5 second quarter in a truck!!? That music at the start was really gay and then I just thought it was a see who can burn the sign up the most competition, but that 5 second quarter shut me up! How the fuck would that handle with a horizontal streering wheel? They must have changed it.... surely?

Now THATS cool. [:p]

Saw this one run many years ago. The best bits are the shock waves you get when they do the fast blasts on the way to the line.

i'd hate burst your bubble but it was an 1/8 mile still fast though

Ah, that explains it. The camera zooming in and out must have confused me as to scale. Thought that was a bit fast for a truck.

Especially when you consider a jet takes a bit to get moving those things were just winding up, I reckon the next 1/8th would've been pretty quick.[:p]

This is why insurance premiums are so high... I almost would have paid to see that red neck turned into a giant marshmallow.

Driving them must be an adreneline pumping experiance, i remember Ken Warbys truck at Heathcote yrs ago , he would sit in the truck for ~15 mins before a run staring straight ahead.
