Caught just as they both launched. They're both lifting their front left wheels. Got lucky on this one as it was just a single shot at not a burst.

I swear I LOVE the smell of burnt rubber :P We were sitting near the start and ended up with rubber bits on our faces and clothes.

It was my wife's first time watching dragsters and funny cars. When the first pair of dragsters on alky went to do their burnouts she nearly shit herself :lol: You could feel it in your chest pretty good from where we were sitting.

Just be sure to bring ear plugs for safety. I didn't have any so I had my bluetooth jammed in my right ear and I plugged my left ear with my left finger while I shot with my right hand. I had to be sure to turn my head to the right as they went by so the sound didn't get past the bluetooth. Kind of ghetto but it worked for me. Top fuel dragsters and funny cars are even louder! As a kid I remember the most intense thing to watch was the jet cars. That seriously rattled your cage.

Words can't even describe how loud those funny cars and top fuel dragsters are... they need to be felt in person. I went to that event a few years ago.. pretty cool stuff. The air ripples behind the cars as they fly down the strip. They also rebuild their engines after every 1/4 mile pass!

Very cool pics, went to one of these events at Sac Raceway and left the place almost deaf, but had a ton of fun!!
