So how many people got the free CD from FLP? <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

Poor Joe, he must have crapped his pants when that happened.

Notice how the nose of the car drops BEFORE the backfire, it's clearly some sort of short.

And to think, I brought my hearing protection just in case John dyno'd again. <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

Unfortunately, this time he did all his hunting outside on the street. <img src="images/icons/tongue.gif" border="0">

I can't tell from the video what happened. There is a wind down on the dyno, and then bang the cameras pointing at the ceiling. What was this, the backfire from hell?

Whatever the case, that is scary. Gotta be careful around high-powered cars on dynos.
