Any opinions ?

[RECHRGD]

I'm old, so I would find better ways to throw my money away.....

[ChgrSteve67]

I would rather watch Nascar, tractor pulls or drifting.

But hey if people like it and are willing to watch who am I to criticise how they spend thier time or money.

[440]

I totally agree it's a waste of money, but I guess if you have lots of it and tearing your car up doesn't bother you then why not. I could never do that to mine.

I'd hate to think what those cost to build, let alone repair every time....

I do like the way "NUTTR" sounds however....

[Arigmaster]

I would bet there are a few tire company executives sitting back on the beach drinking their pina coladas thinking... I like this sport!

I've seen that before...I don't quite get it...but then again, I don't understand the whole "do-a-burnout-until-your-tires-explode" thing either. There's nothing like a nice, good old fashioned moving power burnout then slam second and disappear into the horizon variety for me...

Those Aussies do have some awesome sounding engines in those beasts though!

They even try it with door slammer drag cars......

Their power skids are quite impressive though and isn't flat out abuse in my opinion, unlike in those videos I posted.

Yep, this is one of our buddy's Valiants. He just loves to thrash the crap outta this car.


Can probably find some good footage if yer interested. 

[tan top]

awesome spectacle  , the sound of V8 power & the smell of burning  rubber  

think these guys are nutts  !!   put on a good show    but nutts   ,  doubt i could even begin  to do that ,
yeah grenade a motors , trans  , axles  at the strip , or  even on the street ! (long story   )

but no set out to do !!  

would be thinking all the time what i'm doing to the motor trans , drive shaft / ujoints &  axle  
&  what i'm going  to have to do to fix this when it brakes

perhaps i'm getting old too !!  & losing  my sence of fun  


still awesome spectacle to watch & them guys build some nice cars all be it a little far out ! sill each to their own

Thats the stupidest thing I've ever seen in the car hobby,but I geuss if you're gonna destroy cars,do it to those,they are UGLY!!!!! And what is it with those guys down there and just about every car having a blower???Watched Mad Max to many times have we?

[Cooter]

More money than brains I guess...And to think they pay over $6.00/gal for fuel..I'd hate to think what that blown car runs on...

[aussiemuscle]

at least they spend money on them and love their cars. no like some smucks that run them into the ground.

The Enforcer's Car Protection Agency to the rescue?

Nah not everyone has a blower.
The boring ones just don't get shown.

[440]

There's some pretty mean cars that don't run blowers and sound just as good.

Also as a note - Not all of the cars get run into the ground like the few I picked. These ones are just a few of the "over the tops"

aussiemuscle has a good point, even though they trash em they still always fix them up and are good to go the next time...

Agreed with Tan Top that it is a power spectacle......
