Nitemare II Mustang Drag Racing on Ice!
Ask some drag racers about their car’s ability to hook up, and they may reply with “this thing will hook on gravel.” However, what you’re about to see Mustang dragster Nitemare II pull off makes rocky road travel look quite easy in comparison.
That’s right, we’re talking about drag racing on ice. You won’t find a burnout box here. Actually, a burnout probably won’t do you much good at all. And one has to wonder how the cold temps will affect an engine’s ability to run at peak performance.
Ice racing is not really new by any means. Those in the north are forced to cower in fear of the weatherman, or take their racing off the pavement and onto a frozen lake. Drag strips, auto-x courses, and even oval racing is done these days on frozen lakes. While that may indicate how many of our brain cells are actually connected to one another, racing is still racing, and we wont let a little ice slow us down! With the use of studded tires and some easy hands on the steering wheel, Nitemare II’s pass on this type of drag strip takes a much higher level of focus, and demands respect.
