Drag racing is the only race that I can think of where spectators are only interested in watching the start. This is the New England Dragway, located in Epping, NH. I had an errand to run in the area today and paused for this aerial photograph. I was very tempted to launch my E-tron down the track and there appeared to be nothing preventing me from doing so. In the end, I decided that the track owners would probably take a dim view of an unauthorized test run and resisted the urge

Also spotted at the track was this old fire truck. Not quite sure how this fits in with drag racing but it was too cute to pass up.
