If you gassed it hard enough sitting still the motor torqueing over should be enough to flip it on it' s side with a couple of good stabs.

hmm. it was on ebay a year or so back and the owner claimed that he had never taken down the drag strip. he said the wheel base was too short.

Agreed. There was a video around the net a few years ago of a guy with a
13b Twin turbo on the back of a racing kart. All you could see was smoke. I was gonna do the same with a Hayabusa motor, but my wife begged me not to since we have 2 kids to raise, and my life insurance really wouldn't support her for very long in the life she's become accustomed to. Besides, I don't think my insurance covers acts of sheer stupidity.

I wouldn't be surprised... Still, I'd love to see it make a full pass!

Yeah, tone it down a bit with an LS3 and it would be driveable .
