Never get sick of seeing that, years ago you would of blew it up after 1 or 2 goes at it but with todays technology it's much easier but the crankshafts would of suffered big time in that....

Yeah, they almost make the "daily driver" category with that much starting and stopping ;)

Whats amazing (apart from keeping them off the walls and each other) is the both still ran 9 second passes. That means with all the pedaling, sliding, spinning and bouncing down the track, they still would have beaten some of the fastest cars on AFF by 2 seconds or more!!! Stunning.
