Video of Sharky at the Track...

So here's that video as promised from the other day. This is what happens when you have 570rwhp, crappy track prep and the wrong conditions... The mph was still good tho

Awesome Sharky! Jees, could you have eased off the line slower on the last run or what? Secondly, you're no hero, get the hell off the throttle next time you start doing the Macarena down the strip. I don't want you or your fine car getting custom body work courtesy of the Armco.

Loved it!

Hehe thanks man:P It was one of those CRAZY traction days when anything above 200hp would simply spin all over the place. I tried leaving off of idle and "easing" into the throttle and STILL spun... I love that "Macarena down the strip":P It was quite an eye opener. My car prior to the shoot out always went dead on straight with no spin, then of course Stephen/Kevin/ImagineAuto gave it wings... Pep Boys body work is the best along with the DIY popsident!
