Is it just my eyes or does that track curve at the end? That doesn't appear to be very safe. That pass was sweet though! Very nice

nice car.. great run.. but it looked majorly downhill.

I know NHRA states a 2% decline is allowed.. and you can have it at the last bit of the track.. but man.. unless my eyes deceived me... that was really a big slope down. But still.. My car wouldnt look that good NO MATTER WHAT SLOPE YOU GAVE IT. even a 90% decline. LOL

That track looks very unsafe in many ways. Great pass though. Definitely nice testicular fortitude to make a pass on THAT track with THAT car also.

Thats Shady side dragway. I ran there for years. The track isn't downhill, the shut down area is up hill which helps slow the cars down. There is a pretty tight curve up top but you should be slowed way down by then. Lots of mid 4 second cars run there without stopping problems. It's an awesome track, nice people own it and they don't bust your ***** about driveshaft loops and other pesky safety issues
