The guy obviously can afford it and does this because he enjoys it.... Who are you to say what he should and shouldn't do with HIS money. That car has broken a lot of new ground in Australia in many ways, after going over it in detail at the nats it's absolutely amazing the way the car is setup. It is a great bit of engineering IMHO.

thats all they get 2k

Some people might say what is the point in owning a 450cc four stroke dirt bike when a 250cc four stroke is powerful enough for anyone. I can't believe all the negative comments on all the forums about these amazing horsepower figures these guys ran on the weekend! Why do you need that much power?, . .but it was on Methanol! . .that's not a street car. . .yeah but what does it run down the quarter? Blah blah blah. FFS!! If it wasn't for people like this pushing the boundaries it would be a boring world with bloody boring car shows! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah u think they would get more.. poor effort by organisers in my opinion

amazing power to me is the nitro boats 7000hp 1/4 in like 4 seconds

dont see the point of all that power???

why dont you?

the horse power heros will get to the point where we have funny car motor jamed into a shell and spinging up god knows

well u cant exactly drive those cars anywhere on the street...so all it can be used for is to chuck on a dyno...i dunno just seems like a lot of money to just throw it on a dyno for 3 turns and then either blow something or make a mad amount of power which is pretty much unuseable!

2 grand?i guess if they got anymore it would cut into chic's spending money!

u have to admit those boats are right off ay

yeah there mad. those times are not from dead still start though

well BLO-402 does hit the track and TRYHRD just got back from racing on the salt lakes so they do get used Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Is TRYHRD manual? ....cause i noticed its got a clutch fluid reservoir in the bay. I thought it was auto ?

The reason the WB didnt win was because it only made 1 run in the finals before it blew the back of the auto and tailshaft apart at 1940rwhp or whatever. You need to run twice for it to count. So yeah even though he had the most HP he is not the HP hero.

what fuel was tryhrd running for its 1895 run ?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzFYP...eature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzFYPvGegH4&feature=related) ^ still my favorite
