Just don't get the point of that. Such a waste in several ways.

^^^ judging by the driving, I honestly think repair costs mean nothing to this guy. Great video though.

That guys an a$$ clown. No skill there at all just pin it and hope it makes it up.

You would think that they would wear a helmet or some sort of face protection cause a rock hitting your face at those RPM's is gonna leave a mark.

That's what I was thinking. Throw as much money as it takes at something and no skill required.
Pick the right line and I could have made it up that with my poor little flat 4.

Tough room in here. So seriously, if you had that monster of a motor in that chassis you all would crawl with it? I don't think so. I'm pretty sure once that motor barked to life any normal person in the drivers set would just have to nail it.

He is probably into that thing for close to 100k. I doubt he is worried about repair cost.
