VIDEO: Drag racing tires in slow-mo

The video meant to be presented here is no longer available. Sorry for the inconvenience.



We always assumed that every component of a top-fuel dragster or funny car undergoes an unthinkable amount of stress on each run, but this high-quality, slow-motion video shows exactly how a drag racing tire reacts to the extreme amount of abuse it takes each time down the track. As substantial as these rubber doughnuts are, the power of a dragster's motor has no trouble making them quiver like Jell-O.
