Our friends down under held that record for a long time!!!

I’m waiting for him to beat that Lexus, bcuz ‘Merica

The EKanoo Lexus that flipped over. I was following them when they flipped and set the record because Shane T was their tuner.

I’m not the biggest fan of pro mod but do think it’s cool to watch. Stuff with coolant interests me more but these numbers are wild.

Turbos in pro mod are entertaining, watching Barnett carry the wheels 600+ft is badass

I really like the LDR Limited Drag Radial class.

Pro 275 is bad ass as well.

Those classes have more realistic bodies that I can relate to. I take it a step further and really love the cars with coolant. Steve Morris is the man and I’ve been following him for years. When he released the SMX I text it to a friend immediately and said the car with that motor would win the next drag week and it did.

I can’t afford any of them so I’m building the baddest Busa I can instead. Street ridden with coolant and just an event bike that I can take anywhere and beat the poop out of it which is how I like to have fun.

Sure the compromises I’ll make means it won’t be a world record holder in anything but I don’t care about that.
