The Gremlin wrecks 'em all....

I saw one like that on Speedvision a few years ago. Some guy in an AMC Spirit busted their asses.

Found it! This is a crappy video, but he almost dumped it like 5 times but didn't.....

He is in that vid but llets off, had he kept in it im sure he would have had the same results as this year (2006). The little gremlin is nasty for sure too. His goal is to flip it over backwars llol as u can see in that vid he is at about 12 oclock on his first try. It is held every year at Byron dragway, usually in the fall.

The launches are the best part of any drag race. Grandma can do a smokin' burnout in her Cadilac AND drive it in a straight line ... BUT .. she can't do a wheelie!

I go to Byron every year for this contest. It is way cool in person. If you can make it, it is a must see. Don't forget your camera or video recorder. Vince
