I have not ever seen his car in action, other than on vids, but to get a car down the 1/4 in that time is incredible. Was he on road-tyres? I'm guessing not?

no way, unless you got unlimited amounts.

there are countless cars with miles more money spent than andy has that dont get anywhere near as impressive performances.

its how well the monyes spent, thats a massive factor, really huge factor.

Thats impressive, but was expected


In that 2nd clip above, it looks like the run way goes down hill at the half way point.

AndyF? He did a 158 on 1 run at least, I think his slowest was a 132 on a 9.8, but on average in the 150s.
