    I wonder if the insurance company saw the video?
    Once again I need to change my underwear.

    I lucked out in all my years of racing I never broke anything due to stupidity. :)

    Well I did bend some pushrods during a burnout once but that was pretty common for the '98-'02 LS1 cars and not dramatic in the least. lol

    Aye I did. lol

    That is Jim's truck. He used to post on PerformanceTrucks.net with the rest of us while we worked on the ridiculous but fun hobby of making pickups fast. Jim's truck was a total beast!!!

    If you're bored Jimmie you can watch the cheesy video I put together right before I sold the rear mount turbo (550rwhp), installed a Radix supercharger (but didn't like it) and then had the front mount duels installed (800rwhp). Unfortunately no footage has been taken since the upgrade and my buddy now owns the truck. Maybe we'll get some this summer.

    Very nice, video was not all that bad. I will admit that I did cringe a bit on the night race and the 4WD launch. I'm shocked it didnt break..... :eek:
