Joe aider chassis for this 2008 season. >> man, he is flying! talk about some wheel speed! man, oh, man! well past the 300 foot mark, as well. man, oh, man. i didn't think he was gonna stop at all. >> stays on that right sideline. look at all that torque! it's just amazing! you see him turning those wheels, getting on the brakes a little bit as he's dragging it on out there. man, those four heavies just on fire! >> we'll go on board here. he starts off nice and straight. [ speaking indistinctly ] he doesn't touch the brake. unfortunately for him... here comes the red flag from john mears -- ti...

278.71 -- an all right distance there, but not what he was looking for here tonight. he will take the lead, though. >> the flutter of the fender wells on takeoff, there, the extra fuel being burnt, hid in the rev limited on the center motor. turning too many rpm's there, shutting it off for a second, and then bringing it back to life as it powers its way down the track. >> it was a spectacular-looking run, the front end up there very nicely. it looks like it was transferring weight. for whatever reason, though, just didn't get quite as much as he would've hoped for here tonight. let's go to ro...

Not getting all the way into the throttle until you get a little further down the track, but the predator pours it on early, gets it going, has to hit the brakes and bring it back to center. lots of steering and lots of wobbling going on there for the predator. >> that is good for second place as it stands right now, but shawn swearingen is back with the joker. we saw him at the top of the show. he came out, went 355 feet, but since then, they changed the sled. of course, when they change the sled, everybody has to pull again, and for him, he was allowed to drop back in the field wherever he w...

He will take the lead, though, at 296.96. >> a little extra fuel burning off earlier, but it cleans up. he drags it down the track to that left-hand side, brings it back with the breaker, tries to, and just doesn't have enough break over there. got too much horsepower pouring into the ground to bring it back. >> well, here comes one of the biggest characters in the business. of course, that's the son of brent nation, but l.d. nation is behind the wheel, and if you want to have a good time, just spend about five minutes with that guy. >> boy, he is a hoot, and, you know, this is another guy who...

Take-it-out, put-another-one-in type of fix. as we watch bill lieschner back up his three-turbine tracker, this one called the dirt challenger, and he actually has two of these things at the competition here tonight. >> we've got the dirt challenger -- over 8,500 horsepower on these three t64's, and then he's got the dirtslinger, which we know he's been out on the lucas oil pro pulling league circuit with forever. two-time champion with that vehicle running four ares-howard motors three. >> so two drastically different combinations. no doubt, i'm sure, as a young man, he watched what was all o...
