Jet truck destroys raceway 'warming up' at drag show
Jet trucks are famous for their power, but even this driver underestimated their potential at a recent drag show.
Video shows Shockwave, a specially built jet truck that currently holds the Guinness World Record for jet-truck speed, ‘warming up’ before a race in Ohio.
As it revs its three engines, jets of fire can be seen shooting out behind it, sending black smoke billowing down the raceway.
So powerful are the blasts, they actually blow up bitumen from the road.
As the truck edges towards the starting line, it leaves a trail of destruction in its wake before taking off with incredible speed and tearing down the raceway.
This isn't the first time a stunt has gone wrong, for all the world to see.
