Amazing dragster crash photos
The photographer has got some real nuts......or nothing between his ears. Amazing photos either way.

But just look at the pictures! You can even see the concrete being scraped off of the wall.

I've shot NHRA and the Snap-On series drag racing from that same position. When the top fuelers launch - for that's what they do - the vibrations are so intense it rattles your internal organs so hard you hurt for a day or so inside afterwards.
I hope to not have to do it again in the near future!
