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.

Triple Turbo Diesel Dragster

Check out this amazing video of a diesel powered dragster laying down a 7.62 quarter mile. It’s powered by an International DT466 inline 6 engine that is similar to the one that was probably under the hood of the school buses you rode in as a kid. It’s similar except for the three gigantic turbochargers that are on this one. The title has a typo, the car makes 300 hp, not 3000. It’s still a pretty impressive sight. I always wanted to do a diesel project at some point. It seemed to be a legitimate reason to buy a turbocharger that was significantly bigger than my own head.
