Here it is... Not bad for a car that will be purposely beaten to the point of destruction! Watch it on SPEED in June!
I can't disclose info on the engine as our opposition is watching! |

Drag....
Pass after pass until one of the two cars experiences a catastrophic failure that takes it out of the competition... Listen to this MP3 for more info http://www.launchhour.tv/blowItUp.html |

Unfortunately it's all about luck in this one...
There are several unknowns that we just won't know till we get to the track, mainly what the opponent has built to counter our attack! |

Yes.. It's an aircooled Type 1 Drag car...
The cage is forever part of the car, everything is Tig welded in and it's there for good.... |

The car is a huge factor for the win but the owner MUST be a great hustler so he can get the contender to fall in his trap, just like a pool shark. I hope the car runs like crap, "on purpose", for the first three races, win one of them, and kills the contender for the last two. I hope to see Jake tweek the beast to win on the last two races and mark his territory for us on that show! Maybe next time, we will see a 914 crush the competition.

JPB, This IS NOT PINKS!
This BLOW IT UP!! Listen to that MP3 for details.. It does NOT MATTER who is the fastest, what matters is who breaks first. I could have a used a 914 for this show, but I chose the car that weighs 1/2 as much :-) |
