Looks like a lot of them stuffed in big motors and forgot to setup the rest of the car. I wonder how many hours they were down for track cleanup?

i was there in orlando and let me say this

if you like racing like i do its a must do event

your limited to 10.5 tire or drag radials depending on the class you race in

we are talking about 1500-2500 hp on small tires

its a real challenge getting her down the track

You need a set of "BIG ATTACHMENTS" to power down one of those cars!

I liked the scene just before the golf cart wheelie

It's like the nuthouse had a picnic!

I think if you attend one of those events you may be able to gather up enough parts from what falls off on the track to build a car. Cool Video, some sick rides....

Great video! Some of those boys need to visit Leo at Neverlift Good Lord. They spend more time going up than forward. Makes for great photo opportunity, though. Maybe I'm just jelaous that I can't put my car on the bumper

Whats funny Paul, is about ten years ago, you couldn't possibly put a small tire in to the 8's. All the top stangs we're tubbed.

I was amazed when Job Spetter Jr's car a few years ago did 7's on a small tire.

Technology has come a LONG way....and in agreement with your car, it's passes are "TEXTBOOK".
