This is a recipe for EXCITEMENT, first you start with an 1800 horsepower blown alcohol engine, then put it in a truck chassis that is made to take
some horrendous amount of abuse, attach four 66 inch tall tires that are
4 foot wide, and then add a colorfully painted truck body. After all is
tightened and secure then add one experienced driver that leaves any
kind of fear at home, then you turn it loose, all the horsepower loose as the driver lines up and heads full throttle and smashes into the line of cars!
