In that quarterfinal match, Kool’s flopper rattled the tires and jumped out of the groove, forcing him to lift … the race seemingly over at that point. As Burkart is powering away to a sure victory, the supercharger suddenly bangs, deploying the parachutes and leaving the Follow A Dream machine — and Burkart — powerless. Hool, realizing his opponent is in trouble, steps back on the loud pedal and runs him down with little more than fifty feet to spare.While side-by-side racing is great, it’s hard to argue that anything can top a pendulum-swinging drag race like this one where those standing on the starting line and watching in the stands are run through a ringer of emotions in a matter of seconds.
