Most of you aren't cool enough to even understand how fast this is but the hotrod guys will get it. I've been following rumors of this build via internet rumors and slivers of first hand information from friends of my dad who helped with the body work. Enjoy.

That launch was nuts, and those numbers are scary crazy.

I know he's just playing by the rules, but I have a hard time taking the "street legal" term seriously anymore.

Headlights work and he just drove 1000 miles in it. He's actually got two sets of doors for it stock steel for driving then carbon fiber for racing. There's a all metal first gen camaro there running sub 7s consistently.

Most of these guys have two sets of injectors and tune down to run 91 then when it's time they pull the radiator switch to the second tank and run alcohol for the track. It's nuts.

I don't mind the tuning and fuel switch as any street car could do the same. I think it's the removing of parts for the track that takes a little something out of it for me.

Either way, it's still cool as hell.:thumb:

The guy who actually won the unlimited event has his old car, I believe a 2x winner for sale that does 6.9x for only 200k.

Amazing! I love that drag week series. Remember seeing his old record years ago. Had no idea the guy/car was from oak grove. I remember whooping oak groves arse in football in high school :)

How funny would it be for him to go over the speed limit by around 15 mph on a straight highway, have a police car begin to pull him over and then have him hit the gas!

Cop would shit his pants! ROFL

The most impressive part is he has been driving it track to track for Drag Week.

Thats crazy.

And a 190MPH 1/8th mile run? Good grief that's insane.

That may have been an alcohol related response. But I have heard that a 9 sec car will give you a concussion if you launch without your head back against the seat.

He drove 1000 miles pulling a trailer then set a world record. Here's a pic I snapped of larson replacing an alternator belt in the rain. user/dunerdr/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image-17.jpg.html]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p277/dunerdr/Mobile%20Uploads/image-17.jpg[/URL]
