Thought you might be interested. This is one of a few videos on You Tube.

47 seconds for the quarter mile. Fast donkey.

That fool should have closed the roof vent.
That probably cost him a lest a second.
(Actually, as you can see in the rear quarter view, it does have duals on the front too, and they are both on their own bearings and brakes.

Maybe JimK can make him a special "final drive" rear end to pep that run up! That and Jim's twin turbo caddy and it could be just plain exciting.
