On an air strip at a Colorado airport the world's fastest street cars duke it out in an attempt to break the world record of 219 miles an hour over a half mile. Lucas English is the current record holder in his beefed up Nissan GTR, but his competition is in his rear view mirror and gaining ground. They call the event the Air Strip Attack and it features traditional standing start drag racing, along with the extremely challenging rolling start events.
Figure 8 racing is like nothing you've ever seen before as cars race on two ovals that actually intersect. You can only imagine the chaos as cars essentially fly through an intersection at 80 miles an hour with no one stopping to give way. Speed is almost as important as surviving.
We'll go sideways at the Formula Drift championships in California, jump on snowmobiles and race on clay, and meet two Swedish sisters aiming to be the fastest on two wheels.
