In drag racing, the launch of the car only last a few hundreds of a second. This high-speed camera was able to capture what the eye cannot see.

Nostalgia Drag Racing is a fantastic series that features dragsters, funny cars and muscle cars from the past racing on the quarter mile.

This amazing footage was captured by the high-speed, 240-frames per second video camera at the New England Dragway in Epping, New Hamphire on May 30th, 2010.

The music is "O mio babbino caro" by Giacomo Puccini.

Look carefully at the huge deformation of the rear tires at the moment of the start. Mind blowing!
