Jet cars, up close and personal (Part 2)
Posted By: Mooncatt, 06-03-2023, 07:55 PM

Here's the rest of the fire play from last Saturday. In the first part, I showcased the cars only from the team that hosted me, but of course it gave me access to the others I'm sharing in this post.

That vibrant red, white, blue, and gold version of the Crossfire team is easily my favorite graphic at the event, but unfortunately it had a flame out at the start and I didn't get a down track shot of it that would have been interesting. At least we didn't have to worry about any mosquitos after it thanks to the massive amounts of smoke as a result. Lol.

The Dragon's Fyre jet truck is just insane. It has the largest fire by far, and the heat from it is more intense than anything else there. It's the only jet I saw people backing away from, and you can see a few doing that in one of its photos.

The Chicago Rush team dragster with the tail fin (aka, The Shark) had what I think was the fastest run of the event, clocking a nearly 300 mph trap speed. That's nuts for a jet dragster!

The Tough Jet funny car is just boomy. Every driver/team has something unique about them, and this one just has an afterburner pop that is more of a thud than a kick in the chest.

Wow! Great series of shots, Pity we don`t have a Smell, Sound, and Feel app for shots like these. Would love to be there to experience the action.

Wow! Those are some wild looking rides. Those cars can really put down some thunderous runs. Excellent series.

Seek out a drag strip and you may find they hold a special event with jets of their own. It is certainly an experience.
