Very cool. Thanks for taking the time to share with us. If I was you I think I would do it at least once. Couple questions for ya.

1 - Was that red Vette running along side that square truck looking thing just messing with him? Looked like he was trying to make him feel good about running.

2 - How did the hood hold up on the black C5-Z? If I remember correct, I think he was having issues with his last hood.

1.) Yes he was just running beside him. Just for fun. These cars at this event are mostly 700-1100 HP...

2.) Thats Matt's car. He has a Tiger Shark hood now and he ran great.

Awesome video. I went to the Chicago 1/2 mile as a spectator last year. There were some bad *** cars running there.

Thanks !
Work has been INSANE lately.
Most days I leave home at 6am, and get home at 8pm or so.
Not much time for surfing after work, and family time.
I'm still here though. When I can.
