In-Car Video: So You Want to Drive a Quick Altered?


In-Car Video: So You Want to Drive a Quick Altered?

Altereds are some of our favorite cars to watch go down the drag strip. The combo of far too little wheelbase and far too much horsepower makes for some spirited viewing. This video is great in the fact that it shows just how much “driving” is really going on in the cockpit.

There are drag racing guys who bag on road racer for being clean handed weenies, and there are road racers who bag on drag racers for being luddites who do nothing but go straight. Neither characterization is accurate of fair. The evidence regarding the amount of driving skill required in some of these machines is right in the video below.

Just watch what the car tries to do on the burnout! This is one great driver.
