I've seen the truck many times down here at Moroso. It is very entertaining to watch.

He will be at the Oceana Airshow (Va. Beach) on Sept 19-21 2008. I see this truck every year at Oceana and it is always fun to watch.

i got to see that a few months back. when the exhaust smoke came out it was the most rediculous thing i've ever seen. it must have completely covered the area and highway in the distance behind the track. it was as though you were watching a demon from hell perform. and hearing the turbines spooling up was pretty awesome. it is like a freakin' jet plane up close or something. i believe it has 3 jet turbines?

i'm not sure if it was that truck but i saw one last year at my dragstrip. He almost blew the windows out of the tower. and he started a couple of signs on fire that were hanging on the wall in the staging lanes. pretty cool for sure.

the truck was here in July (if that's shockwave), some 'fill in' driver was driving it, he drove off the end of our track, launched the truck 200 yards into a muddy field, trashed the truck, hopefully they get it back in running condition.

if i'm not badly mistaken that is part of a father and son combo who have their own trucks. i believe they have competed against each other to see who had the fastest truck. it was on discovery or something a while back.
