Just got back from Englishtown, NJ and Raceway Park‘s “Summer Motorsports Spectacular”. Lots of loud and wicked-fast jet cars, monster trucks and the 1000 hp Cool Bus wheel stander pictured above.
I put together a compilation video with Grave Digger, Maximum Destruction, Bull Dozer, Cool Bus and the Jet Semi. Tom Meents, the driver of Max Destruction, is nuts. He went faster, jumped farther, and spun crazier than anyone else out there.
The highlight of the night, though, was Jill Canuso’s jet car Queen of Diamonds. She ran the fastest 1/4 mile I’ve ever seen in person: 5.4 seconds at 301 mph. I told my daughters, “Hey, that was a lady driving that car!” and they did a double take.
