Video is from the SCCA Pro Solo at Z-Max Dragway outside Charlotte, NC last weekend. Pro Solo is autocross, but differs from the regular autocross format by normally being two (as close to) mirrored courses (as the site layout/conditions allow) and featuring a dragrace style start, complete with a Christmas tree light start lights. Where a normal autocross course will often see run times around 60 seconds, Pro Solo courses normally see run times in the 30 second range.
Clyde, remind me how the timing lights work in pro solo. Do they have two sets of lights? Or are they staging them 60 feet back from the lights to capture a 60 foot time?

Regardless, judging from the video that car is already going 40-50 mph by the time it crosses those lights.
