Guess he'll be needing a new set of tires soon. One of those spins looks like something I did on the auto X course last year.

I couldn't have said it better.

If that had been me, I'd be stuck between a couple of trees now.

Thanks for the video! Just what I needed to wake me up on a Saturday morning. But I've been wasting time, since I've watched it about 30 times. Sweet!!!

That's a 77 with a 400ci in it. He's got to be pushing 500hp.
He's also a forum member.

Thanks for clearing that up! I wasn't sure what he said at the end. I can't imagine allowing any friend to take a turn doing that with my car. Almost makes me think it's the camera-man's car, especially with the camera dude saying "Oh my god". But "AGVI" says the driver is a form member.

It doesn't take that much, put some 3.73 gears behind a decent motor and you can do that all day. I've done that with my crossfire engine that was converted to a carb with a very small lunanti cam in it. I know that was no where near even 350 hp.

Holy Smoke!!

It took my breath away as it was backing up towards the trees. I have no doubt that was not his first attempt at doing that. I'm not sure I got the ***** to do it in my car but I sure would give it a try in someone else's car.

That would be AKRAY4PLAY, and it is more than 300hp, 600HP to be exact. Last time I talked to him he was going to start building an all aluminum 632.

He's a knowledgable guy and helped me a lot through the process of building my 406. I haven't seen him post around here in some time, I think he's mostly at the CAC.
