i saw the jet school bus in person...ran 220mph in the 1/8th mile.

 

those things have to be friggin deafening

 

Jet cars are the best! Saw them at "Night of Fire" in Atlanta, 2 of them drag raced side by side... it was great!

 

On like my 8th Birthday, I went to Englishtown for a big race, and they had jet cars! It was awesome because for their run, they had things on the side that sent sparks over the track, it was like a tunnel of sparks! They really are sweet!

 

these ran 3 times if i remember.. 2x during day, once @ night... you could see the tower shaking as they lined up... actually... the 1st time they came they blew all the glass out of the tower (its plexiglass now)

 

I saw that jet truck run. In fact, I believe I saw the run you just posted. It looks like the one that occurred at the Sussex County Airport, in NJ, at the air show held there in August, 2004. The truck actually drag-raced the airplane and the truck won. The plane flew in at a low-level and when it was over the truck, the jet truck started its run from a standing start. By the time the truck reached the end of its run and started to slow down, it had passed the plane. A really incredible and thrilling event to witness.
