How the heck does a stock T-56 handle that power without breaking on the first run!

Insane acceleration. 60ft time were 1.422 and 1.363.

badass, but did anybody notice his reaction time was almost 2 full seconds? He could have cut that high 8 seconds into a 7 at least. Badass nonetheless

Reaction time is not added into 1/4 time. Reaction is just the time from when the green ligth comes on till you the starting beam. Has no effect on actually time it takes to run the 1/4.

It doesn't work like that.... the ET clock doesn't start until you break the staging light beams. The reaction timer starts from when the green bulb is lit, that then stops when you cross the staging light beams. At that point, the et timer starts which is stopped when you cross the 1320ft mark.

In a drag race, the reaction time matters because it's not who has the lowest et wins, but rather who crosses the line first. Essentially add the reaction time with the et and the lowest wins.

As to the comments about the lack of safety equipment, the guy is reckless, but he's no worse than the guys on sport bikes wearing no helmet, shorts and a t-shirt.

That's pure horsepower moving that car down the track. That chassis/suspension is all wrong on that thing.

Bravo to the engine builder and tuner..

I'd love to see it if it gets dialed in.
