I'm sure they do this else where, but two weeks ago our local track had one. We didn't go but I just looked at the pics. I have to say some of these guys have a few bolts loose. In the past guys have flipped the car on the roof. I don't even know what the pay out is, but I don't know if it would be worth it.

Right, it's not the fall it's the landing I would be afraid of. Rod broke his wheeli bars once so we took them off and ran, bad thing to do. That thing went sky high and came down hard, bent a lot of things. Last year the winner flipped it on it's side. We're not replacing a few shocks anymore and body work is not cheep. ou:
My cousin showed me that link a couple days ago, he was there, lucky bastard he's only 12 but he sure knows his stuff about chivvies (hey its better than hondas!) he had a hand in building this low 11 sec street monster
scariest ride ive ever been in. it surprisingly cannot keep those wide tires planted on the street.. but its amazing what a 4500rpm transbrake launch will do to the back of your neck! We were at 100 in the blink of an eye! fastest car ive ever been in!
What about the suburban in Car Craft? Ran a 12.17 on the 1/4 mile. And weighs 6,100lbs! It had a 434cid small-block motor with nitrous.
