way!

No.  I don't want another incident like that ever happening again.  We nearly lost John Force at Dallas a few years back because of an accident.

Naryar may know a bit about robots, but when it comes to motorsports, he apparently wouldn't know his brains from a radiator.

Sir, your humor detector appears to be broken. May I suggest hitting yourself on the head to fix it ?
