Yup, quarter mile only. Last year basically a carbon fiber Pro Mod won, this year there's a guy in an all steel Camaro running faster :psyduck:

Also, here's a proper update on the Speed Demon

Well thats one way to avoid your car being impounded. I'm impressed it could still move afterwards.

quote:

A video has been released of the moment a man reversed his car off a tow truck.

The footage shows the man climb onto the truck, get into the Vauxhall before trying to escape with the dangerous manoeuvre.

Contractors were about to take the vehicle to a pound when the incident happened in Hazelwood Road, Walthamstow, at 8am on August 29.

The driver is then seen reversing the vehicle out of the road.

The incident was reported to the police by NSL and a crime reference obtained, but the council has not revealed whether any further action was taken.

The car was being impounded as it was parked illegally.

At those speeds there's no saving the rim anyway, so you might as well ride it out. Good on that driver.

Yeah, I was very pleased to see him show up again in my subscribed feeds. Sounds like he's been through some poo poo, but I'm glad to see he's back to playing around with stupidly dangerous amounts of electricity.

I'm not quite sure how Frost pretended to have the quickest car, it seemed to be pretty well accepted. I understand he's a midlander without a gigantic budget to said that he would come out if they'd cover his costs. I'm still impressed he manages to get an MOT.

I enjoyed watching Larsons runs and would have loved to see him braking into the 5's. But I tend to agree with him, running around with a trailer, changing door panels, removing fuel tanks, radiators, etc before making a run is a long way from driving it on the street. Cline with no trailer was much more fun.

I've been trying to find the Great bend footage of the vega blowing garden furniture all over the place.

Don't get me wrong, the dude has a fast car. It's just that in all the videos I've seen he tells everyone it's street driven, but we have no idea how many times he actually drives it on the street. If it runs sixes and he drives it 10 miles a year on the street, does that really count? He might drive it more than that, he's never really said.

At Drag Week, the guys have to drive it hundreds of miles each day for 5 days. Trailers, doors, tires, whatever, there's no hiding from actually taking it on the street.

So he can either figure out a way to get here, or stop claiming it's a street car, 'cause we all know he isn't driving that thing on UK roads all that much.

I despise those commercials, they are like nails on a blackboard. The only ones that come close to being as annoying are the Honda Fit and Dodge Dart commercials, but they are a distant 2nd & 3rd place.
