Future Darwin candidate, but with style
« on: August 05, 2010, 03:06:37 PM »
I give you the 350mph school bus. :o
I particularly like his belief that this will help keep kids off drugs. I imagine the lecture goes like this. "See, this is the kind of crazy ass sh!t I can come up with while sober. Now, imagine what I would do if I were stoned?" ;D

Must have went to Acme for the Phantom Motor,... ::) Love it...! ;D

Knew a kid back in the day, wanted to put a jet engine in a 1975 Cadillac Hearse. Call it "Deadly Fast" or something,..... I wonder if that's the same guy.... :o
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

Great little show.  He appears careful to control the throttle and you'll notice that when he's serious about speed there isn't much visible exhaust.   All that smoke and flame is the foreplay to the finale....the fast run. 

Not sure how often he attempts the 300+mph, but I'd guess he regularly hit 200 at most shows.   The rear wheels seem much further back than on a normal chassis, too.
