I am sure most of you have seen this before but just look at how crazy this guy is lol

james_ls · 11-23-2007, 01:14 AM

I thought he was gonna loose it on a few of them.

Friggin NUTS!

the4g63 · 11-23-2007, 01:42 AM

I'd do that car.

Was that his new setup?

SpendOne · 11-23-2007, 02:47 AM

That was his setup for last year. This year the car mainly sat in peices. Alot of the drivetrain went to another racer. Im expecting so serious ish next season from him.

Scapegoat · 11-23-2007, 01:43 PM

gotta be stupid to line up next to that car... one of these days its gonna end up in the other lane against the wall

streetAssasin96 · 11-23-2007, 03:05 PM

^true, but he nearly walks everything he races. thing runs 7's consistantly

awd4g63 · 11-23-2007, 03:50 PM

Cool, Never saw that video

Kevin · 11-23-2007, 04:34 PM

Well where do I start. Yes I will race the car again but I doubt it will make any passes this season.

It came down to safety. The car could have still run the way it was and I am sure it would have clicked off some 7.5s but if I had an accident there was a good chance at well over 195 mph that I may not be around. Please remember I have a wife and 3 kids to support as well.

So as it sits the car has been acid dipped, everything from the front to the back has been taken apart and it currently has a 25.1e chassis so it will be safe and legal for 7.5 and quicker. The car was making very good progress but we finally came to the realization that it would not be ready for the beginning of the season so the decision was made to take our time and do things that we have wanted to try and as always make it unique.

All I can promise you now is that I promise you will not be dissapointed!

-John

And if he is to go down in a blaze of glory he will die a mother ****ing hero.

Glick · 11-24-2007, 02:49 AM

It takes balls to do that down the track and get back in that car to do it again.

koho2731 · 11-24-2007, 08:40 AM

I going out on a limb and saying there was something wrong either with the chassie setup or the tires that night. He has made plenty on low 8 high 7's passes and didn't have the issue with not being able to go strait.

turbo4g63 · 11-24-2007, 11:08 AM

he kept getting right out of the groove right off the line. def. a tire/suspension setup issue

Charged SVTF · 11-24-2007, 04:29 PM

Absolutely nuts, and amazing he hasnt put that thing through the ****ing wall.

enigma · 11-24-2007, 04:49 PM

Short wheelbase cars are a nightmare to get down the track once you hit those speeds.

fuzionauto · 12-08-2007, 01:39 PM

He has that car extremely light, the car actually has more power left in it.

He just can't get it down.

olmytsi · 12-08-2007, 02:41 PM

This was last october/november, i was there and it was cold (hence the losss of traction and crazy power being made).

I'm sure his wife and kids wouldn't agree.

I'm glad he took the car off the track and is going to be redoing it in such a way to make it safer for himself.

I'm sure his wife had a heart attack when he went all squiggly down the track like that.
