She was cool, just got really nervous when her car was on the rollers, the guy she was there with kept cranking the boost controller up after each pull.

That 711 whp Evo DID WORK on a lot of people before the dyno day.

This video sums up the weekend...

But they took the time to line all the worm clamps up!

That car actually broke the first night out, the seals on the water pump blew out.

Last year I'm told Nero was checking out SW's car and taking pictures.

This year...

IDK, there's only so many ways to fit a turbo system into a car like that, those guys need to grow the eff up and get over themselves. These kits are cool as shit.

That jet engine on the bike is such a gimmick. It's an RC jet turbine, costs about $5000 for the biggest you can get and only produces 45 pounds of thrust. Great for a model airplane, pretty silly for a 400 pound motorcycle.

He has it on there as a gimmick... but that doesn't make it any less awesome looking when it's on at night. At full throttle it would push him on his bike just fast enough to stay stable.

Put it on a bicycle then.

There was one of the "Nera" cars there as well, but they didn't take it out to play as no one seemed worthy... Supposedly it was around 1800whp on racegas.
