Some awesome pics there.

lol....you think that guy in the black car in post 1 would sort his suspension out ;)

Not quite in the league of pics above, but I thought my recent driveshaft going for a walk was kind of cool with the sparks.

Yes remember the day all too well, I was about 10 years old sitting in the back of the tow car with my brother, after the smoke cleared (Dad did a 330ft burnout) we saw Mum lying on the ground.....WTF. She picked herself up off the ground and staggered over the armco and collapsed. Dad accidently hit the parachute and started to reverse back, Mum thought she would pick up the chute and get it out of the way so we could make the run (we got paid per run back then) next thing bang crash mum hits the rear wheel and flys through the air, her head hit the wing which had sharp edges and her wig flew off (the whole crowd went silent as they thought her head got chopped off and in Adelaide you are right on top of the action). Dad then jumped into his GT and rushed her to hospital while we cleaned up the mess...Mum was Ok after 15 or so stitches.

Cheers Craig

Some of these photos are insane. The more I keep going to the drags, the more I can not wait for the next round. It would have to the only spectator sport that involves the audience. Watching cricket live, what do you do except drink and get sunburnt compared to the noise, vibrations, smell in the atmosphere of Top Fuel.
