Slingshot Dragster Launch At 1,000 Frames Per Second

Forget about super-slo-mo films of hummingbird wings or water droplets- watching a vintage dragster spin its tires at launch is the real reason the 1,000FPS camera is such a great thing! The best part of this film- well, aside from the general batshit insanity of slingshot dragsters, of course- is that you can see individual exhaust pulses blowing the smoke off the top of the tire as it spins.
