When we were at Dragway 42 in '21, we saw this Amish buggy get to the pre-stage line and then a jet engine woke up in the back and it propelled it down the length of the drag strip. On Amish buggy tires that is no wider than an inch. Today, we have the owners of the "Thunder Buggy" with us as we had questions like: who came up with the idea, how fast does it goes, how to make it stop, is it a real Amish buggy, test and tune for the first time on an airport runway, jet mechanic anyone, thinking out of the box, them air bags, one inch tire, the Amish reaction, traveling all over with the buggy, garage full of jet engines and so much more. Great guys, go see them if they come near your city. You will not be disappointed!
