Holy crap! That is insane. I almost crapped my pants when he revved it up that high for the takeoff, I didn't expect him to actually make traction but he sure did!

Damn that ******* fast. He did rev it up pretty high on the take off. I wonder what he's running to get the traction to actually take off at that rpm.

I stopped breathing when I saw him heading towards the wall though...too close for comfort.

yes that is the right site
If you check the site map and , click on the Adelaide 2005 news you get a little hint....

"EAT20B went out and ran consistently all day with his best being a 7.91@166mph, his personal best, he went on to run in the finals. The M&M racers' R100 and RX7 encountered gearbox problems ending their chances for a shot at the top eight final.
