I decided to post this here because of the readership- drag week enthusiasts. Over on the bullet is a thread regarding Andy Frost's Red Victor being the fastest street car in the world- 6.50 or something like that. The ensuing argument about that is it a real street car and that it should do Drag Week. You might remember that last year Hot Rod's Facebook page had a conversation between a staffer and either Andy Frost or one of his crew about him coming to DW. The argument is it cost too much $$ (somebody forgot to tell Wacky Mick). Anyway, I got to thinking that the argument centers around the idea that RV is a street car. How about a Road Kill episode where the hosts go to England and spend part if not all of the week with RV and Frost in DW style road tripping and racing with limited or no outside help. Granted, unless you can find a few strips willing to participate, the racing might be sparse- a couple of runs at a regularly scheduled race at the beginning and several days of 250 miles per day ending with a couple of runs at a strip the last day.
To me, this would settle Frost's claim that his car is a street car and that it can run the numbers. I would have a new found respect for his car if he can do 600 miles and lay down some numbers. Plus it would give Road Kill at least one more good episode if not 2.
What do you think? Would it solve anything? Thoughts?
