I went up to the dragway yesterday with my cousin. Let me tell you if you have a dragway nearby, and they have jet cars go check em out. Nothing like going from Zero to almost 300 MPH in the quarter mile. The fastest jet car run last night was 280 mph.

jet cars eh? i read in a C&D a while back about this guy that takes surrplus Helo jetsa dn puts them in Cycles and Pickups. They don't make thrust that pushes the thing they use the rotation of the engine.

Very cool.

My (future) father in law was a world champion drag bike racer. He's now running a bike shop and showing me how to build bikes (while im not in college studying for my business degree).

The trophies the man has are fucking awesome. Like 12 feet tall.

At an air show there was a jet powered truck.

It could keep up with the jet overhead and had a parachute. :doh:
