Yeesh. Seems super sketch to run on a public road that narrow especially with obstacles around like a house. Where is this done?

Near Cordova, NE.

There were huge hay bails about 100 feet in front of the house. The house belongs to one of the organizers.

Looks like a blast, but damn... I am really surprised in modern times this is allowed on a public road like that.

Well, public access to the road was closed off for miles in every direction. They don't let junk run the event. Lots of rules such as if you expect to exceed 165 you must have a full cage and at least a 4-point harness. All cars are carefully teched to enter and tires and steering and suspension are teched before each and every run. It's not a free for all in any way.

Here is an outside view of my launch from my first run. Skip ahead to about 3:20 to see my car.

Nice vid and sounds like a badass event. Glad to see it's done ole school like that and more cities and towns need to allow this if handled/ executed properly.
