Vegas Hustler Wheel Stand

Mark Bishop hooks his Super Pro ET Dragster up a treat as he leaves the line during Sunday evening at the 2009 Easter Thunderball at Santa Pod Raceway UK. Mark normally has about 2 inches of wheels up when he runs so this was a massive shock and caught him off guard. With a 60 ft time of approximately one second there isn't much time to react. Chassis, steering and wheels were damaged in the incident and Mark vows to be out again as soon as funds allow. Ian Blackett
