i'll admit it, even if i drag raced everyday i dont think i would ever have the stones to try and drive a car that quick. i would totally ride in one though...

i totally dig the truck in the end. somebody should do a scale campershell like that.

Great vid Mike. Was there watching on saturday. Everyone should also know that this was held at a local airport, not a real drag strip. I dig the 3rd gear bobble/lift early in the vid

so you were there when our friend bill crashed his comet. i was the guy driving the gulf cart out on the track right after it happened. bills 70 years old and was out of the hospital the next morning. the roll bar and 5 point race harnes saved his life.
we are heading over to mission this weekend and are hopein to get a 7.59 to 7.50
i will also be getting some bonus footage and will make a vdeo of these guys

Thats the thing, if you did drag race everyday you would want to go faster.
