Ya think grandpa's Hoosier Tires mighta helped there do ya? Stu

 

watched the 64 video and can say it really doesnt surprise me, can you say american V8 horsepower. i was stationed in germany for a few years and it was always nice to see american muscle with numbers on the doors and fenders full of stickers sitting in parking lots before and after the races. As for the little ford, i dont recall ford ever made a 2-stroke. just kidding. that guy can drive for sure. there is something really strange that happens in my head when my ears hear those little engines bouncing off the rev limiter for so long. And that park brake lever looks like a shifter in a peterbilt.

 

When you were stationed in Germany did you get to drive the 'Ring? I got to, but in nothing as fast as that Fairlane. It was back in 1971 and I flogged by Beetle around there chasing a 2CV. Fourteen miles on that track in that Beetle took a whole lot longer to cover than in that Fairlane. Stu

 

That is amazing driver skills and was beginning to think it was going to be a tire commercial until he burnt them right off the back. Great video. Sure would be fun to try but don't know who would be willing to lend me thier car,lol. Thanks for posting that.

 

no Stu, never got to drive the "ring". raised alot of hell on the autobahn with a rented vw golf and my buddy had a bmw 318 that was a blast. i could tell some stories about that 318 but i dont know if the statute of limitations has run out yet. and dont laugh about that vw golf, you know they dont have the same limits on them over there as they do in the states. i would have loved to bring that car back if you didnt have to change it to meet US regulation. this is really off the track but the highlight was going about 200mph on the back of my platoon sgt. ninja sport bike. there are no dotted lines at 200 mph.
