March Meet Carnage! Funny Car Engine Explosion

Photographer Paul Sadler caught this spectacular action sequence as the engine in Gary Densham’s Teacher’s Pet Camaro Funny Car let go with a bang.

The first shot in the sequence was taken a tenth of a second before the body started to come apart. Gary’s son, Steven, was driving.
