Hey there all, i figure this is the right place for this.

I'm currently looking for a good video of a drag racing crash, preferably top fuel/methanol big boys, but other cars will do. I've taken a look around places, but i can really only seem to find low quality ones, i am wondering if anyone may happen to know somewhere where i can find a good vid. I will be burning it to DVD to play on a tv, so if its downloadable without too much fuss, even better.

The reason i need it is to conduct a take on a psychology experiment about memory (those who have studied psychology probably know which one i mean) which involves a car crash, and since i like drag racing, i thought i'd combine the two.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think the best video I found recently was on YouTube - its not the greatest quality but the footage is AMAZING, its mostly extreme slow motion captures with some great on-board shots that you don't usually see...

To extract the video go here:

You can then play it with VLC Player (good for DIVX & .AVI files too)

The Bruce Allen crash from the NHRA race at Dallas last fall would be a great example.

Hey - I didn't mind the first (music) track on that youtube vid. Is anyone able to tell me the name of the artist?

Funny thing that. Normally I hate music that's included in video compilations.

Nimetic,

The first song is from Muse. The song is "The Small Print" on their album Absolution.

They're an amazing band.

I agree that it works pretty well with the video.

Thanks, that's great. I'll check them out this weekend.

Funny. When I saw this thread, that was the first thing I thought of.
