And one more!

She "cheated" the camera out in front of the cars...so she could get them starting off

She told me that she knew when the cars were going to 'go'...it was when it got "really quiet"!

I think my wife is too cool...

She did a great job, Bruce! It's true, when both fuel cars fully stage the sound of the engine changes slightly, I don't know why..

Sam...the sound quality is pretty good, too! I figured that it would have been really distorted

Glad that you enjoyed them

the engine idle slows down while they take their foot off the clutch and open the fuel pump all the way. technology these days

and the only reason i know that is i have a friend that wrenches on the GREEKS top fueler!!!!

She wanted Brandon Bernstein in the upper left of this photo..so I creatively cropped it

Hint...he's right below the PPG logo! Sheesh...my wife knows these guys better than I do!
