amberjack1234 Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 I don't see any animal cruelty here. It looks like they are more like pets. They have been taken down so many times they know what to do. I would love to see them tackle an old angry Brahma bull or one from the bullfighting rings in Spain or Mexico.Now, I can see that I would not want to get into a fight with one of these guys even in my younger days unless I had a .45. They are very athletic and strong looking.Good video Randy I enjoyed it. 1 Link to comment

One of them almost got it recently this year but like this girl escaped death. It takes a special person to keep an 11,000 HP rig going in a straight line for a 1/4 of a mile at 325 MPH. In this race against dad Brittany's car seems to die at the end as the fire goes out. I can't see who was ahead at that moment but she may have been ahead of ole dad. Here is her crackup this year. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/brittany-force-nhra-crash/ Edited February 24, 2021 by Randy W (see edit history) Link to comment
