ok, i have to applaud that guy's pioneering attitude and dedication to accomplish this. It would have been hard to make and i have to respect that.... i respect that even more if it actually works. The guy is obviously as much in love with horsepower and fabrication as I am.
But, dear lord, that contraption looks like it's just ASKING for trouble.

You gotta admire a guy with the gumption to build something like this. But what happens when the car busts loose from this contraption and careens into the neighbor's trailer house while he's on the john reading Redbook and contemplating the ecological ramifications of six billion homo sapiens shedding their epidermis.

actually if hes driving a hydaulic pump it would be very accurate,and repeatable/dependable.
just restrict the flow and monitor the max pressure attained then do the math.im bettin the air brakes there to lock the thing till its ready to rock and or roll
now that axle and chain affair for hold down is a little spooky,and it seems like two axles to cradle into woulda been better but hey i admire his efforts.plus its obviously a prototype so what the hey. i give it a

With all of the power that race car is making, I hope the tube that is attached to the strain gauge that is attached to the car is strong enough or see above threads. Would hate to see that car fall of the "dyno" sideways. I wonder how the guy got around his neighborhood convenants.
