Saw Big Red at Texas Mile! Love the stance. Didn't know how well it did though, anyone have any idea? Looks like a hardcore race car had to be towed to the line to run.

Saw video of it, didn't sound like it was running quite right.

It wasn't running right at the optima challenge either. Still sounds way off. Hard to believe.

I heard that it still made it north of 200... couldn't be that far off. In the video it sounded more like a transmission issue than an engine problem - but that's just me. Damn cool either way!

Sounds like a traction issue to me...

I think they've changed engines at some point in the last few months ??
I'm not sure , but I remember on their website , they had a comment about upgrading to a 1000hp engine.
Instead of the 800hp / Donovan 540cui they had been using for years.
Hmmmm........
I don't know if they've changed engines , Or not , or just upgraded the older one.

After listening again....very well could be clutch slippage or traction. It does sound good.
