Nobody could beleive it. the course is only and 1/8th, so there is no telling what would have happened if they doubled it, but i am betting the HKS Super Oil dragster would have taken over by that point. i think the main reason why he lost to the streeter was prolly because he had TOO MUCH power for that track. it is not a very well prepared track at all, so it is easy to see how a driver who hasnt been there before would have trouble, where-as the local guy with his street driven 32 has been there a zillion times, so he is familiar with the charachteristics of the track. that was a fun day.
yea for example look at the track where Shep is racing... It's got the sticky stuff all the way to the end
