Entering Drag Race - Hungary

I was on her bike lol. I did offer to see if she wanted but she wasn't comfortable with it yet since she's new on riding.

I got my NHRA license at 17 years old in a 13 sec car.
There was a guy at the same track that was 15 years old driving a hyrogen peroxide powered rocket car. He ran one pass in the 1/4 mile and went 4.71 et. This was in 1977. Needless to say he did not get his license because he only made one pass.
He had a 17in wheel on one side of the front and a 16in on the other.
He had enough fuel to run for 4 seconds before the rocket turned off.
He passed out from the G-force and the car went right after the finish line because of the wheels.

The fellow ran top fuel for a while- this pass is unbelievable but it shows what hydogen peroxide can do.

I just found this photo taken at the track. Can you spot the American on the V-Max? :biglaugh:

It was SO HOT that day. We were all huddled under the canopy until we needed to stage. Notice everyone else was in full leathers, but I was in armored textile.
