Is it consider a sleeper with those tires? Kind of a dead giveaway.
Was cheering for both sides! Built a few sleepers in the day. Wagon just needs a monster muffler stuffed in there and a Baby on Board rear window sign!
Great vid Andrew! Curious if you knew does the Plaid get unhappy with shorter tires all around or just if the rears are shorter than the fronts?
andrew, do you have a max performance cybertruck on order?
I just CAN'T get in to Eigth Mile racing
Cold motors. Always better.
Good to see a dude in a "We love fossil fuels" shirt being totally chill at the track, everyone having a good time and no "gas for gas" drama
Very nice 2nd run mate, bigger MPH due to the charge up but must have been doing a bit of spinning at the bottom end. Those tyres must be right on the ragged edge !
Great video as always Andrew!!
Cool wagon except for the gm drive train,
Never a fan of Chevy in a Ford or vise verse .
Again great video!!!
Love your channel!!
Thanks again Andrew! Watching your video while camping in the South Australian outback!
Sell all your Gas powered junk while you still can, build or buy your own electric racer.
always a good weekend when Andrew uploads
Another great video! I'm curious to why he would use that station wagon as his drag car. Does he think it looks cool? Sentimental value lol? Perhaps I can be educated here. It doesn't even look light with all that steal. Maybe a sleeper, but it doesn't look like a car he would drive on the road. Engine bay space could be another reason along with finance as always. I don't know. I'm just taking stabs at it.
