It is interesting because most of us don't have the power to cause that chain of events.

Once I'm out of first gear my squirrelyness is over, his continues into 4th, this video clearly illustrates how difficult that car is to keep under control.

I don't think anyone wants to see Eddie crash but seeing him have this type of off then come back for more falls under entertainment for me.

Good luck in Texas guys.

The sole purpose is to show the amount of power that the car makes just in case theres ANY more questions the boss was OK with it

Me posting that video was not to see Eddie wreck. I was curious to know what happened and that particular video i posted was looking for airplanes or birds?? From what i've seen on the various runs Eddie makes...it takes BALLZ of STEEL to pilot that car and running off into the grass is going to happen sooner or later when your running flat out ...Amazing skills!

[myworld]

I totally agree. Videos liked.

new OutKast songs

[jrottn]

Juan 193 is cookin as well
Congrats to both you guys
Also as far as the funfgruppen guys sponsoring the texas deal sounds like a win/win to me
Anyone considering the event in Loring ME?
(Loring timing assoc. I think)

[juan ruiz]

Thanks, with so many things cooking and everything happening so fast I think after the Mile we are going back to the 1/4 mile track to see if we can get him his 8 sec pass after that only God knows

[RarlyL8]

Wow, late to the game and just saw that video. Really brings home how dangerous this power can be. Glad the wheels stayed on the ground when he hit the sandy area.

Juan you have e-mail.

'cool and interesting' is an understatement, lol

Definitely apples and oranges. The other situations listed are much more taxing on a car than <20 seconds of straight line acceleration. That being said, I'm definitely a Bello fan all the way back to his IDRC days with his first 964!

I believe he's using an older Haltech unit.


That car is fast, plain and simple!

That is one of his MSD 7 series boxes.
