It's a Simpson Bandit ;-) I know cause I have a black one for my bike!
Awesome ESPN and Autoweek..... soo where the link to the NHRA official reason for shortening the track? They had been talking about doing it for sometime prior to Kalitta's death but decided against it due to the fan's etc balking at it.... then when people started to die because they were going to fast for the…
My dad and I were commenting about that after watching this as well, the Safety guys were hauling ass on this one, the truck was moving before his car even stopped sliding. That's class A good shit for response time!!!

I'll see your drunk monster truck fan and raise you one that is tripping on Acid :-)
