It’s Friday and the Agent likes to bring you some lighter items. Here’s one you’re going to love.

Francois Gissy of France recently rode a homemade trike propelled by rainwater and compressed air to 261 km/h (162 mph) while accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 0.55 seconds.

The run was made at the Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet, France. (Kids, don’t try this at home.)   [09/15/17]

Antron Brown has been neck-and-neck with Steve Torrence for most of the regular season, matching him on round wins (44) and advancing to 10 final rounds. But Torrence has seven victories to Brown’s four and won in Indy, taking a 20-point advantage into the Countdown to the Championship. But Brown relishes these moments, in part because of a mindset that never has him looking too far ahead.

“For our team, we’ve been in these Countdown races for quite some time now and what we’ve found to help us is to focus on one round at a time,” said Brown, who has 65 career wins. “If you look at the whole picture, you lose focus on what’s right in front of you. We focus on every little baby step in front of us and do it to the best of our abilities. That’s what really propels us and I think that’s the key element. It starts with your first run in qualifying. That sets the tone and then we see what we have to do to win the next round. That’s the element that really makes it happen.”  (Ron Lewis photo)  [09/15/17]

Mike O’Donnell (far lane) took the 11.0 final over Jeff Kickhoss.

The Street Car Take Over group sponsored by Monster Energy drink was held Sept. 8-9 at Tucson Dragway. The event featured drag racing by street-driven cars with 11 Index classes.

This 1937 Dodge pickup with a modern 6.4 liter Hemi engine won the Truck class.

While not exactly a street car, the Ciolec Family’s twin turbo Mustang driven by Brian Ashworth was certainly popular with the fans.  (Brad Baker photos)  [09/15/17]
