Man in black?
Who's the guy dressed all in black, armed with binoculars, camera, etc. He sometimes lies down on the starting line, takes photos of Fuel Cars tyre marks after they've launched.
Who is he, what is his job and does he work for a particular team?

Re: Man in black?
He is DSR's 'track guy'. ESPN did a bit on him a few races ago on NHRA Race day (I think).
He pretty much knows everything there is to know about each and every track on the tour. He even maps out the bumps in each lane.

I never knew that either until I clicked on the site. Learn something new every day.

No kidding. The things that make ya go "huh?"
It looks like it may be fairly new (or maybe that's just the website). |

What about taste, I do believe that each tracks rubber on the launch pad is probably different because of location. I prefer mine with sweet baby rays honey barbecue...
