A Dragster at 328 MPH
« on: October 08, 2018, 09:22:34 am »
I love this picture from Mark Rebilas.  A dragster at 328 mph, getting everything from every part and piece on the car.  Body panels twisted from the chassis arching, a hint of green in the exhaust flames from the copper gaskets being nicked, the orange glow of the headers, "sparklers" flying as microscopic pieces of internal parts leave the exhaust, contrail off the wing and the squaring of the slick as it copes with 5,000 lbs of downforce and centrifugal force.
