I can recall seeing a video on a site once where a shorty yellow school bus had been modified and was smoking EVERYTHING at the track....does that mean I should go out and get one.........

That piece of s*&^ has no rear end on it. Everytime it raced something, it got a great start.

Yeah they pretty much do with all that smoke. I used to have one, not that fast but 12 seconds @ 113 was pretty fast back in 2001.There are a couple of them running in the 9's now

BUT, if you are the owner/driver of that "thing" you would be talking about your "wins" to anyone who would listen. It is all a matter of perpective.

I would like to know the investment, too. I bet the owner has under $10K in that truck. $1,500 on base truck/bodywork and the rest in motor/tranny.
