I watched all of speed week each year and have watched all i can find since starting this goal. They had the advantage of much more horsepower and a free car that had been a landspeed car before. Also helps they build race cars for a living. I find it quite frustrating honestly so many big shops are borrowing proven cars to bump records and getting their hats. Getting nearly impossible for an average person to build something and compete with that.
How can some who builds race cars, borrow a car, bump record and feel they earned the title and hat? Ok. Off my soap box, carry on
