Default Jet Sprinting

Just wonder how many of you guys have seen jet sprinting before, its really popular in Australia.

Pretty sure they are powered by mechanically injected small blocks (406-434 cubic inch).

They used to show those on speedvision a few years back. I think they run several different classes. I know of a unlimited big block class and I am sure the small blocks. That one in the video sounds like a big block. Just too deep of a sound to be a small block, I could be wrong though.
