By no means is it sharp (hand held no flash) but it shows the pure raw power of these machines.
This was the final of the Top Fuelers for the night, the Santos car can be seen blowing it's engine hence the unusual exhaust flames but still managed to do the quarter in 10 seconds!
I pre-focused and kept any eye on the Xmas tree, just goes to show the drivers reaction time compared to mine! :D
