If you haven't seen these guys before, take a look, it's definately in the same range of interest. They've got a little bit of everything - part crawler, part mud racer, part swamp buggy, and even a little bit of the showboating and definately the airtime of monsters. What strikes me is how simple these machines are-I've read that they produce up to 1000 hp with nitrous and they are only 2000-2500 lb. machines, which is a power to weight ratio of "suicidal" I believe.

Special Events oughta see if they can get these guys over for a jambo sometime, or if a class for vehicles like these can be developed here in the US. I think it would be a perfect compliment to the monsters, I just don't know how we'd find places with sheer vertical cliffs like that.

If they have a horsepower to weight ratio of suicidal, then what is a 410 sprint car here in central PA with 800 horsepower and only weighing 1200 lbs.? For you mathmatecally cahllenged its a 1:1.5 ratio.
