[Jockney Rebel]

thats somewhat crazy but this is certifiable:
take a 60yr old WW2 FIGHTER PLANE soup up that twin supercharged Rolls Royce merlin by a factor of 100% from 1500hp -3000hp give it Spitfire gearing so that the prop tips hit supersonic speeds ..almost,
chop 3feet off the wings ..
then fly it at 50feet round a 9mile course ..flat out ![remember a stock P-51 would do 400+mph straight and level]
and you have arguably the worlds fastest motor sport.............. welcome to the world of unlimited warbird racing! http://www.warbirdaeropress.com/VideoPage.html
