And Now, The Rest of The Story..............

As promised in my last blog I am showing you what else happened to the dragster as he progressed down the track. He blew an oil line and caught fire. Now this is something that the NHRA track officials frown on because it oils down the track and they have to pause in the action to clean it up and prepare the surface again. You may ask what preparation are done to the track. They have to scrape the rubber laid down by the race cars and then apply a sticky substance to the surface to allow the racers tires get a better grip on the track. Besides frowning on this "oiling down" the racer is fined $1000. So you can see this was a bad run all the way around.

I have finished off this photo two different ways. Let me know which you like better (or not).
