holy fuck that tree is eating the sky!

today i went and saw the NHRA time trials. not really into drag racing. but my boss is and he bought a suit at the local NHRA drag strip. aside from a few 4 second runs and one 3 second run, the best part was the noise. it really is a wonderful racket that the top fuel cars produce. the front engine dragsters scare the shit out of me. the driver is basically sitting on the differential. all i could think about is a differential blowing apart and the shrapnel making its way through certain parts of my body.
i should have taken pictures... but i didn't.
so here is the man that made it all happen.
