Thats awesome looked like the jeep pulled him off the line but wasn`t long the sled pulled away on land before it hit the water then see ya. Cool.
throw a turbo on that sled and no competition.

throw a real motor in the jeep and no competion..spent a lot of years running mud and we had some guys bring their sleds out to the pit..only one made it across and it was a well running tripple..takes much more power to climb on top of mud then water....my rig went 3500 pds with 2100 hp....

I used to run my Ultra and Loo's xc in the pit down here. I would spank all but the floaters like yours. Was alot of fun. I did manage to fold my tunnel almost in half running the tough truck course. I cased a landing trying to clear a tripple! The crowd loved it, but I had a lot of work to do after that.
Yea good times for sure..miss those days..all comes down to HP vrs. weight..and handling.... by far one of the biggest rushes there is....

We had some hot trucks that were pushing the 600hp mark, but nothing here like yours. I can't imagine what it would be like to drop the hammer on that thing! It was a rush with 600hp.....Yours had to be just insane. That had to be a ball screwing off with it out at Jim creek.

Now that was AWSOME!
We had a buddy who had a 900 turbo ninja..it would accelerate as hard as the truck,,,,it was pretty brutal on aceleration.... on a 100 ft. pass counting purging each N2o kit, it would burn 7pds of nitrous from each bottle(14 pds total) jetted for 600 hp from each kit..
And the truck, did it disappear too? That is wicked! The truck I mean, not the X....or ok I'll shut up now.
LOL..I can only wish she would..I parted the truck out when they quit paying anykind of prize money...the motor went to a local drag racer, body went in the trash ....I still have the 20 in. narrowed dana 60 axles, orbitrol steering, and the custom T-case....had about 40 grand in the complete motor..sold it for 5000...complete with both twin holley 1050's, complete Enderlie top hat injection flowed for both race fuel and alcohol,twin NOs pro shot fogger race kits set to 600 hp ea., twin BG 400 gallon pumps for the nitrous, complete Msd 7Al ignition with retard box, 3 rpm activated switches and billet distributor,And all the Autometer procomp guages....
