Even more impressive when you look at the rules of the event.

Basic outline..

Drag Week puts competitors' vehicles to the test at five dragstrips on five consecutive days in five different states, and the lowest average e.t. wins. The kicker is that all vehicles must drive from track to track with no trailers or support vehicles allowed, so over-the-road dependability will be just as important as brute acceleration. And unlike Pump Gas Drags and heads-up drag racing classes, there are very few rules and you can do whatever you want to the car at any time, so long as it doesn't involve a trailer or a support vehicle. Everything you need, including tools, parts, and spares, must be carried from track to track in the vehicle or in a trailer pulled by the vehicle.
Full rules...

Another vid from last year, cruising the Vegas Strip..........both of them.

Notice at 1:25 how fast he reels in the car in the other lane. Gotta love big turbos.
