CRAZY impressive driving!

Just came across this video. I don't know if the 2 guys standing are stupid or just confident but it's some of the most impressive driving I've ever seen.

Looks like the driver has a little of the Captain in him.

I think I would take that over a bull challenge. Where they sit there at a table and pray the bull doesn't go after them first.

They would have to have a Porta Potty very close for me to do that.

Yeah, I was impressed. That little car has some pretty wicked horsepower too. But what I REALLY want to know is how many unsucessful practice attempts did it take to get it right and where are all those volunteers?

That was some sort of midget modified race car. They run those at a track in Portland Maine. Custom chassis and body. Motorcycle engine and tranny.

its called a legends car. they use a big bike engine, usually 1200cc's, and a jap car rearend with a spool diff. you can build one ready to race for around $10,000, and it will fit in the bed of a pickup. 6 ft long, 3 ft wide, 3 ft high. weight is around 700-900 lbs,without driver, depending on motor size.
