Drag Racing slow motion video - Top Fuel Action !

Note: remember to click the "high quality" link below the video before watching!

-------------

Slow motion video footage from Drag Racing event (Nitro Nationals 2008, Alastaro Circuit, Finland).

Here's ten minute collection of various top fuel dragster action bits.. from line up to burn outs and then some drags... well not everyone made it to the finish line. :)

Note: one of the top fuel drivers in the video is Janne Ahonen, "world's fastest ski jumper" from Finland.

Hope you enjoy this clip!

Camera used here was Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1. Video was shot and edited by yours truly.

Thanks to Jarin Kuvakauppa for the camera. http://www.jarinkuvakauppa.fi

Whoa, over 100000 viewers for my small amateur video. :D Thank you all. I did shoot some more footage past summer, if I have time I make another vid.. but let's see.

I'll try to use words, they rattle your eyeballs!! And since they are rattling and you can't see anything, you FEEL them going down the track, because it rattles everything else. By the time the race is done, you are trying to figure out what happened. When the 9.90 cars come out (which is fast, respectable time) you feel like you are waiting an eternity for them to finish!! You really do have to go to the track and see these things. It is unlike anything else.

Awesome vid!! well done. like wlaukaitis said, they shake everything with incredible force. words really can't describe just how much power a top fueler produces, nor the feeling of standing next to one!

well done hlehtine! well edited, the chosen soundtracks for pre-race & race were brilliant (no 009 sound system thank god) this deserves much more than 142,747 views... nothing left for me to do but go & have a wank

@PowerStrokeDeasel Its usually methanol/alcohol. To stop the blower flaps from freezing. Because it sucks in so much air - theres a drop in pressure and ice forms around it.
