Top Fuel drag racing is a perfect application for high-speed cameras

Top Fuel drag racing is a perfect application for high-speed cameras

Watching a Top Fuel dragster hurl down the quarter mile in the low four-second mark is exciting enough, but watching the action with a high-speed camera is car porn for gear heads. Finnish magazine Tekniikan Maailma (English translation: Technology World) embedded one of its writers with the race team, and while there is plenty of great footage of what seems to be an average race weekend, the meat of this video is from around the 2:05 mark until about 3:30. The video was shot in such slow motion that as the cars sit in the staging area, one can actually see the firing order of the engine via the exhaust.
