I shot this clip at the recent Japshow at Santa Pod Raceway, not perfect but FireForce is a bit of a challenge, I was standing on the spectator bank just past the halfway point of the quarter mile track so the vehicle passed me at over 200 mph!
One day I will get a prefect clip Laughing

Turn up the volume on your PC, click the link and as they say at The Pod, "Come and feel the noise"

That was a comparatively slow run by Martin's standards, he likes to get around 5.9 seconds but they've been having fuelling probs with the car.
FireForce is not only the Worlds fastest jet car, it's the only one to have a poem Cool

Fire Force 3.

The day was cold, the air was still
Not a breath of wind did stir.
One Man in a Jet powered dragster,
Was about to conquer the World.

All eyes were on the FireForce
And its driver Martin Hill.
The trackside lined with eager fans,
As all around stood still.

Months of testing, graft and toil,
The American dominance was about to spoil.
Two eight eight for the morning run
Could this really be the one.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The engine roars,
As all the windows shake.
The only machine at Santa Pod
To create its own Earthquake.

Lights go green, a deafening scream
As Martin lets it rip!
As if powered by molten fire,
The monster tears along the strip.

The gantry lights flash up!
Three three six point one.
The record's back in Britain,
Now the chasing has begun.

Tim Huckle. 17th April 2005.
Written to celebrate the World Jet Dragster Record.
Set by Martin Hill in FireForce 3
At Santa Pod Raceway on Easter Sunday.

I gave a dozen copies to the team when I met them at one of the shows last season, so always stop and chat to them at every show now Very Happy

Glad ya like em guys, it sure aint easy keeping FireForce on the frame.
These two clips are from Redline Rumble, the first one shot from behind the start up area ( not a good place to be cos ya get choked with diesel fumes and every time the burner fires it's like being whacked with a dustbin lid Laughing

Cheers mate, I will get it perfect one day, maybe I'll go to the next big race meeting and try and film a top fueller, 0 - 300 in 5 seconds should be a bit of a challenge Cool
