Drag race ends with 0.0000 seconds between winner, loser

Drag racing used to be a sport of shade-tree mechanics and pink-slip swapping, but modern drag racers rely on technology and finely honed skills as much as any other professional motorsport. Here's an example: this Sunday's NHRA final that saw the winner and the loser separated by less than one-ten thousandth of a second -- with 0.0000 seconds between the two cars -- thanks to one driver's awe-inspiring reflexes.

Sunday's final in the Pro Stock class at the Ford NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals in Bristol, Tenn., featured former world champion Mike Edwards in the red car above versus Allen Johnson in his Dodge. Johnson's car made the trip down the quarter-mile faster than Edwards, hitting 207.05 mph in a 6.661-second run, with Edwards' car doing a slower 6.674-second pass at 206.16.
