European Superpull Ahoy 2011
You can tell by the title of this video that it’s going to be awesome. It’s the result of a very strange odyssey of clicking on YouTube related videos. I don’t have too many details besides the fact that this is the 4.5 ton Modified Class for the European Superpull Ahoy. I hope to one day run an event cool enough where I can add the word “ahoy” to the end of its name. It doesn’t get much better than this for gratuitous displays of power.

Kazama Rodeo Drift
Yasuyuki Kazama is a Japanese driver that used to compete in the D1 Drift Championship. In his prime, he was widely regarded as the best drifter in the world. While he was competing, he earned the nickname of “Waku Waku Kun” which means “Rodeo Clown” in Japanese. He got the nickname by driving his car while half hanging out of the window. He even got good enough to drift the car like this. Don’t try this at home, kids.

Twin Turbo Dodge Daytona Land Speed Racer
This 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona is owned by Lee Sicilio and it will be running in Bonneville this August. It’s running a twin turbo 496 cubic inch Hemi built by Ray Barton and tuned by Scott Clark. The dyno run gets cut short, but you can tell this car is going to be a beast. They’re shooting to break 300 mph and Bangshift estimates the final power numbers to be in the 2000-2500 horsepower range.
