    Great video! The Black 4 door 1964 rambler that it shows a couple of times pulling the wheels and running an 8.17 @ 172 belongs to Brian Anderson he lives around here and he DOES drive it on the street!

    It was one of Hot Rod magazines 10 fastest street cars in the country (came in 6th place) last year.

    im not a mac expert, but i think you need to install a mac wave player. just like windows needs a special player to watch jpegs.

    watching the video, it seems the guys with the really big impressive looking wheelstands are losing some time down the quarter even when they keep it controlled.

    Mac uses Quick Time. There is a Windows Media Player version for Mac but every review I've read on it says its junk and seldom works.
