NHRA 2008 Testing Phoenix

I have to admit, I love the sound dynamics from the roof of the suites. A little bit of it comes through the vid.

NHRA Top Fuel drivers Doug Kalitta (Mac Tools) v. Hot Rod Fuller (Caterpillar) around mid- to late-afternoon on Saturday January 28 2008. Kalitta takes it with a 4.54 @ 274.33 over Fuller’s 4.66 @ 261.12. Includes start, burnout and drag.

Be sure to check out my videos from the 2008 CSK NHRA Nationals at Firebird Raceway in Chandler, Arizona.

*** 6/30/08 UPDATE: A lot of people continue to ask how I shot this because the sound is so cool. I used a Fujifilm FinePix S9000 DSLR camera, no attachments/upgrades or enhancements to the sound whatsoever. Just using the on-board microphone as shipped, and did not do any baffling or other method of sound manipulation. Also did no editing to the video whatsoever. Just a lucky catch I guess!

    Ive been to nhra drag races for the last 10 years, I havent worn plugs for the last 5 years, and I;ve stood right next to a header pipe while visiting a friends pits. So it just depends y’know

    You can always tell the folks who are new. Especially down on the fence at the starting line.
    When the light turns green for the first pair, all you see is cans dropping all along the fence!

    I know Dougie. What a fine man.
    I always joke with the NASCAR guys. I tell them if they keep pumping up the horsepower in them there NASCARS, pretty soon they’ll have enough horsepower to turn the blower on the Bud King.
    Which, by the way, I call the REAL Bud King.

    I’ve seen these cars live many times for a lot of years. It never gets old. Feeling the body rush when a pair of nitro cars go down the track is almost better than sex. I cranked this vid through my surround system and it’s the next best thing to being there. It actually shook the floor. Good job.

    Sound is really good, quite a bit of the subaudial bass comes through as well, which is my favorite part.

    I’ve been to over 30 NHRA races since I was little and this video captures the sound better than anything I’ve seen online before. Amazing. This sounds just like it does in real life (except obviously not quite as earth-shattering). All of my videos sound thin and puny but this really captures it!!!!!

    Actually, Firebird is indeed very cool. Few things beat sitting about mid-track on the eastern side while facing the mountains on a Friday evening, getting hit with that desert wind while sipping a Coors Light. Good stuff.
