anyone seee this on National Geographic channel last night (thanks to ED for the heads up). A fascinating insight into Top Fuel and tremendous footage of Shu's wing collapse incident at Mempis (?) with candid stuff from Tony Schumacher himself, along with pretty neat cgi stuff for the folks who don't really know what a dragster is. I believe the series will also be covering DSR's bikers Antron Brown and Angelle Sampey too.

National Geographic's website lists re-runs for the Top Fuel feature on:-
16/6 3pm
17/6 7pm
19/6 11am
21/6 11pm

The Pro stock bike feature re-runs
16/6 6pm
19/6 10am
21/6 10pm
24/6 12pm

and if Top Fuel Hydros flick your switch then they are featured
22/6 11 am
23/6 2pm

I may watch the Pro Stock bike one to see if Angelle Samprey can do an interview without crying, moaning, slamming the Harleys and Buells, Tell Antron Brown he is the best thing since sliced bread, moaning about the scales and the people who operate them....and relax.

As you can tell i am not a fan.
