12 second minivan WOW

Check out this video of a mini-van smoking a Camaro at the track.

I think the funniest thing of all would be that the guy driving the Camaro probably thought "Watch me smoke this minivan"

2 weekends ago I was at the track, lind up against a 4 door dodge dakota, hought, NO PROBLEM. then he proceeded to run an 11.8 to my 13.056
(it looked completely stock) all the other Miloc members laughed, I guess I was the only one who didnt know what that truck coud do.

That guy would have whooped my rear as well...There is another funny race with an old Dodge K car that whooped up on someone-it ran a crazy fast time. I guess some people like making vehicles fast that otherwise wouldnt be. Like our trucks

thats funny... there is a guy I have seen a few times at my local track...he has a caprice classic station wagon ('84 or so)... he doesnt run fast times or anything, its just funny to see him try, then pit his car and "tweak" the engine,, and when I say "tweak", I mean pund on it with a hammer

I laughed so hard the first time I saw it, but I have seen stranger things go down the strip i guess... some people..I tell you what

That reminds me of this little Toyota or Nissan extended cab truck. It was like their first ever pickup (looks like you could pick it up). Stock tires, ride height, everything. And a total late 30's geek driving it with an old school, open faced helmet. Damn thing ran a 7 flat 1/8 mile. Holy chit. Glad I didn't run next to it
