          not many stay on it. I loved seeing that.

          the age thing. I look for diesels .. I want more at less rpm.

            Saw it in person- I was standing near the concession stand in the picture across the track. Coolest freakin pass I have ever seen!
            Why think when you can be doing something fruitful?

                    For some reason I almost wanna call bullshit on the MPH. It didn't look that fast to me....and that much MPH should've put more than enough air under it to flip over

                            Watch the video closely. It appears he breaks the MPH beam with the rear tires and the front tires come back to terra firma just before breaking the beams at the finish line. This would make the computer "think" the car covered roughly 10 more feet in the time it took to go from the MPH to the ET beams.

                            It's really no different than trying to glue them back on after she has her way.
