Heres a vid my driver made at our last night drags. Its summer down here & its dragracing time. At our street legal drags you have to be legal & the et limit is 11zero. Go faster & you've lost & if youre not teched, youre outta there. My car was set up for racing these meetings but if the traction is good we can run faster. You'll have to excuse the Russian dialog as my girls a Rusky, but she knows how to drive. Kick back n enjoy, i think she did pretty good.

COOL, what will it run without the cap.

10.5@127mph. its a 400/512 with a little 850 carb to try n slow her down.

That was pretty cool! Thanks for sharing!

The big issue we have with the 11zero cut off, is we had an older Skyline come down & it ran a 10.2, he got told to go away & the next week he's back, same car but different rego plate, one off a boat trailer, & he does a 9.4 with just a tee shirt, shorts & flip flop sandals & open face helmet. He got a 5 year ban? & the track officials are now more harder on the racers. And so they should be, safety is safety.

Can you speak Russian or can she speak English.. just wondering

I'm like the dog, I understand it, just don't speak it. She speaks English as well, kinda. She's an Automotive Photo Journalist, she chases the drag & drift scene down under in our summer then goes back to do the same in their summer. We are big in Russia lol.

That guy is living proof the idiots live all over the world and due stupid stuff on a daily basis
I've seen racers die in accidents that shouldn't have kill them with all the safety gear on, I've seen worst accidents at the track that you wonder how the drivers survive them and then you appreciate and wear all the safety gear during every run

She did a great job of keeping it above 11.0. Just picking a point to lift? A couple of 11.0s pretty close.

yeah, her pull out game is better than most guys

It amazes me that a hot rodding has had such a huge affect on the entire modern world.
I know that men have race everything they could long before cars were invented such as horses, dogs, Camel, Elephant and probably many other animals that I don't know about or can think of.
I'm thinking auto racing started in Europe long before Americans where making our own home made American cars here in the U.S., yes or no?

Knowing when to "pull out" is the key!

So is she actually going rounds? if so, where'd you end up?
Or was this a test and tune?

yes we went a few rounds but redlit in the semi's. She is hellbent on getting low reactions & to loose to a total novice is pretty disappointing.

Europeans have been racing since cars were invented, the first being an endurance race in 1895, a similar race being held in the US shortly after.
