Big Red @ Texas Mile
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.

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!

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.Last edited by JEFFTATE; 04-01-2009 at 04:41 AM.

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