June 11, 200718 yr Now I'm just waiting for a third picture with someone holding a checkered flag saying GO! Wonder who'd win? :lol: well... turbofans do have a bit of lag to them..... but once that puppy was fired up... yeah.... nice pics!
June 11, 200718 yr Yes those are nice pics! If you don't want to race heads up, maybe you could negotiate for a few car lengths, then say you thought they meant jet lengths. There's been a couple races like this on TLC. One was that black jet engined powered car that set the speed record on the salt flats. It went up against a dodge viper. The jet car actually beat the viper off the line for the first 1/2 second maybe, then the viper flew by it. It was pretty funny. Like a minute later (I don't remember how long) you just see the jet car fly by the viper like it's standing still. Another was that semi tractor that guy put like 3 jet engines on that he runs at various shows and events. He raced it against some kind of military jet I think. The jet came over top of him real slow, then went full power and he went full power. I can't remember who won....

It feels like someone punched you in the chest when he gooses the throttle.
June 12, 200718 yr That would be cool to see. I know he said the tractor pulls 10g's when he pulls the parachute and leaves bruises on his chest where the harness is. Not sure what it pulls when he goes full throttle?
