Here's an 8 minute mashup of some clips of us getting our Nitro Funny Car ready to travel through the Caribbean, promoting our company, and Antigua.  


If you're not familiar with a Nitro Car, it's something you need to see to believe.   Powered by an 8.2L Hemi V8, producing 4000 - 5000 HP.   On launch, she'll make an ear-splitting 155 dB, accelerating the car from 0-60 in less than 1 second.  1/4 mile times of 5.7 seconds, 1/8 mile times of 3.85 seconds.

48' Hauler for the various race teams.

Here you can see the Leeward Islands Hurricane team, in conjunction with our sister company Sign Pro, renovating our 48' Race Hauler.  It took close to 6 months to complete, and we couldn't be more proud of the way it turned out.

Just a few clips of us warming up the Fire breathing monster, getting ready for our first launch.
