I want to find the poo poo head with the camera who's right in the way not helping at all, and punch him in the face with his own foot...

If you're not helping, get the gently caress away.

Yeah, I hope that guy was tossed out. That type of car is localized mainly to New York state, and the tracks that run them usually let the photogs in for a cut rate and let them stand in areas where spectators aren't allowed. Part of that agreement is you stay the gently caress out of the way, and never, ever enter the track.

The concept that someone might rear-end them without them intending it or trying to cause it as part of an insurance scam probably shocked most of them into complete inaction. I think this is the first Russian dashcam video I've seen where someone runs into the back of someone else without at least one party intending it.

Warning, I have never worked with car dynos. If the dyno has induction breaking it could be to help cool the heat exchanger.

That thing is just crazy. Can't even begin to imagine how hard it must be to drive this thing straight. The driver can't even keep all 4 wheels on the track!

I like to think it makes up for it with 1000hp/ton (875hp to 875kg) and 0-240kph in 7 seconds.
